She was unforgettable. A spark in the culinary world. Bold, hilarious, fiercely talented, and deeply human — Anne Burrell wasn’t just a chef. She was a force of nature.
And now, at just 55 years old, her bright, spiky-haired presence has slipped from our everyday lives — leaving behind a profound silence, and a legacy that will continue to simmer in kitchens around the world.
On the morning of June 17, 2025, Anne was found unresponsive in her Brooklyn home. Emergency responders rushed to the scene, but despite their best efforts, she could not be revived. Though the world reels in the wake of this devastating news, her memory remains rich, bold, and full of flavor — just like the meals she created.
