Love you Anthony Bourdain... you brought me places I will never get to go in person. My favorite show was when you sat with a family in Iran, that changes my understanding of the world. Thank you for all you gave us!!!!💗
This news brought me very deep sadness I’m from Iran and I love the what he have done , he showed different side of Normal people’s life around the world.he was a great guy we will miss him sadly!! But our question remains Unanswered why? someone like him his life cut short !!
Summer Sanchez he did something so wonderful in that Iran episode. In those Episodes where he showed humanity vast and loving, despite what some may say. His work will always be remembered and missed.
interesting fact about that episode, cnn has done virtually no reruns of that episode whereas all other episodes keep getting rebroadcasted on the weekends. now this is a bit conspiratorial on my part but not that far fetched either: the establishment, of which cnn is a part of, doesnt want you to think of iran as place where any normal looking or happy people live they need you think of iran as a hell hole where women are treated like dogs so that if they ever launch a war they can justify it and ABs episode in iran didnt help them paint the picture they want.
I never actually met him, but I feel I knew him. I've traveled the world with him within the walls of my living room. Ate supper with him nearly every night. My 6 yr. Old daughter loves him too. I have still not had the heart to tell her that he passed away. Not only because I know she will be heart broken, but also we are healing from one of my best friends also passing this year. 2018 was a bad year for us. But mainly so she can still enjoy him, the way I used to. Now I watch him and it deeply saddens me to know that he is no longer with us. I never met you, but I feel I knew you and you took me places and taught me things I would never be able to go and do on my own. I pray you are at peace now Anthony Bourdain. When I eat pork and drink I will think of you.
so sweet Samantha, watery eyes that gave me, thank you, you got it when you said you felt like you knew him, boy so many people would have loved to have known him, he maybe didn't know what he had...
I went to Montreal shortly after his death. As a fan of his writing and work, I ordered Poutine. It didn't appeal to me, but I owed it to him to try it. Any time I go to a really good restaurant or a country I haven't visited before, I eat something I have never had. Thanks Tony.
I will never get over this. He once said “Travel changes you. 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.” And you, Tony, you left a huge mark and impact on my life. Thank you.
Anthony was a philosopher. Through and through. He was able to take such a simple thing like food and expand it’s meaning past the ability to eat. It’s hard to accept his death, but it was beautiful to see how many adventures he was able to take. Anthony, you’re no longer exploring this world, you’re now exploring another. Rest easy bourdain. We love you.
Eh philosopher blah blah blah , coward more like it. Had he hung himself from his single wife trailer while evading the IRS and other debt collectors I'd have more sympathy for him. Instead he hung hi.self from his luxury 5 star hotel room in fucking France of all places all the while he was clearing 100k per episode while doing the best most fulfilling job on the face of the planet. But sure he was a "philosopher"
He’s among a small handful of people who’s opinions I’d absolutely love to hear right now, considering the state of the world. He was a phenomenal storyteller, and as someone who shares his first name, but not a hair of his talent, I miss him terribly. RIP Mr Bourdain.
S B yea he's a coward, we all have demons it's just for us not to be afraid of them that gives us bravery, he was afraid of his demons and therefore he is coward
It's sad, No Reservations got me through a terrible divorce and depression. He took me around the world and got my mind off of my troubles. RIP Anthony.
StylistNtraining His soothing voice in the background as the TV was on. I had a traumatic surgery and had lost my mind as the pain ripped me apart but his beautiful voice.... his beautiful voice. 😢
No Reservations was the one show each week that my ex-husband and I would sit together and watch. I remember him saying, "You got five minutes, grab the snacks!" because the show would always make us hungry. Then we would hunker down to see where Anthony would take us that week. It's one of the best memories I have from my marriage.
Beth Grogan haha on the 5 minutes to get the snacks. I'll have to remember that when watching food- related shows. 😃 Thanks for the laughs. And may you find and discover new memories in your life as you endeavor to move forward and live it!!!! 🎉🎊🍨🍧🎂🍕👌👑
StylistNtraning, did your 8 year old boy bride get a big settlement from you? Bordain was the biggest arrogant asshole in the world. You must have about a zero IQ if Anthony Bordello got your mind off of your troubles. Toodles sweetie pie.....
I found out as soon as I woke up and burst into tears and cried all day. My father committed suicide and I was the one to find him. Eventually I became a Chef before becoming a stay at home mom. Anthony and Sean Brock are my absolute favorite chefs. I tried to stop crying but couldn’t and went a head and make breakfast for my husband and I and cried while eating too. Cooking has always been my number 1 love. Anthony was an inspiration to many. So honest. So loving. Always willing to listen. Taking people all over the world to see new places they wouldn’t of seen or food they would of never heard of if not for his show. My heart breaks for his family and his daughter. May he forever be in peace now. You were so loved and will be missed by many. 😭😭😭
DatYamaha450 JusGoinHam wow whata pathetic person you are. You don't understand hardship and how what happend to her in the past could've triggered this. So shut the fuck up with your ignorance and go live your spoiled life. Ignorance is what's wrong with this world people who have never felt hardships or trauma don't understand it so they tell others to suck it up. Its pathetic .I feel bad for your inability to feel empathy
I don't cry over celebrity deaths, but this one still hurts. One of the greatest story tellers of our times and someone that so many people can relate to. It's easy to see him as a friend even though I never had the chance to meet him. Still devistating to think of
I agree with you about not crying over celebrity deaths, but when Anthony died I felt as if a good friend had died, even when I never met him in person, I hope wherever he is he knows that there are many people who loved him and miss him.
