He lived it, he loved it, there was nothing fake about Anthony. He will be forever missed.

[@Becks23medusa]

Yes, everything yes, 😞

[@FoodXBert]

Yes. He will be missed. I still can't believe he is gone.

[@glenndecker1645]

I miss him. He was excellent. I'm so sad.

[@sheliafrench1276]

Amen & very well said

[@Gucci05xx]

Murdered due to Epstien allegations against his wife. I don't know. Either way he was always a favorite.

[@reniecoffey]

As a child and young teenager I never thought about just how much Anthony Bourdain shaped the way I view not only food, but the world, and life. I didn't grow up watching Disney or Nickelodeon. I grew up on Anthony Bourdain. His death is a deep loss and I wish I would have realized sooner just how much his philosophy matters to me

If you grew up as a kid without cable or satellite I feel like you likely have a connection to both Anthony and Andrew zimmern, they showed me the world. Anthony taught me how to be authentically cool and chic while doing it that you could have a style and art in everything you do that shines though to everyone and Andrew taught me to approach mundane things with the same interest and enthusiasm as an adventure, an often he’d turn something normal and mundane into something great, even if just for a moment

[@mollyjoy7820]

Travel. Eat. Educate.

[@stuartrobertson5062]

I think Bourdains true gift was communication, both in words and beyond words through body language. All of the interactions have a genuine touch to them that so few people can achieve on TV.

[@bambamermitanyo1049]

Empathy, humane, listening

[@TokyoBlue587]

He just genuinely loved and respected people, cuisines and cultures.

[@coastcity7029]

Damn dude it's almost like you don't know he became famous for being an author.

[@landonw7099]

Amen

[@willkursavka]

He's so different in these early episodes, he smiles A LOT more and has a glint in his eye like a child. By the end of Parts Unknown he always looked exhausted and agitated, you could tell the pressure from his fame and his permanent internal struggle always to be a perfectionist whilst being authentic and honest was wearing him down... I loved all his work so much and will always miss him x

[@DjRavine]

Anthony Bourdain not only changed how I view food and culture but ironically, my outlook on life. It felt like I lost a mentor I'd never met

[@benp1559]

There will never be another like him

Right? The voiceover is the best.

[@Wil_Dasovich]

Damn, this is where it all started!

[@venividivixen]

It's incredible watching Tony where he started. He hadn't traveled much until this show and you can see the genuine child-like awe in his face when he's experiencing something for the first time. The later years' suave and swagger hadn't set in by these episodes but he was no less interesting back then.

[@alEE4l]

RIP to the legend. There will never be another. Half man, half rock and roll.

[@VLAD_P_]

Sadly I only started to really follow his videos after he passed away , but their is something so genuine about this man . He was super famous but not a slight bit of arrogance or self importance about him . Seems like he would be a great guy to sit down with , have a cold beer & some great food .. Really sad about his loss :(

[@Itzz_isabell_]

Before all the KZbin food bloggers there was Anthony Bourdain

[@Aegis713]

"I'm ready to die now." Not yet. R.I.P. Tony. Went out on his own terms. Legend.

I'm such a fan, and it's truly sad that Tony is no longer with us. I'm grateful for all the work he's done with the different shows so we cam enjoy and see things thru his perspective 🙏

Bourdain changed my life, and helped me fall in love with cooking. A man I never met, had a huge impact on my life and this is the show that started it. I appreciate him for taking us along with him on his journey.

This show is so wholesome, the type of show that awakens the senses without prejudice or deceit. Anthony Bourdain was honest and real, the transparency with which he represented the places and the people he met was unmatched. I wish more journalists or people in general were more like him these days.

[@ddmau7995]

Too bad he ran into nontransparent democrats

I find it hilarious that his fans that he despised go overboard with their flattering comments about him and act like he was someone to worship!

[@alomon7738]

@@sarcasticallyrearranged i find it really funny how people deliberately missuse the word "hilarious".

[@vaccinatedanti-vaxxer]

This episode is where it all started. This was his first shot at a new career as a tv personality after breakout hit “kitchen confidential”. Chefs in America were not superstars, his book changed all that and this was his shot to prove to the world the hidden value of celebrity chefs. He would never work at a kitchen again once he started this show.

[@Raven844954]

Before Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, there was Anthony Bourdain. Love his voice, witty commentary and the way he helped share the world and its different cultures through the lens.

[@AK-yw9qs]

In my view, he is the greatest storyteller ever, with simple food, simple locations and simple people, everyone can relate to his stories.

[@01maggie]

Isn't this what meals are all about?? Family, friends gathering , sharing delicious food. Anthony brought this into our homes at a time when family meals together were fading away. My favorite time is eating with friends, have some drinks and great conversation!!

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

If you don't have strings holding you down..get yourself out of fast food and into a real restraunt..evenvif you have to start by washing dishes..live simply and learn. Maybe you don't have the luxury of being sent to a chef school but the CIA has a fantastic cookbook...can't afford it..get yourself a library card.....50 years ago I was a young wife,mother working as a prep chef, and on the line...I didn't miss it when I left because I had a garden, a dairy goat, organic fowl nearby .a kitchen I designed for actual cooking/ baking and an audience . But now ..flat on my back I miss all of the hubub....funny thing ...my daughter that I thought could care less about food now runs/ owns a small restraunt/ pub. Good luck to you ...keep learning, keep striving..,and unlike Anthony ..know this..you are enough.

the smile and the nod at 16:50 after lighting the sumo boss's cigarette. Can't imagine how good that must've felt for a young Bourdain. he's feeling like the coolest guy in the world

[@paulabaker8403]

Tony Bourdain was allowed into experiencing culture that few have ever known about. Anthony knew how privileged he was and he showed it in respect and honour. I am so happy he brought us along. I fibd it still, so difficult to accept the fact that he took his own life. It doesn't make sense especially when he had a 9 year old daughter at home a a new love. Whatever happened, I will always love Anthony Bourdain. ❤❤

[@Widderic]

He inspired me to go to Japan in 2017. I made the same face when trying sushi over there. I laughed, I cried, it was like being high for the first time. I can't find good sushi anymore so I have to go back.
