I‘ve been a fan of Bourdain‘s since “Kitchen Confidential.” Of course, he is most definitely a figure whom one loves or hates. I think at the end he had mostly come about enough to get rid of some of his earlier, snarkier, and just downright mean behavior. I don‘t know. I only know that I loved him and was truly heartbroken when he died. Perhaps it has more to do with the manner of his death.... Anyway, none ⬇️

This came in the mail yesterday and I read it yesterday. Totally off my brand as I normally keep a book at least a year before cracking it open.

5 stars. This book was a trip down memory lane. I remembered a lot of the episodes while reading this very picturesque book. He writes til the very last page with wit and humor. Im still very sad a great man like him is gone, but his memories will last forever. RIP Mr. Bourdain.

Great read to go along with rewatching his shows. Still so sad....

Because my heart still hurts.....

A little reading before bed. My coworker found this gem for me about a month ago and in the wake of Anthony Bourdain‘s death, I find myself pouring over it again and again. I‘m also reading A Cooks Tour on the kindle.

Saw this picture on the Jim Harrison Author Page on FB, paired with Harrison‘s pen “Hard Times, “ and got a little teary eyed. You can see it here:

Currently watching while I draw and quite sad this is being taken off Netflix soon.

Quite sad in general, honestly.

When you order dinner in honor of someone you‘ve never met...

“When someone feeds you, they‘re saying something, they are telling you something about themselves.”

This news broke my heart today. I admire Anthony Bourdain so much for his writing and cooking and his ability to connect with people. He has changed not only how I travel, but how I think of myself and my work in the food service industry.

We‘ll miss you, Tony.

The crushing news of another amazing and wonderful life lost to suicide is gut-wrenching for me. I can honestly say my life was made more complete by the work this man did on the planet. He was grumpy and passionate and a complicated humanitarian. #RIP #AnthonyBourdain

“Maybe that‘s enlightenment enough: to know that there is no final resting place of the mind; no moment of smug clarity. Perhaps wisdom is...realizing how small I am, and unwise, and how far I have yet to go.” — A. Bourdain. **Saddened to hear about the loss of this brilliant human and writer. No Reservations was one of the first biographies I ever read and made me realize that I actually liked bios! Or maybe I just liked Bourdain‘s dry humor. RIP

“As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks — on your body or on your heart — are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.” #anthonybourdain

Anthony Bourdain‘s tv show No Reservations helped me through a very isolating time in my life and made me excited for the future for when I could start having my own travel adventures and try unique, delicious foods. He was such a talented writer too, and I‘d recommend getting his books on audio bc his narration is superb. Honestly, I‘m not taking this news very well. I hope Anthony‘s at peace, but wish he was still here. Be kind to each other.

R.I.P.

Thank you for all of the wonderful adventures that you have taken me on, both through your writing and shows. You‘ve opened my mind and palate to new foods, cultures, and places. I am grateful that in some way I got to experience your adventures with you. 😢💔

Heartbroken. Absolutely heartbroken. What a horrible loss the world has suffered.

Oh man. While I‘ve never met him I watched him for years on No Reservations and then followed him through his other shows. I am so sadden by this news. 😢

My heart goes out to his family and friends.

So very sad to hear this news 😢

Say it ain‘t so.......
RIP friend 🙏🏽

You know you‘re loved when your favorite coworker snags this for you out of the free book box at 2nd and Charles 😍😍😍😍😍

It has been a long week for me, between my husband being out of town and me starting a new job.

I also read this book, which reinforced my decision to take a part time job in a kitchen doing mostly prep work. It pays badly, the people are crazy (in the best way) and the hours suck, but people who provide food for others are my people.

I haven‘t forgotten my giveaway promise, I‘ve just been too caught up in life-I will post it soon!

Saw this on Facebook and it's just too funny not to share.. 👏🏻
