OT-Anthony Bourdain

Suicide at 61...

RIP, will be dearly missed.

One of my favourite TV chefs. That beer seemed to be a permanent attachment to his hand.

 

[Old Kogarah Boy 1]

I often watched his show.

He didn’t hold back on anything and seemed to be living life to the fullest.

He never hid his faults and fears, but when we never expected, he succumbed to them.

I wish l had a better understanding of suicide because l never will understand why someone could sink so low, to action it.

The person that needs the most consideration now, is his 12 year old daughter.

Absolutely gutted by this news today OKB. I've been a fan of his for a long time. Been through it twice with male family members. I could see one coming but the second one hit us all for six. One thing I know for sure is that girls tend to talk more about how they feel, whilst men/boys tend to keep things close to their chest and are far more impulsive in their decisions. Bloody sad all round.

Terribly sad. Lived a full life and showed the kindness, empathy and curiosity about others the world needs more of.

Sorry to hear mate...
Gut wrenching illness.

Such an insightful individual. He really could define what was the culture of a place and the nature of its people. Genuine, honest and a person who didn't act in his show, rather he seemed like he was living it. A great loss.

Yes mate... It was more then " food" .. It was a journey.
Unlike most reality shows, Anthony was a breath of fresh air.
He embraced the people / culture / history, yet made it a show about food. I am very fond of him.

 

[Life's Good]

I’m very fortunate to travel for work & Anthony Bourdain encouraged me to get off the well worn tourist path & explore what the cities have to offer. He had the ability to connect with his audience through his show & made it very engaging.
RIP.

Definitely revolutionised food shows, there wasnt this focus on place and culture before his came along
