    For one night only, Bourdain will spend the evening sharing candid, unyielding insights about his life’s work and travels, including an open question and answer session with the audience.

    Hi- The tickets range from $46.50 to $201.50! Will they be able to fill the theater at that price? I've heard though that there is a lot of upkeep at the Auditorium Theater, and they generally don't have an event unless they think they can draw a crowd. I would not be surprised if a Groupon or something similar appears a week before he appears there.
    Thanks, Nancy

    It's a rental event. It's not being produced by the Auditorium or Roosevelt University.

    He's done this a few times before, so I think they know what they are doing. If you search the board you'll find threads of past performances.

    Kind of makes me miss the old days, when he'd just show up at a bookstore and chat for free. :(

    Hi,

    I have gone twice to a Bourdain live program. Once at the Chicago Theater, where he was a solo act.

    A few years ago, Bourdain was paired with a French chef buddy who played off each other. I liked this far more than the solo effort. There was a relationship and history, which was quite interesting. They could also take each other down a peg, which doesn't happen in the solo performance.

    Regards,
    Cathy2

    The buddy is Eric Ripert, chef of Le Bernadin.

    I will likely attend this. I'll opt for the cheapest ticket (probably the upper balcony). I think yesterday was the first day you could buy a ticket at the Auditorium Theatre box office.

    We saw him solo several years ago at the Genessee in Waukegan and he was very entertaining.

    I bought the ticket. (I bought this quite a while ago. I just didn't get back to LTHF until now. :lol:) I paid $56.50 for a ticket way up on the 6th floor: Sect. GAL-CR; Row D; Seat 11. I bought it @ the Auditorium Theatre Box Office. It may vary if you buy it elsewhere, but included was a $3.00 discount on parking at Loop Auto Parks @ Harrison & Wabash {which would reduce it to $15+}. I am not going to use this coupon. If somebody else would like to have it, let me know. :idea:
    If you have not yet viewed it, please be alert for when CNN replays the "Parts Unknown" episode about Tokyo. Watch it. Just - watch it. :twisted:

    Reruns of Part Unknown are also shown on Netflix. The bigger question is where Tony and Eric will be eating in Chicago. Any guesses?

    Is there any confirmation that Eric Ripert will be on the bill?
    I think they'll hit the downtown ramen shacks: Slurping Turtle, Ramen-San, High Five Ramen. :)
    Realize that Lollapalooza starts the next day. He might try to hit the same venues as some of the musicians performing.

    Hi- I found this on mashupmom.com, which is a couponing site I visit which is based out of DuPage County. For anybody that is familiar with Goldstar, which is a discount ticket site, currently they have tickets for Anthony Bourdain's July 30th appearance at Auditorium Theatre on July 30 on sale for $35.40. I am not sure if there are any other fees or not. Here is a link to Goldstar.
    https://www.goldstar.com/signup
    You have to sign up at the site though before they will let you see the details. Hope this helps, Nancy
