An excerpt ripping Kissinger from late chef Anthony Bourdain's book, “A Cook’s Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal,” published after his death in 2018, also circulated online Wednesday, according to HuffPost.

Also not the easiest of colleagues, and not a natural TV host at first, per his longtime producers Lydia Tenaglia and Christopher Collins, who began working with Bourdain on the Food Network series “A Cook’s Tour.”

More “Cook’s Tour” footage shows the consumption of a live cobra heart, from when stunt-eating was Bourdain’s stock-in-trade, and he notes, all casual bravado, “It kind of pumps on its way down.”

Since he started traveling and eating on camera with the Food Network’s “A Cook’s Tour” in 2000, the chef, frequent dropper of f-bombs and insatiable eater of delicious things had spent the majority of his time in the field, most recently for his CNN show “Parts Unknown.”

Then, when I found Anthony Bourdain's book and also his first show, "A Cook's Tour," he had a voice that I recognized from punk rock.
