The world loves pairings–peanut butter and jelly, Siegfried and Roy, Cheech and Chong–you get the drift. The friendship of renowned chefs Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert has baffled many for years. One is infamous for his razor-tongued and candid wit while the other is known for his mild manners and culinary genius (not to mention an endearingly suave French accent–just listen to Ripert say poissonier). Perhaps it’s true–opposites do attract. The two have often paired up for television appearances, cooking demos, and even hosted a limited-run show on Sirius XM radio together. Their chemistry is undeniable and anyone who has watched or listened to the twosome find them entertaining in a ‘you-should-take-that-show-on-the-road’ kind of way. Well, they have done just that.
On November 2nd, Bourdain and Ripert will take the stage at the Merriam Theater in Philadelphia to share hilarious and gossip-worthy stories from the culinary underbelly–letting the audience in on what really happens behind those swinging kitchen doors. Those attending would do well to practice their best James Lipton impression as the chefs will be taking questions from the audience as well.

I LOVE Anthony Bourdain, especially when he appears on Top Chef!
Bourdain’s a big mouth but I love him. 🙂 I totally love his take on vegans/vegetarians. Liked you on FB by the way..
Well, I always laugh at the things Bourdain says…but I remember when he said… It’s like Betty Crocker and Charles Manson had a love child and he’s cooking for me…I don’t remember who it was about, but it’s one of his comments that actually stuck. Oh and when he liked to call Marcel (Top Chef), Gastro Boy. =)
He is hilarious…I love how he called vegans a “Hezbollah-like faction”. Too funny (yet so true). 🙂
Eric is so hot!!! Love him and his cookbook Avec Eric.
Hey guys, don’t forget to provide your share link in your comments! Thanks!
I love that Ripert has a Philly presence!

My favorite Ripert moment was when he was on David Letterman.
(this should have been in my last comment but I hit send too fast and I couldn’t edit my comment!)
I dig Bourdain–he’s hilarious! I love how he recently went off on Paula Deen. Btw, I shared a post to this link on Twitter and I ‘liked’ you on FB.
