This was the best Jimmy Fallon video, as Jimmy Fallon wasn't in it

[@johncopple6479]

HA ! Priceless!

[@suzannefarrington4143]

I mostly like only his True Confessions segment, because there is some information communicated. You actually learn something about the guests, not just that they’re willing to play stupid games.

[@mammontustado9680]

Yessss! I wish we could trade off Fallon and get Bourdain back

The man had problems in his life man, may he rest in peace

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Look at the legacy this man has left all of us. Gone 2.5 years now, but people will still watch his shows, read his books and search for his interviews. Ten, twenty, even thirty years from now people will still be learning from his work and be able to appreciate him. That he touched so many lives on a global level is a epic tribute to his legacy that we all get to share. You were the best!

[@Cynnas]

Born and raised in California. As a child through the 70-80's we always had avocados; cut in half eaten with a little citrus and salt and put them on a lot of things even toast. This whole avocado toast trend is pretty funny.

[@serialbets]

Real talk I worked at a restaurant that made Kobe Sliders with truffle oil aioli ontop, LOL he would have loved that

[@korbindallas8224]

[@1g2g3generation]

There's little burger places throughout L.A. that advertise "true" kobe beef burgers and use truffle oil. Theyre always overly expensive and small portions. Umami Burger i believe does this shit.

He is not a snob. He is actually calling out the pretentious bullshit people buy into. He knows his stuff too. Did you even comprehend what he said? Lol

[@RockBandRS]

I loved his show "No Reservations"!

[@areitz1962]

Pretty sure Bourdain is the very definition of pretentious.

[@zyxwut321]

I had a friend like Anthony Bourdain in my 20s. He was a rich young lawyer who fancied himself a food and culture snob and he was pretty bright and well read and traveled around to all these seemingly exotic places like Colombia, Brazil, Russia, Iceland and had all these "most interesting man in the world" stories. He also drank like a fish, secretly solicited high end hookers and was a secret pill popper and his shtick rang more and more shallow the older I got. Eventually he got fired from his law firm for missing work and entered rehab and I haven't heard from him in several years. Bourdain is a young man's version of an urban sophisticate until you grow up and realize he's full of shit and a ridiculous social striving poser.

[@ralphalessandra2604]

RIP Anthony Bourdain. It's still hard to believe you are gone forever.

[@coreyochai8054]

[@moonlighter6]

I personally always appreciate Anthony's culinary wisdom.

[@xaviercampbell8559]

I worked in a kitchen truffle oil is pretty much a cheap way of trying to "fancy" up a dish. Some cook really take it to far.

[@raphaelalexander3692]

Professor X I like the taste.

[@xaviercampbell8559]

It adds a smell imo more than a taste but I should be used sparingly. It is also like restaurants that like to throw caviar on things. .

[@TheAgentAssassin]

We put it on popcorn with a white cheese. Really tasty We also put it on fries Guests love it

[@mattadrian18]

Professor X it's the same stuff they use to make perfume I think.. Ughh

[@pokershadow373]

[@evelynyu88]

Has anyone ever watched his show Kitchen Confidential? Got cancelled because it was released during the "reality cooking shows" craze so there was no interest in a food-centric sitcom. The show is loosely based off Bourdain's life and there's a brunch episode that explains his hatred for it. It's friggin awesome. lol

[@watchreport]

Lynn Y I adored that show. And it started a young Bradley Cooper. It was funny, had elements of realism in kitchen life and yet over the top as well. I think had it come out 10 years later it would have been more popular. But even then, it is still very niché as most people do not get the chefs life and think most is fabricated for tv. Chef and Burnt were good movies (burnt was far better) but most people didn't love them.

[@wyatthicks16]

Haha brunch, solid

[@katevielle4263]

Lynn Y It would probably be more successful now, the production would be probably amazing!

[@joegoh1968]

Truffle oil .. not even food! I missed him already. I grew to like Anthony because he is so down to earth and real. A great chef is one who makes great food with simple ingredients!

[@vandaangellozzi1990]

[@TheDenisedrake]

Only Anthony Bourdain could pretentiously brow-beat the pretentious.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

I used to like him when he first started out , he seemed rather sincere and curious. Now he sounds like a snob , he needs to come back to earth.

