Celebrate fall with Anthony Bourdain's 5 most comforting recipes

Cherished and celebrated for his trademark acerbic wit, advocation for the working class and marginalized communities, and his sharp, incisive commentary on all things food, Anthony Bourdain remains a stalwart influence on the food industry at large.

Bourdain, of course, meant (and means) so many different things to so many different people. As "Roadrunner" director Morgan Neville told Salon's Alli Joseph, "I think with Tony, I mean, he was so complicated, but one of the things I came to realize was in many ways, his flaws were also his superpowers."

So, for those looking to lean into the dawn of fall and start building a repertoire of top-tier comfort foods, here a rundown of some of Bourdain's most comforting dishes to enjoy on a cozy night in. From his many books and cookbooks to his numerous cooking show appearances and his travel shows like "Parts Unknown," Bourdain has a deep bench of recipes to his name.

Take your pick of these and be certain that your recipe will turn out perfectly.