No one really knows what is really going on inside someone the struggles, the pain, the hopelessness that people carry within themselves. Life deals you a hand of cards (good with the bad) - you either play that hand out until a natural end or you choose to exit on your own accord... I wish Anthony could have stayed...because his tomorrow may have been a little brighter...Shine on somewhere beyond the blue Anthony...you are free. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with the rest of us. Honoring the life of someone very special who will always be remembered.
watchgoose Until you’ve suffered from severe depression, a terrible, dark illness that does not discriminate, you really don’t know what you’re talking about. People who commit suicide are not cowards. I recommend that you read: NOONDAY DEMON: An Atlas of Depression, by Andrew Solomon. It won the National Book Award the year it was first published and a newer edition has added/updated information.
Each time I visit a new city or country I Google top places to eat there by Anthony bourdain ... had some of the best meals in Chicago and Boston recommended by him
My son is on the autism spectrum and was a kind of picky eater. But we would watch Anthony Bourdain's shows together and travel vicariously through him. And through Anthony Bourdain my son became a little bit more adventurous with food, and for that I will always be grateful to him. When Anthony Bourdain died there were several episodes of his show left...my son could not watch them. Bourdain was such a great story teller and he was so fun to watch. The shows were visually stunning to watch.
His travels and ruminations brought me a great deal of joy. He, through his shows and books, educated me about other peoples, cultures, and how sharing a meal with someone tears down barriers and creates common ground. Take something from this man - break bread with someone new and different than you. Explore and continuously learn. And always live life like it's a grand adventure...
Ive had deep and lasting bipolar disorder for 25 years. The highs can be fun, but the lows are absolutely crushing. Ive contemplated suicide many many many times. The only thing that keeps me here is my profound belief in reincarnation and in knowing that death is not the end. But a door. And whatever you could not conquer in this life, you will repeat in the next. Your dark side is not something you slay. Its meant to give you a different understanding of existence. Darkness is real. Shake its hand, respect it, and know that the good that exists in you is greater. Its a test used to discover your best self. If you were always happy, you would never stretch. Until you get weary. Stretch. Understand. Empathise. Love. Rest in greatness Bourdain
Ms. T, Very, very well said. I'm sorry to here about your everyday situation You have to deal with. But so wonderfully greatful, I was able to read your reply you posted on RUclips. Gonna miss Anthony and his shows insight. But everyday is a new day to hope and try. You will never be better off choosing death over life. Stay , live, love w/ us.
Not sure anyone can truly understand until they've been there themselves. One of the unfortunate social and societal side effects of this malady. And it is a malady. The first step is recognizing it. Then, fighting it, knowing it's going to be a long, hard battle - possibly lifelong, as you say. The only way to deal with it, I suspect, is to listen to the advice of your friends and stay as close to them as possible.
6 years later, nothing has done the things he did. How he made food the most relatable thing for everyone to watch. Truly amazing man, its just sad he didnt know how many people care about him.

It's not so much about encouraging people to talk about depression, as it is about encouraging people to listen.
Year ago I suffered depression I told everyone in my family including my mom and my spouse the only person that listened me was my sister. Still no one was there for me as much as I needed.
Pete Bauman we love what we knew of him, one day when you die will people say, he liked to bad mouth people he didn't know personally? If you don't have some good to say....
Thank you Anderson. Such a beautiful tribute. I only knew Anthony through his many adventures on television. My heart dropped when I heard he was gone. I can't imagine the loss his family and friends are feeling. Prayers for you all.
He was a total inspiration for me. Much if the places I travelled to was because of him. Even when I was posted at the US embassy while I was in the marines, much of the places I chose to go was because he went there. Even all these years later I still watch his shows and remember the guy. One of the things I loved about him was the fact that despite him being more liberal, he was not afraid or antagonistic about meeting with others who thought different. I can say that the world can learn a lot from this guy. He is sorely missed.
I never thought I could hurt so much from a death of someone I’ve never met before. But this truly hurts, watching ALL of Anthonys episodes, seeing this man share LIFE with strangers all over the world made me feel optimistic about humanity. This mans exterior was so tough that you would never think he can be hurt. A true Legend, a real man, a poet of life and love. You will be missed my dear friend RIP ❤️❤️❤️😔😢
I loved how he walked and dressed, he seemed like one of us too, very easy to relate to, his tallness was beautiful !!! his voice, his words and understanding...a very exceptional human being.....I pray for his daughter....
