U.S. celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, who committed suicide in June at age 61, posthumously earned a pair of Emmy Awards on Sunday for his work on the popular CNN food-and-travel show he hosted, "Parts Unknown."

Bourdain was awarded one of the Emmys, the U.S. television industry's highest honor, for outstanding writing of a nonfiction program for an episode set in southern Italy that aired last November, during its 10th season.

He also shared a second Emmy for best informational series or special in his role as host and executive producer of "Parts Unknown."
