Although it’s common for chefs to be treated like rock stars, they still have to foot the bill after trashing hotel rooms with Grey Poupon. Savor the marinated words of a cooking master with this deal to see Guts and Glory: An Evening with Anthony Bourdain at the Mead Theatre at Schuster Center. For $32, you get one ticket for upper-balcony seating on Sunday, November 18, at 7 p.m. (up to a $56 value, including all fees). Doors open at 6 p.m.

One of the culinary world’s most famously outspoken gastronomes serves up an insightful night for foodies during Guts and Glory: An Evening with Anthony Bourdain. The lovably abrasive Bourdain, who’s as verbose and cutting as a serrated thesaurus, has won over food enthusiasts with his bestselling book Medium Raw and his opined explorations of the culinary landscape chronicled in the Travel Channel’s No Reservations. During an interview last year with New York magazine, Bourdain described his job as traveling “around the world eating and drinking and making self-indulgent television about the experience.” In 2013, the author and Emmy Award winner will be starring in two new shows, one a cooking-competition series on ABC and the second a travel-documentary program on CNN.
