EVERYONE SAYS THAT CHICAGO IS
FULL OF DIVERSE NEIGHBORHOODS,
THIS I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT, NOW
I DO.
WHERE ARE WE, WHY ARE WE HERE?
I HAVE TO SAY, I AM GLAD WE ARE
HERE.
BEFORE THIS CHICAGO EPISODE
OF ANTHONY BORDEN'S, PARTS
UNKNOWN AIRED IN 2016, HE SAID
ANY EXCUSE TO COME BACK TO
CHICAGO IS A GOOD ONE.
THE CELEBRITY CHEF AND AUTHOR
WAS FOUND DEAD IN A HOTEL ROOM
IN FRANCE, AN APPARENT SUICIDE.
HIS TV SHOWS HAVE OPENED
VIEWERS EYES TO FOOD AND SOCIAL
COMPLEXITIES OF THE WORLD
AROUND US.
CBS 2'S, VINCE DURACELL HE
REPORTS AND THIS WAS TRUE WHERE
EVER HE VISITED.
Reporter: CHICAGO IS FAMOUS
FOR MANY THINGS, NOT ALL OF
THEM ARE CELEBRATED.
Reporter: IN A CLASSIC
CHICAGO SARCASTIC VISIT ANTHONY
BORDEN IN DINED AT A PIZZA.
HE DID NOT LOVE THE PIZZA
BUT HE LOVED THE MAN THAT MADE
IT.
Reporter: THE CONNECTION TO
THOSE BEHIND THE PLATE HELP
DEFINE ANTHONY BORDEN.
THIS WAS HIS TABLE ME THAT DAY
AND HIS FRIEND FOR YEARS.
HE WAS A COMPLEX AND
COMPLICATED AND SOMETIMES
VULNERABLE MAN.
Reporter: FOR DANE --
ANTHONY BORDEN WROTE ABOUT THE
KITCHEN BUT THEN EXPORT MORE
COMPLEX TOPICS.
HE STARTED WITH FOOD AND
DRINK, BEYOND THAT IT REALLY
GOT TO THE BIGGER CULTURAL AND
SOCIAL ISSUES THAT DROVE THEM.
THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD IS
IN THIS PLATE, IT TELLS A
STORY, A PERSONAL ONE.
Reporter: ON ANOTHER
BROADCAST, ANTHONY BOARDING
WRAPPED HIS HANDS AROUND THE
CLASSIC SANDWICH IN BRIDGEPORT.
PEOPLE WOULD SAY IS THIS THE
PLACE THAT HE CAME TO?
Reporter: CHICAGO MUSIC
PRODUCER AND ANTHONY BORDEN'S
PROGRAM HAD EVOLVED INTO
SOMETHING MORE DIGESTIBLE.
EVERYONE JUST WANTED TO KEEP
DOING THIS.
THE FACT THAT HE DID NOT TRY
TO COME OFF AS OMNISCIENT, BUT
MORE CURIOUS MADE HIM A UNIQUE
VOICE.
HE KNEW WHAT WE LOVED, HE
KNEW WHY AND HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT
IT WAS THAT DROVE THE PEOPLE
THAT HE LOVE TO MAKE IT FOR US.
Reporter: IN AN INTERVIEW HE
ONCE SAID TO ME JOKINGLY THAT
WHEN HE WENT INTO THE
RESTAURANT BUSINESS IT WAS
SOMETHING THAT WAS DONE BETWEEN
ARREST AND CONVICTIONS.
BUT HE HELPED TO CELEBRATE THE
KITCHEN CULTURE AND OPEN IT UP
TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.
LOOK HOW WE APPRECIATE IT
TODAY.
HE PLAYED A BIG PART OF THE
BLOSSOMING OF PEOPLE
UNDERSTANDING WHAT FOOD WAS,
WHAT RESTAURANTS WERE, AND THE
PEOPLE THAT MADE THEM.
THROUGH TELEVISION AND THROUGH
RESTAURANTS, HE WAS SUCH A
UNIQUE CHARACTER.
HE FOUND THE THREAD THAT WE
COULD ALL RELATE TO.
Reporter: HE WAS NOT A HOITY-
TOITY KIND OF GUY, HE COULD'VE
BEEN, HE STUDIED AT THE CIA,
INSTEAD, HE FOUND A WAY THAT WE
COULD ALL APPRECIATE FOOD
TOGETHER AND EXPLORE COMPLEX
ISSUES.
THANKS FINNES.
THIS IS A NUMBER THAT YOU
HAVE PROBABLY SEEN A LOT THIS
