Through the simple act of sharing meals Anthony Bourdain showcased both the extraordinary diversity of cultures and cuisines. I never missed any of his shows “No Reservations” and “Parts Unknown” and am so glad I taped them.

This beautiful but sad man taught us about food and its ability to bring us together.Over the years.. Bourdain and his crews explored over one hundred countries taking viewers including myself into pockets of cultural psyches typically off-limits to tourists.

I will miss him…Rest in Peace Anthony..

Sophie - i too was a fan of Anthony Bourdain and watched both his shows. I feel so sorry for his Mother who had spoken to him only a few days before he took his life. She said he was depressed and in a dark place but didn't think he would do himself in. What a terrible way to be found dead, hanging by a belt in the bathroom. I feel terrible for his little daughter as well. This may affect her for life.  Surely he could have sought help. 

Sometimes Hola..people in that state of mind don't realise they need help..

The way he chose to end his life is so sad..I don't know why he chose to do it that way..

I loved his shows too Sophie, especially his tours in Asia. He said one of his favourite places was Vietnam which I love as well. Apparently he was struggling with addictions most of his life. Very sad.

R.I.P.  Anthony Bourdain

Yes Kiah..he did struggle and my heart goes out to his young daughter who has to live with this for the rest of her life..

It's a great shame his life ended the way it did. Together with Australian Vietnamese chef Luke Nguyen, Anthony Bourdain was one of my favourites. I will miss not seeing him on TV, but  I'm sure we'll see many replays. RIP

The replays have started Bijou..however I can't bear to watch them, too sad.

I have tapes and maybe in a year of so I will bring them out. You can have copies if you like..

Yes Ladies..just goes to show "having it all"..makes no difference if one is sad within. I hope his lovely young daughter will be able to live with this tragedy...
