Anthony Bourdain and Eric Ripert may be celebrated chefs (and, in the case of Bourdain, a noted world traveler). Other than that, they're about as unlikely a pair of friends as two can be. But when they're together and some booze is flowing, the stories are hilarious, frank and endless.

Which is why fans of Ripert and especially Bourdain should be at the ready at their computers 10 a.m. Nov. 16 when tickets to the "Good Vs. Evil" tour featuring Ripert and Bourdain go on sale. The May 9, 2013 show at the Auditorium Theatre will feature the two—whomever of the two you deem good or evil is up to you—dishing about life on the line and in the kitchen. If you don't want to wait until Friday, there's a presale happening right now—use the code TONY.
