Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batali, alleged “bad boys of cuisine,” are not your typical celebrity chefs. Witness the two as they discuss the world of restaurants, chefs and cooking in what is sure to be a colorful evening of foodie banter. Joined in the mix to moderate the discussion is Seattle’s Luke Burbank, host of KIRO Radio’s “Too Beautiful to Live.”

Bourdain returns to Seattle after a sold out engagement last year at The Moore Theatre. Bourdain is as irreverent, opinionated and entertaining as always in The Nasty Bits, his book of essays derived in part from his popular television travelogue series, “No Reservations.” Bourdain is the author of seven books, including Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour.

Batali co-wrote A Culinary Road Trip to Spain with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Now on PBS, the book comes to life as “Spain…On the Road Again” starring Batali, Paltrow, food writer Mark Bittman and actress Claudia Bassols.
