Anthony Bourdain's Possessions Will Be Auctioned to Fund New Study Abroad Scholarship

An online auction of Anthony Bourdain’s belongings will take place from October 9 to 30, 2019.

When news of Anthony Bourdain’s death broke in June 2018, the influx of heartfelt tributes shared in his honor demonstrated the impact he had on people around the world—his family, friends, and fans alike. Throughout his career as a celebrity chef, best-selling author, and award-winning TV personality, Bourdain encouraged travelers to engage with people, cultures, and places—no matter how unfamiliar.

This month, an online auction of some of Bourdain’s most treasured belongings will help fund an effort to continue that legacy. Bidding will run from October 9 to 30, 2019.

The online auction includes early writings by Anthony Bourdain, among them the original “Kitchen Confidential” manuscript. Bidding starts from $150.

According to those who knew Bourdain personally, the collection of approximately 215 items presents a true portrait of the late Parts Unknown host, who had a famously “cool” and somewhat specific personal style. (Bourdain’s longtime personal assistant, Laurie Woolever, told the New York Times that the chef was selective about the items he collected despite traveling extensively and being offered gifts in most places he went.)

I couldn’t eat. My appetite was zero and no one could induce me to eat more than a spoonful of soup or a bite of solid food. It just turned my stomach. I wasn’t recovering well but I knew I had to eat.

I watched a marathon of Bourdain’s videos for two days and eventually it made me hungry enough to start eating. I’ve always felt I owe my life to him. I was devastated when he died.