[@TheAgentAssassin]

Nah , he's a snob now . He'll visit a town with 100 breweries and order a bud lite out of spite. He's become a snob IMO and badmouths other chefs. I've been in the food industry for 30 years from Hawaii to Florida. I used to be a huge fan , but not anymore. he talks of food purity and freshness ,buying local etc. but orders a bud lite instead of 100s of well made home brews made by local people in town , literally a tap five feet from where he's sitting and he orders watered down piss beer He can fuck off for all I care.

[@ADMcAllister]

[@TheDenisedrake]

Woops! This comment definitely turned into a troll-type. I was trying to say "...only Anthony Bourdain could pull off those comments..." Sorry for the irritation Andrew.

[@mikeevansgutierrezcasanas6234]

TheDenisedrake I got it the first time... And you're damn right... Anthony Bourdain is awesome... No reservations and no Bull shit either.

[@Imajin]

I'm all for what he said about that kobe beef slider!

[@TheHilltopperNation]

GypsyRose Ding Grinding up Kobe beef into ground beef for anything is sacrilege

[@Tzadeck]

There's no Kobe beef in Kobe beef sliders. Only a minuscule amount of Kobe beef actually makes it to the US, and you've probably never had it. That labeling is either completely false, or refers to American beef that has vague lineage to Kobe cows. On the other hand, I live in Kyoto and I can get a tiny Kobe steak for like 30 bucks at the supermarket down the street. Eat your heart out.

[@gandaruvu]

Tzardeck it doesn't even matter whether it's real kobe or not. When you grind the beef, it's just ground beef. You can add more fat into the mixture to reach a similar fat content with wagyu beef and you won't know the difference because it's all been grounded anyway.

[@jshshh1041]

The idea of using genuine kobe beef for anything other than a steak is horrifying. It's like the most pure beef on the planet. Why would you grind it up and compromise it's taste by putting it between to buns? When you eat real kobe beef, there shouldn't be any other flavor, especially a carbohydrate, to contaminate it. It's evil

[@Tzadeck]

Actually, Kobe beef is commonly eaten in a variety of ways. In Japan there are a bunch of famous beef types that pretty much taste the same (the three most famous being beef from Kobe, Shiga, and Mie). In Japan it's popular to serve them in dishes like sukiyaki, shabu shabu, and nikujaga, or some other dishes where you can experience the flavor pretty directly. Steak is not a traditional dish in Japan, so it's not seen as 'the' way to serve beef. I'm also not really sure that personally I prefer it as steak--Kobe beef is so fatty that I think it really works well in dishes where the beef is sliced very thinly; so, sukiyaki and shabu shabu. Also, the idea of Kobe Beef being the best of the three is largely a western idea--most of the time they're clumped together in Japan and just called 'wagyu.' Also, it's not like every part of the cow can even be served as steak.

[@FlagshipHistory]

RIP Anthony Bourdain

[@V12carlover]

i was hoping he would talk about the idiotic trend of incorporating sriracha sauce into absolutely everything these days

[@jamesanderson6373]

Comfortably Dumb preach

[@justinbinns3016]

I mean like... I do like Sriracha tho

[@mattkoethe6691]

That might be because it's become the next fad that's cheap and easy to execute. It's usually a good sign that chains are digging deep to target millennials (ugh... that's a sour word to say). Truffle oil is its more cultured college junior brother who likes a "nice meal with the locals in a quaint hill country village every now and again."

[@kevinfischer2924]

Sriracha = weak ass ketchup. If you're going for hot sauce, actually get some damn hot sauce.

[@lepetitchat123]

I love sirracha sauce. it really goes with eevrything

Yeah, I agree on the kobe slider thing. Why the fuck do you take one of the finest pieces of beef and mince it.. I mean WTF... you loose marble you loose texture you loose everything that makes that beef so revered and tasty just to turn it into a ball or patty you can make better with a blend of cuts and fat percentages. Even the less prime cuts on a kobe cow you should treat like whole or segmented pieces. Not minced...

[@slimkhalifa766]

Ryan Davies that’s because it ain’t real Kobe beef. Only a small percent of Kobe beef actually gets exported out of Japan. And the small percent that does leave Japan is expensive as hell.
