Terrace Theater will host an evening celebrating the late Anthony Bourdain Sun., July 18. The night will feature a 7:15 p.m. screening of the 2021 documentary Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain followed by a panel discussion with Edmund’s Oast executive chef Bob Cook, Charleston Bartenders Guild president Megan Deschaine and GigPro co-owner Ben Ellsworth, among others.
Bourdain died at age 61 in June 2018. The celebrity chef, cookbook author and travel documentarian was best known for his New York Times bestselling book Kitchen Confidential along with hit television shows No Reservations (2005-2012), The Layover (2011-2013) and Parts Unknown (2013-2018).
In 2015 during Season 6 of Parts Unknown, Bourdain visited the Lowcountry, making stops in Charleston at the Waffle House on Savannah Highway, Husk and FIG before traveling to Scott’s Bar-B-Que in Hemingway, where pitmaster Rodney Scott mastered whole hog barbecue before opening his King Street restaurant.
Roadrunner is directed by Oscar-winner Morgan Neville and tells the story of Bourdain’s life and death by suicide. According to Eater, the documentary is “narrated by Bourdain himself, his voiceover taken from unused and archive footage to mold a narrative.” The film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival June 11, and will land in theaters July 16.
