This is pretty crushing. His shows were so inspiring! I’m sure they will motivate multiple generations of folks to get out and see the world. My thoughts to his close friends and family...

I saw an article how just a couple hrs before the report his GF posted some nasty shit on her social media but has since taken it down. A “fuck you” t shirt with a title of “you know who you are”.
Who knows though?

From his book...
I push my guys to read and I ask them to read the chapter on a guy he referred only as "Bigfoot" the greatest restaurant manager he ever saw. After they read it, I ask who is "Bigfoot?" My answer is "you can be, if you try as hard as he did."
From his show...
"Anthony Bourdain had one of the only shows on tv that tried with all its might to teach Americans not to be scared of other people."

I'm sorry his daughter has to grow up without a father now, always wondering if his suicide had something to do with her.

LOL. I was 19. Youngster. Get off my lawn. And ya, I was there too.
So, I will be the first to admit that I couldn't really stand to watch PA at first. And had never heard of him, even a few seasons in. At first I just couldn't stand to listen to and watch him slurp noodles. But then I listened to what he was saying. And watched some other seasons. He started to grow on me. I heard a great interview on NPR. And I began to enjoy his insights. I worked in kitchens for a few years in my teens and into my mid 20s so I could relate on some levels. I never aspired to be a chef and wandered off into IT. Part of me still relates to the gritty world of kitchens. I took umbrage when he said in the NPR interview that he wouldn't tolerate the Grateful Dead music in his kitchens. And then I thought about it. He was right. Sort of. Kitchens are no place for live tapes. Most heads wanted to play the Spacey jams and that isn't the kind of groove one needs. I then laughed to myself when I recalled calling WRUV for them to play Iron Prostate, 'Bring me the head of Jerry Garcia. Dead.' again after we heard it the first time. Everybody else was at Highgate '95. We were slaving away and listening to a death metal show. I like a lot of different music. Jerry died a few weeks later. I think the episode with Obama really did it for me. I no longer cared if he slurped noodles. In the Trump era, it really sunk in what AB was about, at least in public. And I dug it. People. What brings us together. I am going to miss AB. RIP. May your kitchen be well ventilated and your music cranked.

I met him in either 02 or 03. He was still working and I was a line cook at a series of decent, but not great, restaurants. I'd moved to NYC but had no luck doing anything besides prep cooking. I figured I'd be in the restaurant business as a career and was making plans to go to culinary school in hopes of making the jump from line cook in ski-town restaurants to something better in the city. I saw him at a bar in Alphabet City, drinking alone at some insane hour of the morning. I recognized him from the book jacket of Kitchen Confidential and I drank vodka with him and he talked me out of culinary school. I quit cooking a few weeks later, bike messengered for a bit, then left the city entirely. Before I left, I sent him my copy of Kitchen Confidential with a note reminding him that I was the guy who talked about culinary school at the bar and he sent it back signed: "Don't do it. Whatever you do, for fucks sake, don't do it."
I'm really glad I took his advice. I'm not one to get caught up in celebrity deaths, but this really sucks.

The shocking and frightening thing is that in so many ways Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain seem to have had the world by the tail. If having millions and living your dream life isn’t enough to stave off depression and suicide what the hell is? Heck if they needed to start and run a charity to feel like they had a mission or were helping others, they had the connections and wherewithal to do it.

Anthony Bourdain dead
Great story. Thanks.
My dad was a journalist and so was my grandfather. I was never going to be a journalist or thought about it but when I was about 16 and dad was very sick he told me to never go in the business, it was no good. At that time time journalists made nothing. It was almost charity work and had long hours.. The fourth estate and all that.

That’s not how depression works. Sometimes not having structure, or purpose, actually makes it worse. Humans actually need it. That’s why so many rich people end up on drugs or dead.
Think of all the Mexicans you see behind Home Depot who are laughing and looking forward to a days for for $40 and a sixer. None of them are alone either.
