Bourdain and Batali's 'right-hand' woman Laurie Woolever on her tell-all book
New York food writer, editor and podcaster Laurie Woolever spent the early years of her career assisting two very famous chefs: first Mario Batali, then Anthony Bourdain, for whom she worked for nine years. Woolever was also, for much of this time, an addict – using alcohol, marijuana and sex to get through the ups and downs of work, marriage and motherhood. She writes about all of this in her candid 2025 memoir, Care & Feeding, which suggests that while she did a lot of care and feeding for others, it took some time to learn how to do it for herself. Hosting today’s episode is Good Weekend senior writer Katrina Strickland. Lifeline: 13 11 14. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
