His hotel room was right across the hallway from me the night of my wedding in Chicago. The next night my husband and I found ourselves sitting next to him at the bar. We had a nice conversation about food in Chicago. I have read every one of his books and watched every one of his shows. Every time I walk into bleuduckkitchen where I live in #rochestermn I get a nice reminder of that interaction I had with him when I see his portrait on the wall #bourdainday #anthonybourdain
