The culinary and entertainment world is mourning the death of highly regarded chef Anthony Bourdain. The 61 year old Bourdain was found dead Friday in his hotel room in Strasbourg, France. It is believed Bourdain took his own life.
Bourdain was a highly regarded chef in New York City when he shot to fame in 2000 after releasing his best-selling book "Kitchen Confidential: Adventures In The Culinary Underbelly".
Bourdain wrote candidly about past drug use including cocaine, heroin and LSD. He also chronicled the business of fine food.
Bourdain was working on an episode of his CNN series 'Parts Unknown' when he was discovered dead.
