Anthony Bourdain - Telling Stories Through Food on “Parts Unknown” | The Daily Show

[@AsepTravels]

When I was in middle school and high school I used to watch his shows and learn so much about the world that school could never teach me. I used to sit there and get a little depressed wondering as just a poor Burmese immigrant, if I would ever able to travel to all these places one day too. Years later, I’ve been very lucky to be able to travel to 23 countries now. This summer I went to the restaurant he and Obama ate at in Hanoi and I started crying tears of joy. It was one of those rare moments in life where I felt like “I made it.” I dreamed of moments like that and I’m finally traveling to beautiful places and trying so many delicious foods and meeting so many genuinely nice people. I’m so thankful for him for showing us the world and connecting us to different cultures through food. I’m sure there are millions of other travelers who were inspired by this great man. I hope he finally found his peace.

[@Alliebaba7782]

Thank you for sharing. You are a beautiful soul.

[@calbastian]

Well said.

[@shakenabrown667]

Beautifully said... Anthony Bourdain was special indeed. I look to go to one of the places he's been and just reflect on him. May he RIP

Beautiful, my friend! Life is a journey, and a great meal is the first to start your journey!

[@ricardocorreia7962]

A really great guy. A genius? Nothing like it

[@YZ450f24]

Throwing around the word genius because that was the first word that popped into your brain and you're too lazy to bother thinking a little harder...

[@seunolanrewaju9188]

RIP Anthony. I am a Nigerian and I appreciate the fact that you thought highly of my country and Africa as a whole. RIP

[@joshythehand2960]

And that was where he wanted to visit the most. Growing up the book "heart of darkness" was hos favorite book in the world. About a westerners trip deep.into Africa. He said he looked for to visiting various countries in Africa more than another place

[@selcouth86]

Not only thoughtful and well-spoken but outspoken and unapologetically honest when speaking his mind. Anthony Bourdain. The polar opposite of POTUS. The embodiment of what it means to be a citizen of the world. An international treasure.

[@ptvm]

Can’t agree more

[@cornelisverhoef9282]

You said that very well...

[@kodjojj]

[@danielleeriksson7065]

“Keep ‘em guessing til it’s too late” lol I love it. Anthony seems like he was a great person, intelligent, compassionate, talented and funny. I feel like the world is one good person short now. Depression is a scary thing.. Rest In Peace

[@namisanjo2794]

“Often the brightest souls are the most lonely.” I’ve been a fan of Anthony Bourdain for years. His battle was something he never hid. A truly amazing soul that we should never stop learning from. Rest easy Anthony.❤️🤘

[@subygurl924]

What a huge loss. I was familiar with him speaking up for restaurant workers, and admired how he acclimated to so many cultures with such ease. I never realized how thoughtful a person he was until Me Too. He was definitely on the right side of history. It's always the good ones.😢

[@UltimateTheReject]

Suby Gurl its unfortunate thats its the good ones, the people with empathy and compassion, that tend to kill themselves. I dont think its a coincidence that suicide rates have been rising.

[@RingoYote]

he had clinical depression, it got to him

[@infinitedragonbellyx.x]

Yea,people like Chester, Bourdain and Walker are gone. But we still have Mcconnal, Trump and Kim Jon Un. The world is insanely cruel and unfair.

[@j.m.imanamayra674]

I wish depression didn't exist. It has taken too many good people, and I'm afraid it will continue to claim more lives. But it's a privilege to know someone like Anthony existed. Someone who lived so much, it drives you crazy realizing he's not alive anymore. May you be at peace, Anthony. You deserve it.

[@Nicole73672]

We need to improve the overall morale of our individual environments to truly combat depression. Raise up the spirits of the local communities. Promote local businesses, volunteer, join a club, adopt a rescued pet, donate to charity... So many examples; but yet all that can seem so daunting. (David Bowie's 'pressure' comes to mind.) With such small pockets of people that are able to help,(amazing to even have "extra" time) to be so civically engaged. And then you have the "other" types of people, that basically add to the "stuff" you should all warn your children to stay away from! The dark, disturbing, & harmful things that lurk seemingly everywhere, that suck good people toward the abyss of many agonies. I think depression stems from mostly external influence; negative exposures combined with overbearing weight of sadnesses & unresolve. As for Mr. Anthony Bourdain I have no guesses as to why he did what he did. It breaks many hearts all the same. I hope he is in a better place.

