Anthony Bourdain, the affable American celebrity chef and author who shared his voracious curiosity for the world's food and cultures with millions through his popular television shows, has died at the age of 61.
Bourdain was found dead while in France filming an episode of his Emmy-winning CNN food and travel program "Parts Unknown," the network said Friday.
French authorities said Bourdain died at a luxury hotel, the Chambard, in the village of Kaysersberg in the Haut-Rhin region of Alsace.
