Anthony Bourdain A Cook's Season 2 Episode 10: Tour Singapore New York in Twenty Years

[@Boom12]

This single episode, put Singapore on the map for foodies, and we Singaporeans are forever grateful for Tony. Thank you Chef, when you left us, it left deep void in our country. We deeply miss you Tony.

[@genesis1716]

Whenever I watch Tony’s shows I always feel like I was a part of his experience. He connects with people like no one can. He is definitely missed.

[@PietervanSchalkwyk-s7j]

Whenever i hear his voice, everything in this world immediately feels ok

We all face the same fate ultimately, it's just a matter of how and when.

[@danielm4114]

Death....everyone's future eventually.

[@rollingrizzo1291]

No one should take the action to take their own life when it is so preciously lived and given.

[@AJ-je9qp]

@@rollingrizzo1291 he was battling substance abuse and mental health for decades. he mentioned how a bad burger at an airport put him in a state of depression for days. we're lucky he lived and shared his life for as long as he did. if one's life is to just exist then is it really living at all?

[@STSGuitar16]

This is easily my favorite show Bourdain ever did. Something about the early 2000s aesthetic is so nostalgic for me and always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside lol. It's a shame this show only lasted two seasons but I still come back for a rewatch every year or two. It just captured that point in time so well and felt so natural. Nothing is over-produced, it's just Tony giving it to us straight. Just love the whole vibe of this show so much.

[@cdb5001]

The Malay lady who went shopping with Tony was a sweetheart.

[@cassandramalfoy]

He made me as a teenager want to travel, to try new foods, meals I’ve never experienced, and want to cook more. Tony is missed by so many of us. ❤

[@GoTraveler]

Thanks for sharing! He's inspired so many and glad to hear he's inspired you, too!

[@feztheaimless]

the 'not wanting to know his future' line hits deep

[@thomasvideoa]

He reached a level that today's youtubers have not achieved.

[@dneecie3059]

[@PietervanSchalkwyk-s7j]

Yesss. Gone too soon. A king amongst men

[@appl2597]

There is only one Anthony Bourdain. He is so relatable.

[@thesweeples3266]

He’s dead

[@Wil_Dasovich]

this is my 1st time seeing A Cooks tour and man it is a different take from PArts Unkwon. More raw and vlog type, but cool cuz u get to see more of Anthony just being himself and tlaking. Atleast thats what it seems from this epsiode.

[@jackscratch785]

Was not a big fan of Parts Unknown. Too political. Tony looked exhausted towards the end. Prefer No Reservations & A Cook's Tour. More snark.

[@michaelmerck7576]

I only seen the no reservations and parts unknown but these are good too

[@genestone4951]

The CNN show had no soul; the ultimate packaging of Anthony B into an American consumer product. I'm sure Tony knew it. Cooks Tour was the real deal.

[@frank4245]

Tony is still the best! No one can replace him...

[@jeffreyking279]

This was AB's finest hour. Raw and unfiltered. It was genius. You are missed beyond words.

[@frankzed4120]

Miss you. Tony. The world was a better place with you in it. I hope you are at peace, wherever you are, my friend.

[@blankblank9117]

A true intelligent rockstar. It's bitter sweet watching these

[@glenshiotsugu6597]

What a great way of expression of the great Tony, um, sorry, Tony was best!!! Miss him forever, his genius will never be equalled and it comes with a whole lot of sensitivity? Another Bourdain, never, never!!!

[@dbrown101272]

I could watch this episode over and over again. Thank God you’ll always be with us through your books and shows Tony.

[@allisonmarlow184]

Amen!

[@susanborkenhagen58]

I always liked this series of his more than Parts Unknown since he talks about food, food, food. I like knowing about different cultures too and that is why No Reservations is my favorite series of his. I learned how to open my mind and mouth and ate anything I could that resembled the wonderfully extensive tastes and flavors of so many cultures around the world. Twenty years after watching these for the first time I can alread see changes in food and eating on a world wide menu and some of it has to do with Tony's shows.