[@custos3249]

Be not afraid, for it will take more lives, not because it does on its own, but because we allow it, often blaming the person, projecting our own selfishness to rationalize away that we could have made the difference but didn't.

[@DebonairOfTheWind]

Agreed

[@ladyyankeerebel3067]

The Clinton's kill him!!!! Never forget!

[@Zeratul187]

My heart sinks when I think about him ....... Why??? ......I wish I there to help him in any way I could ...... RIP

[@benwasserman8223]

Rest in Peace Mr. Bourdain. The world will miss good men like you

[@comicnerd420]

Ben Wasserman he left his 11 year old. And wasn't a very outstanding father sadly.

[@josecolon7267]

If there is an afterlife, their food just got awesome. RIP Anthony :(

[@kbd13-n9c]

He probably would have killed himself before now if not for that little girl. Maybe get educated about depression. My dad went out the same way, when I was 15, and I don't hold a grudge against him because I always struggled with depression too (before that happened even) so I understand it's a tremendously hard thing.

[@JordonHouston92]

Suicide sometimes it's just unavoidable for some people. A troubled mind can't always be worked around, don't judge a man that you did not know

[@meganschmidt548]

Dylan Bratisax Ever think the depression played a role in that? It's hard to keep close relationships when your head is all fucked up.

[@EntropysSmile]

The impact of his passing has had widespread and intense impressions on my industry as a Traveling Bartender. Many in the hospitality industry have been influenced by his work and his spirit. He will forever be in the halls of hero's for many of us. May we all aspire to carry on his fight for equality and hold that adventurous and enthusiasm in our actions and our hearts. These next words pale to express the ideal fully but must be said. Thank you Anthony!

[@IamGodSon]

he inspired me to not judge a people until you taste their plate and struggles. missed him. thanks for the show on lagos

[@TheBeanie2k]

I miss this man. He took me on so many journeys that I would never do in my lifetime... Places I would never see, foods I would never taste. But it was a great journey... I wish we could of had many many more years of this. No one can ever replace him... Love this guy honestly... RIP hope you found whatever peace it was that you were looking for.... God Bless...

Depression is a horrible disease and, unfortunately, a very intimate and private one. I've been battling it daily for over a decade and still, there's not a lot of people I feel I can trust with this part of my life. The truth is, until we collectively get out of our comfort zones and talk openly about mental health - without stigma or prejudice - we'll keep seeing more and more tragic cases like Mr. Bourdain's. May he rest in peace...

[@yeflynne]

He was murdered and framed for suicide

Robin Williams, Chester Bennigton, Anthony Bourdain, these are only 3 names of the many many people who were perfect on the surface, they bluffed with ease, hid their pain so well and made us blv that nothing was wrong all was right with the world but it wasn't so, and we somehow collectively failed and still fail every time someone gives up on themselves

[@VardhanShrivastava]

Jaq Tweedie it's a collective thing, not myself or any other person but all of us a community and culture, if we aren't able to make the good ones stay, what are we doing? Are we collectively ignoring signs? Should we be more welcoming of people who want to share or just want an ear to talk to? I am just saying, we should all keep an eye out for each other may be just that much will help...

[@TheDidib92]

May their souls rest in peace. Depression is the devil playing mind games.They chose to believe the lies the devil told them that life is not worth living, that their loved ones are better off without them. If only they just believed how truly loved and admired they were, and how much they are wanted around they might still be here!!!!

[@TheDidib92]

AlexMcNugget-Ravioli I recently bought a Kate Spade slippers and wondered to myself why someone so obviously talented would not believe she is loved and admired and wanted? Depression is truly an evil disease.

