The "No Reservations," "The Layover," and "Parts Unknown" host is gearing up for his next big project - this one in New York City.
Expected to house 100 food stalls, the project will take up 155,000 square feet and is expected to open in 2017.
Knowing Bourdain's edgy taste, you can guarantee this will not be your average food hall. Instead of Chick-fil-A, think octopus ceviche and gourmet dim sum.
There will be one full-service restaurant, a selection of wholesale vendors (butchers, fishmongers, and the like), and then the main event: a Singapore-style "hawker market" of global street foods, turning the space into a buzzy day-to-night scene for eating and drinking exotic dishes.
"The way people eat has changed," Bourdain told the New York Times in September. "They want to be at counters and communal tables. They want heat and funk and chicken wings that set their hair on fire... That's what I want to create for New York, some place where I would want to eat. Right now, there is nothing like that."
Bourdain recently released a "wish list" via The List App of some of the dishes that he would want on the market's menu.
Check out his top picks - looks like a primarily Asian selection so far - and try not to get too hungry too soon.