[@cdb5001]

Agreed, No Reservations was more him being genuine. Parts Unknown started well but ended up looking like an art project and Tony quoting random bits of literature to seem like an intellectual. We already knew he was smart.

[@Jack-2day]

Totally agree, in fact here is Tony at his deadpan hilarious self: @18:41 😂 Cheers

[@jinngeechia9715]

Tony made us want to travel. We can see pictures, videos and hear sounds from videos. Of places and lands and of peoples. What is missing from the experience is the smells and the taste. He gave us this hunger for it. Thank you Tony. You are sorely missed.

[@daniyvs]

a better food show is yet to be made. legend

[@SatanClaus69]

Beef Rendang is not just a stew with spices. It is the best dish in the world, there is no competition. I've lived in Malaysia for 27 years, I think I've eaten at least 12 cows worth of Rendang. I basically live for food thanks to this guy. So glad I can live it daily.

[@sonny9054]

While I love beef rendang myself, I think it’s a bold claim to single it out as the best dish in the world. For instance, if we take similar dishes, the French beef Bourguignon and the Japanese beef stew is right up there.

[@aisoise2161]

In Minangkabau originally it's buffalo rendang.

[@SatanClaus69]

@@sonny9054 I respectfully disagree

[@timothysaludo1715]

Singapore is the GREATEST food city in the world. The food is a mix of Chinese, Malay, Indonesia, Thai, Indian, Middle Easten, and European. In addition to that, you get some of the BEST traditional French (and other European), Japanese, Korean, and Chinese restaurants in the world there.

[@Tonyhouse1168]

“Itchy Rich” is the best thing I’ve heard today (:

[@yoitsdan]

I miss Tony so much. RIP

[@purpletactics6969]

That oriental dude at the last segment reminds me of my closest friends when theyre drunk and trying to recommend a place to eat. The mannerisms, expressions and all.

[@nordicblood8470]

Bwahahahaha….Bourdain is and was a legend long before anybody knew him. This has got to be one of the best and funniest video. He will live forever!

[@rodw4057]

What a loss for the world! Tony was the best story Teller. There will never be another!! I wish he was much stronger though. Nobody should do what he did over another person, EVER!! I MISS YOU TONY!! MAY YOU HAVE PEACE NOW.

[@whisper1776]

8:57 I love this cute old lady's chuckle.

[@juliustan9647]

HAHAHAHAHHA

[@nicknicholas3186]

Why do I feel so pissed watching Tony's videos now? I feel same watching Robin Williams stuff. Suicide is so difficult to understand. You just don't know what's really going on in their heads. My father committed suicide 17 years ago. But he was 92 and dying from cancer. These 2 however we're young and apparently everything to live for. Rip Tony. I'll keep watching..

[@michaelcastro2209]

17:56 I like the way this guy thinks

[@jasonborne9839]

Tony told his Homie, "I know you've eaten Donkey Butt" and he said it with a straight face. Bros wasn't even offended. Dude is Hilarious!!!🤣✌

[@philipb2134]

A well-prepared beef rendang is one of the best culinary delights a person can experience.

[@jonafrica5739]

god theres two sides to watching tony for me now and it will always be like that for the rest of my time. RIP man i get the pain and struggle

[@timothygu3]

7:56 this look hits better in 2021. Tony was ahead of his time.

Alcohol is also a depressant, which helps along with thinning out the blood and drawing moisture from your system.

Nice reference at the end to the young man who got caned for spitting his chewing gum on the ground in Singapore not too many years before this episode aired..!

What? Not even close. He threw paint on a $300k Mercedes then refused to admit it even though they were caught red-handed. His 2 other friends admitted it and got off with warnings. And Clinton intervened to get his sentence reduced to the minimum 3 strokes.

Are they using OMNY in the subways yet or is it still MetroCard?

[@Lewis.Alcindor]

@@tracydanneo OMNY is now available on all subway stations and buses. However, it's not as widely used as it should because unlimited weekly or monthly plans aren't available yet, though that's not much of a concern if we are hybrid remote-working (and spending less time and $ commuting). I would love to start using OMNY, but I still have a couple of MetroCards still full of money, and I only ride two fares a week (one day of office work).
