No Reservations: An Evening with Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert

The host of NO RESERVATIONS, Anthony Bourdain, is coming to the Warner Theatre for one night only. Bourdain is the acclaimed television personality, best-selling author, public speaker, world traveler, gourmand, and punk-rock aficionado. Bourdain will be joined by his special guest and friend, Eric Ripert, chef, author, and host of PBS’ Avec Eric. Ripert has been honing his talents at Le Bernardin, as executive chef and co-owner for the last 18 years. In 2007, Ripert presented his first casual neighborhood American bistro called Westend Bistro by Eric Ripert, for the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. Bourdain, with special guest Ripert, will provide an evening of storytelling and observation providing the audience with a frank and provocative back and forth about what really goes on behind the kitchen doors- from both ends of the spectrum. Through illustrative anecdotes and stories, the night will include highlights from Ripert’s career and lurid lowlights from Bourdain’s career, and will give the audience a real-world understanding of what it takes to survive in the cutthroat culture of fine dining restaurants. The program portion of the evening will include an audience Question and Answer. Ticket price range from $39-$89 (plus applicable service fees) Note: The $89 tickets include access to the post show book signing and reception. Tickets are on sale at the Warner Theatre Box Office (a $5 service charge is added), all Ticketmaster locations including Charge-by- Phone 800.551.SEAT and online at www.ticketmaster.com.
