| Good vs. Evil: An evening with Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert DeVos Performance Hall, Grand Rapids Feb. 19, 7 p.m. $32.50-$125 devosperformancehall.com, (616) 742-6500 |
Anthony Bourdain is one of those rare polarizing, divisive figures who manages to simultaneously electrify and horrify audiences the world over. He is perhaps as well known for his smart mouth as for his smart cooking — after all, he didn't earn the "bad boy of cuisine" moniker by helping old grannies bake pink cupcakes. As an author, Bourdain has overseen the publication of seven hugely popular books, including Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. As a television host, he helms the Travel Channel's top-rated "No Reservations" program. And as a chef, well, let's just say there isn't enough space here to publish all the possible "puts his money where our mouths are" puns. Joined by fellow celeb-chef Eric Ripert, host of PBS's "Avec Eric," these two top chefs have an evening in Grand Rapids set in their spatula-shaped gun-sights, and one can be certain that the fat will fly in every possible sense of the phrase. Miss out on this one and expect a lifetime full of regret and cold beans out of a can.
