Cisse Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Tv chef Anthony Bourdain has died. He was 61. He commited a suicide while filming his series. This one really hurts. I liked the guy because he appreciated good food regardless of origin. You could serve him fine dining or street food and if it was made with passion and proper ingredients he valued it high. No posh nonsense when it wasn't required. Funny guy too. I will miss his programs. R.I.P. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaspode Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Not someone I'm familiar with (don't tend to watch cooking programmes), but just seen this quote from him: “I should’ve died in my 20s. I became successful in my 40s. I became a dad in my 50s. I feel like I’ve stolen a car –a really nice car– and I keep looking in the rearview mirror for flashing lights. But there’s been nothing yet” Very sad, but it would appear not completely unexpected if he'd been suffering such insecurities for so many years - RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was as funny as f and he was a great interviewer. He was also incredibly intelligent, a warm human being and so down to earth. I'm totally bummed.

JoetheRam Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Proper shocker to me. First news of anyone going since Gandolfini that made me say "no way" out loud when I heard. As you say Cisse, he was a proper food hero. Didn't matter if it was a $10 or $100 meal, if he found a quality in it he liked he'd make it known. Given his past abuses seems like he was lucky to make it to 61, but not to go out like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 How big was he? Only this big, that the Prez would sit down in a bar in Korea and have a beer with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been reading comments by fellow coutrymen and people mourne him like he was family. And we Finns are not known for being emotional over strangers. (Or the family.)