It pains me so much because he was so a part of the current world's climate and had such beautiful ideas and had such a beautiful soul. The good side lost a a great soldier. Unfortunately that is a possible outcome for knowing the darkness in this world. I just wish he stayed and kept fighting with us and for himself. I hate that we lost such an amazing human being.

[@TheNinnyfee]

"Curiosity is a virtue". Thank you so much, Anthony Bourdain. And as a woman I will always be thankful for you questioning your perspective regarding the abuse of women and reflecting so openly on female friends not confiding in you. That is so rare and really huge for every woman watching this, especially female abuse survivors. And I know you aren't here any longer, but thank so so much!

Same here. Listening to him mention Asia, I feel like wow. He was so turned outward, putting the spotlight on friends and others or sharing his insights on the world with the world, but we never caught on to his struggle. He was more sensitive and pained than the words let on. Sometimes we have to listen with eyes ears and gut.

[@EllenLMT]

The definition of raw, honest, and healthy masculinity without any of the hypermasculine, frat-boy, toxic shit.

[@BlakieTT]

... I'm 3 mins in to the video and I feel so conflicted. One part of me thinks "why are you showing me this guy who's gone, now? It's painful" - but then again I do know why: to honor him and see his perspective/brilliance in his own right. I think "wow it's so great to see Anthony again!" and at the same time, sadness because he's no longer here. I watched him for years on the travel channel - it was such a random thing to me, but I was hooked. Now I'll never get to meet him... Rest in peace, Anthony. Thank you for your work.

[@dnd161991]

I'd hoped when I saw this that I entered an alternate universe in which Bourdain was still alive and doing interviews. Then I saw the comment section and was reminded of my bleak reality.

[@EmmaSElisabet]

You are far from alone feeling that way. I feel that way too. Every, single, time, I cook.

[@emilyforcade2995]

Yes, Rest In Peace. I watched Mr Bourdain’s show Parts Unknown because of my son who recognizes what I might like but don’t know about. So I’ve watched episodes with him and learned many things about the state of countries and the people who live in them. Some from these shows in which Mr Bourdain is a respectful participant/observer and much from my son, also respectful and knowledgeable. So Mr Bourdain touched the lives of people who watched these shows in ways he might not have known. I saw he could be critical of himself in the programs, mostly hidden by a manner that suggested confidence. He had already tragically died before I watched any of his shows, so I was always aware of that as I watched him, as though I would see traces of an explanation, even knowing that that will not be possible to find.

[@AK907guy]

A true inspiration, rest in peace Tony

[@ivonedefigueiredo9301]

Thank you, Trevor, for getting this on KZbin. I missed it. I thought I watched everything but this somehow, slipped through. I have admired this man, Anthony Bourdain, forever, it seems, before he went to “parts unknown”. It was like I had met him before, the first time I watched a show with him. I am saddened, as I am sure many other admirers are, about his suicide. The people who feel the most, those who have the most passion and emotion, those that love the deepest, be it people or their craft, often times are the ones that lose hope in humanity’s failures. Both you and I know that you are not gone, no-one ever is, but it is sad that the vessel you inhabited has passed. My heart hurts. See you around, Anthony Bourdain.

He became a gift to all of us in what he was doing and who he was...a flawed and scarred person...as we all are...giving us so much and teaching us so much about the world. A way for all of us to see the world and experience the world...ans LEARN about what is outside of our window...our town...our country. Why did he not see how much he mattered and the good he was doing...maybe that just is not enough in the end. This is coming from a Social Studies teacher who literally quoted Anthony Bourdain to his students numerous times. As he said...don't be a tourist...be a traveler...get out and see and experience the world...even if it's just your oqn corner of it. Love you Tony...crusty bastard...

Funny thing is that I never knew anything about him until 7 years ago - I never watch 'reality' tv, and as an old cook the celebrity chefs do not interest me at all. As I was leaving the US for my retirement, my sister-in-law gave me a copy of Kitchen Confidential to read on the plane, and I read my youth in his book. Upon arriving in my new country I watched everything of Anthony's I could find. I absolutely adored him. His death is the only celebrity death that ever affected me at all.
