Hanoi (VNA) - US celebrity chef and television personality Anthony Bourdain has died at the age of 61 as a result of suicide, the CNN network confirmed in a statement.
His close friend Eric Ripert, a French chef, found Bourdain’s body hanging in a hotel room on June 8 morning in France.
Bourdain died while on a business trip to Strasbourg, France, to work on a shoot for his series “Parts Unknown” on CNN.
In Season 8 Espisode 1 of this programme, Bourdain explored Vietnam’s capital city of Hanoi and had wonderful experience such as tasting ‘bun oc’ (snail soup) and ‘banh cuon’ (steamed rice rolls).
Vietnamese people know more about Bourdain in 2016 when he and the former US President Barack Obama enjoyed ‘bun cha’ in Hanoi (a popular dish with pork meatballs in an oily soup, seasoned with spices and vinegar, and eaten with rice noodles dipped into the sauce) during the president's visit to Vietnam.
