Anthony Bourdain, CNN's 'Parts Unknown' Host & Chef, Dead At 61 In Apparent Suicide
On Sunday, late chef Anthony Bourdain won six posthumous Creative Arts Emmy Awards for his work on the CNN series Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.
Bourdain’s series won prizes for Outstanding Writing for a Nonfiction Program and Outstanding Informational Series or Special. The show also took home awards for picture editing, sound editing and sound mixing.
The chef died by suicide on June 8 at the age of 61.
Lydia Tenaglia, a producer for Parts Unknown, told Deadline this week that Bourdain had “always coveted” these Emmys, after being nominated in the Creative Arts categories multiple times. The show previously won a cinematography award in 2013, the year it began. The series consisted of Bourdain traveling to different countries to explore different types of cuisines.
