I've been bingeing this channel for the last week, immense gratitude for your work uploading Bourdain's lesser-known first show.

[@buttface9434]

television sure was cheezy back then. still is, but that was a bad era.

Lesser known? This is what got him famous

Thanks for watching, William! Happy to hear you're enjoying A Cook's Tour. There are also clips of the show in the new documentary, Roadrunner.

Why they killed Anthony?

[@susworld129]

There will never be another Anthony Bourdain. We miss you.

[@Alecasand]

The huge sea food restaurant was in Soi Sukhumvit 24, exactly behind the building that I used to live, every night after finish, the staff play football in the parking lot. Covid killed that restaurant and now is a construction site, another building.

Rewatcjimg his old shows is an eye opener in to how he really was. Such comments as lying crying on my bathroom floor, do I have a problem, among many more. So sad he had so many issues, he was, and still is, an icon and a legend.

[@EGO0808]

Bangkok is without a doubt the best environment for this show. And Anthony makes it even better.

[@GoTraveler]

100% agree!!

[@ycplum7062]

The veil between brilliance and sanity is thin. That makes inspirational people like him vulnerable. He will be missed. But at least he left a mark for others to appreciate.

I really admired him. I followed him from the beginning when he wasn’t very well known. I would mention him to my friends and coworkers and how great he was but they didn’t know anything about him. Finally one girl I worked with was a big fan too and we would talk and laugh every week about his latest episode. I sure miss him.

*"AMPHIBILICIOUS"* 🤣🤣 When he's in the funky fish market restaurant & brings up K-mart it brought up memories for me!!🤣 because my local K-mart had not only the concession section up front where you'd get the famous Icee from the icee polar bear & popcorn, etc BUT it had a cafeteria/diner in the back as well. 1970's Orange & Brown decor, trays you'd take your food to your table with & you could hear "blue light special on isle 9" just like he mentions here😍

Born and raised in Bkk, I’m very certain that none of my Bangkokian friends including myself know any of these places. Serve the extreme to the tourists!!!

[@Alecasand]

Well, Bangkok is tourist place, now with covid thais finally learned how important those farangs are for the economy.

[@genestone4951]

Correct. Ban Lao isn't even open anymore. I guess its good to keep the "secret" places a secret:-)

[@TheLefouette]

Bourdain is awesome all around. Missing him. Working hard right now to continue his legacy

[@Citizenvelo]

I for one love the lower production value and edgier Tony in this first show

[@erickelly4107]

While in the Marine Corps, I spent about 6 weeks in Thailand for a training exercise "Operation Cobra Gold" during the summer of 2000'. I was just 21 years of age at the time and had a blast there. This particular episode took place in 2003' apparently.

[@genestone4951]

Cobra Gold still goes on every year, although there's talk of stopping it. US-Thai relations suffered somewhat after several US ambassadors said some very foolish things.

[@andreww3621]

All episodes from seasons 1 & 2 were produced in 2000/2001 and aired in 2002/2003 Which means this one was filmed in 01 and aired in 03

[@guerrerojaguar6371]

You can tell he was a rookie at this stage, trying so hard to be entertaining, later on, it kind of came naturally, missing you Mr. Bourdain, you are still the best!

[@razony]

Na. He is a natural at this. He is right at home and that is what shows!

[@MsAmique]

He was definitely just being himself. He didn’t have to try.

Laos is another country, similar to Thailand but a separate country. Isaan in Northern Thailand is the region which borders Laos, separated by the Mekong River. Isaan are ethnically the same, or very similar to Laos people. Isaan and Lao languages are virtually the same, and are different to the standard Bangkok Thai dialect.

I keep commenting on these episodes but dang it he was kind of one of the last of the Mohicans with regards to being a chef with no expectation of media recognition he felt guilty about what recognition he did get he was injured childish filled with rage as chefs throughout history have been .I get cooks looking for jobs now who want to do anything but cook and it grieves me deeply (most of them will never learn the triumph of actual cooking) when I was a line cook in 1997 in NYC Anthony was my inspiration that this was an honest way to make a living he was one of my hero’s when he died he did so tired accomplished and let down by fame .
