Anthony Bourdain Talks “Raw Crafts,” Trump, Obama & Harassment In Restaurant Industry

Anthony Bourdain joined Jim Braude to talk about his new series The Balvenie’s Raw Craft, the opioid crisis and harassment in the restaurant business.

[@robert.berner6760]

Such a cool, well informed, and street smart guy. His abscence hurts.

[@jeffsadowski7759]

Probably my two of my favorite entertainment journalists ever, regardless if we differ on a few topics...As a sociologist a dream day would be to have lunch with Jim, and with Anthony we'll have to wait until another lifetime. So sad. Good to see them together here...Salute gentlemen.

[@tootsla1252]

Anthony, you will be greatly missed. May you rest in peace. So sad.

[@lronbutters5688]

It’s really awesome to have so many videos books tv with Tony! He lives on through us ❤️♾ Bourdain

[@UllahMohd]

You will be missed, A Bourdain! RIP, my man!

[@nicoleproside4266]

My heart just aches every time I see a picture of you Tony or when I remember you are no longer here.

[@trythinkingforachange4201]

He nailed Trumps ignorance as far as food is concerned.

[@danielj233]

Try Thinking For a change Bourdain liked burgers himself

[@elbob248]

You're a dumbass. Not trying to be mean. Just stating an undeniable fact.@@danielj233

[@graceantonio3573]

Sigh... such a mystery why... such a loss of a very authentic man of fascinating character.

[@Xtina3815]

RIP Tony Bourdain.. We will miss you.

[@ericmack9593]

Even though you are gone Tony, know that you did create things that will last forever. Your shows and your prose I firmly believe will live on for hundreds of years. Generations later will revel in your works like we do for Poe of Wilde or the countless others that are gone but still impact our lives. In this sense, you have now become immortal.

[@walterholder6077]

Never met the man...the pain of his absence to me tho is substantial. Why must we continue to endure the loss of the good ones? Can they not abide with us in this savage thing we call life? I wish I knew the answer.

[@scottbrown3240]

If only he had hung around a bit longer, he could've said, "See! I f*****g told you so!!! A RECKONING!"

[@jpweidemoyer8544]

RIP Tony. You’re greatly missed.

[@alanmeyer2699]

"Stabby over the holidays" lol

[@darrellscott8939]

As much as he loved his daughter and no drugs in his system, I wonder what drove him to end it? Was it debt, heartbreak, or mental illness? We may never know.He will always be someone that I respect and be mad at.

[@laza_mma1052]

Probably just depression, he talked about it a lot, as he did about suicide. It just sucks.

[@tcabra3597]

I like this interviewer because I think he's intelligent and well-thought-out. Just sorry that I didn't see it and it's original date of airing

[@lunabird89]

I don’t agree with this. View on politics but I respect him. Dam to think he’s no longer with us is crazy !

[@TV-jl8oe]

Do you know what, Anthony.?? you have so many people waiting for you to come in their regions, and talk together/share with you. I was one of them..here in Korea. Why... You know what are things we can preserve................and hold of them..........why gone? Can't believe it.. Rest in peace wherever you are...peace.

[@brianr797]

How’s it hanging

[@laurieschnayder8446]

This guy was very unique and makes me sad he left his young daughter orphan ! It's hard to understand the human suicidal mind .

[@northernwoman8960]

ROSARIO ELENA Mr Bourdain’s daughter is not an orphan as she has her mother.

[@trythinkingforachange4201]

You didn't walk in his shoes so STFU

[@guruuDev]

He was murdered by the deep state for making bold Truth Movement statements on line against Mossad, Kissinger, and HRC.

[@aeonjoey3d]

Stunt Turkey is the best idea ever!

[@HighOnAmmo]

cant help but think Jim here asked for his number and dinner after this interview. This guy loves anthony so much haha...fair tho I would probably too if i shared so many commonalities.

[@jeffsadowski7759]

Ahem. Probably two of my favorite etc...Trying to write perfect grammar (and I am a writer) after 1215 am is not something I would ever recommend doing! Again, nice job guys:)

[@davidmdyer838]

I used to live in Southbridge!

[@shannon8205]

David Dyer I love the enthusiasm with which you shared that! Lol...I'm from Worcester!

[@davidmdyer838]

Wistah, huh? I love Mass., I've lived in Boston too. I live in Toledo now, which is a nice town, but I'd much rather be in Boston. I just can't afford it. Southbridge I could probably afford, and it's full of Puerto Ricans where I used to live, so I connected up with them too. But alas, I couldn't find enough work there. Last time I went through I noticed Big Bunny was greatly upgraded.

[@laza_mma1052]

Depression is a MOTHERFUCKER , rest in piece you legend.

[@sandspar]

Am I the only one who feels like he is telling my story? Dammit, Bourdain; WTF??? You could have stayed at our house. LUV ya MAN !!!

[@johngallagher2554]

R.I.P.

[@antoniochiappetta4833]

Although I don't agree with Anthony politically, I have the upmost respect for him. Especially after watching this.

[@user-jv9qz2bu1r]

my position too

[@StPeteG8r]

Very well stated, I could not agree more! The way that I look at it is, those who constantly follow the pack constantly step in crap. He was his own man he rolled his own way and I respected him for that. He spoke his mind unfiltered. You knew where you stood with him which is a rare commodity nowadays, everyone is so two-faced and walk on eggshells to keep from hurting anybody's overly sensitive feelings. Anthony Bourdain spoke Straight From the Heart unfiltered and I loved him for it.

[@musicsponge7420]

@6:44 Although talking about the hospitality industry, AB goes on to give an analogy of the movie industry. Who is he actually referring to??? This guy was just too switch-on and interested in such a wide variety of endeavours with a thirst for knowledge and adventure to have taken himself out. Hope the truth is eventually revealed of his demise. R.I.P.

[@melofacertainage]

The Trump curse strikes again! RIP Sir!

[@julie4evert490]

Let me get this straight..Bourdain asked Obama if it was okay with him if he spoke to Nugent? Wow!!

[@69shakti]

That’s a brand no one wants to be associated with Tony!!

[@MK-pt9zt]

Did he actually say he asked Obama if it's OK that he talk to Ted Nugent? Omg, that's wrong on so many levels. He's a grown man ...well, maybe he didn't think of himself as a grown man. Sad.

[@tomlewis5542]

Mah Kost ahhh Mah ma man.. you got much research to do this pack runs together

[@ericblair8821]

Clear indication a life time of PC can drive you to suicide.

[@fistsup5700]

Eric Blair. You're a clear indication of everything wrong with the world today

[@ericblair8821]

I love intolerant bastards who know it all like yourself, anger issues fella?

[@brendabullard8246]

@@ericblair8821 what is so sad is that this man did a good job of hiding how depressed he was from everyone. No one knew him well enough. He called himself a "self-hating jew"!

[@julie4evert490]

I bet if Anthony saw Hillary eating a hamburger this wouldn't even been brought up. Telling someone what they should be eating when visiting another Country? That's not his decision to make. Would he make his little daughter eat something she didn't want to? This guy wasn't right.

[@JeremyGalloway]

julia E Nah, he has criticized her plenty. And he never said he feeds his daughter things she doesn’t like. Stop polarizing everything.

[@julie4evert490]

lol @ polarizing

[@Whodaleewho]

A.B. great chef and t.v. personality. But his politics sucks. KAG 2020

[@dbrown6941]

"Stunt Turkey". Says it all . And you doomed your daughter to a lifetime of pain and self-doubt. Well done.
