You might know Anthony Bourdain from his New York Times best-selling book “Kitchen Confidential,” which went behind the scenes of restaurant kitchens. Or, you may know him from his CNN show “Parts Unknown,” in which they pay him to eat his way around the world. But these days, he’s exploring a little closer to home in his new online web series The Balvenie’s “Raw Craft,” which follows people at the forefront of the American craft industry – including the group at SJC Drums in Southbridge, Massachusetts.
Anthony Bourdain joined Jim Braude to talk about the series, the opioid crisis and harassment in the restaurant business.
