Anthony Bourdain and Erip Ripert were best friends, and it was Eric who found Tony that morning in Paris in 2018.

Six years before, Ripert hosted him on an ep of AT THE TABLE. Tony prepares a dish, but it's their easy conversation and Tony's blunt, no-bullshit takes on his life and career, the business and a dozen other topics that make this a must-watch for Bourdain fans.

Today is #BourdainDay, my late friend #AnthonyBourdain’s 68th birthday. My friend #EricRipert and I began this holiday to celebrate everything Tony did for the world, and how he used #food to break down walls and build longer tables. He will always be missed terribly by all of us…but we can honor his legacy as we continue to do actions big and small to create a better world. I hope you will join us in celebrating Bourdain Day in a way that is meaningful to you! ❤️🙏
