A Conversation and Signing with Anthony Bourdain’s Longtime Collaborator


In her first solo project, Care and Feeding, Laurie Woolever, the longtime assistant, collaborator, and co-author to Anthony Bourdain, has written a sharp-witted memoir that traces her path from a small-town childhood to working at revered restaurants and food publications. Woolever attempts to carve out her own space as a woman while crossing paths professionally with two of the formerly most powerful men in the business: Mario Batali and Anthony Bourdain. 


Join Laurie for an intimate conversation with the executive features editor of Food & Wine, Kat Kinsman. They’ll delve into Laurie’s experiences navigating this toxic and intoxicating hospitality industry while also wrestling with addiction and the domino effect that it had on her romantic life and her identity as a mother.


Copies of Care and Feeding: A Memoir by Laurie Woolever are available for purchase with tickets and at the event from our friends at Kitchen Arts & Letters.