I traveled the world with Anthony, I visited places I know, I will never physically go....I smelled the aroma of foods he connected over. The sight s were beautiful, sad, baffeling, yet breath taking!!!!! I experienced a GOD given high as I watched Parts Unknown each week/on demand. There was the human connection Anthony hungered to bind. Anthony used each episode, to erase any barriers of our cultural, social, economic differences. I was there with Anthony each week, mind, heart, spirit and soul!!!!!!! R.I.P Anthony....Nice to have been acquainted with you!!!
Anthony's death is hitting me far harder than I care to admit. He was the best kind of person...anybody who can help make people across the world be less afraid of each other it's a good man. We've lost an angel...and it's a gut-punch to know hes gone.😔
Watched his shows every day almost...for years. They helped me forget many things, helped me sleep at night, helped me cope...over a year later and I still can't bring myself to watch again. Hopefully I will someday. Miss ya Mr. Bourdain.
Ralph Comer - Your god allows way too much suffering to be considered loving. Your god is pathetic for failing to make a perfect world where mankind could live happily. Santa is a much better entity to admire, he brings joy to people without sentencing them to hell.
Ralph Comer - If God isn't a god of confusion, why are there thousands of different Christian denominations? Look, Anthony Bourdain was a much better soul than your god, please spew your filth about your idol somewhere else, this is a tribute to Anthony, not a forum for you to spew lies about an evil god.
In my youth I worked for 80 hours a week as a sous, and some years later, the first time I picked up "Kitchen Confidential" I felt like I knew this guy. The rogueishness was especially attractive because it seems to permeate a kitchen working at full speed to make good food. This is only a pale example, but it resonated with me. We served duck a l'orange, and our duck sauce was made from scratch: duck stock, fresh squeezed orange juice, and our secret ingredient -- a big dollop of Grand Marnier. Customers loved it. One day our manager told us to substitute triple sec for the Grand Marnier, said "no one will notice. The Grand Marnier is too expensive!" My chef and I shared a look, agreed to adulterate our fine sauce with crap, and sent him on his way. From then on, whenever we made a new batch of duck sauce, we would serve the manager and the post-lunch wait staff their lunch in a side room, and either I or my chef would keep a lookout on them through the little round window while the other ran behind the bar and poured the big dollop of Grand Marnier into a glass. Then we would run back into the kitchen and make our sauce -- the right way. The people continued to rave about the sauce, the manager thought he was saving money, and we knew we were doing the right thing. It's an insignificant little restaurant story, but I always thought that Tony would have wholeheartedly approved. I will miss him so.
It squeezes my chest every time I remember, or see reruns. I wish he was around. He gave me something nobody on any tv show or a move was able to give. He was real, simple, complex, charismatic - he was guy everyone loved.
Rest In Peace Mr.Bourdain. You inspired me, a germaphobe to become a explorer. From a cubicle office life to finding myself in streets of India. Your humble beginnings is an inspiration as I can relate. You are so missed, but explorer in me will continue, thanks to you. 🙏
So Bourdain's call for White genocide inspired you. How did his dream of White genocide inspire you and What have you done to help make Bourdain's dream of White genocide reality?
What a Beautiful Tribute to Anthony! Cooper! I'm shocked and saddened and heavy hearted. I watched many episodes of this Amazing Man. He was a Genius . My Prayers for his family and friends, and for us the viewer, for you were takin in by his charisma, and zest for life. Not knowing the sadness he carried inside. Gone but will never be forgotten. RIP... Anthony Bourdain
After reading and watching the interviews with Tony last week speaking about his last shoot--the Hong Kong episode, things seem clearer to me. He had tried for years to get his idol, the legendary cinematographer Christopher Doyle, to appear in an episode. Not only did he appear, but he got behind the camera and actually photographed the entire episode. To add to the serendipity, his director had an emergency illness 2 days before the shoot. He asked his girlfriend Asia Argento to step in and direct it. She did. And all this happened in Hong Kong--Tony's favorite location. It was truly the pinnacle of his career. Could it EVER get any better... I know Tony loved his friends and his family, but I think his career (Not the money nor the fame, but the PASSION for what he did) was his life. He lived life hard and passionatly, yet with great sensitivity, and sometimes that passion can drain you over time--especially when you reach a perceived pinnacle that you fear you may never reach again. I think Hong Kong was, in his mind, as good as it could get, and as good as it was ever going to be.
“Travel changes you. 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.” - Anthony Bourdain
“One of a kind” .....the voice , the charisma, you were brilliant ...and in many ways gifted, we were lucky to to know you thought TV and I don’t believe you’re different in person.
i have his first book on my bed side table. i saw all of his shows. i truely believed i was gonna meet him and i chose a career in a kitchen because of him, it sincerely felt like i lost a friend :( first celebrety death to really hit me rip Anthony Bourdain
Almost a year now and every once in a while I still get very sad because I know I’ll never have a chance to meet him now. When I was growing up and trapped alone in a house I desperately wished to escape from, his show helped me leave for hours at a time, opened my eyes to new dishes I could try to make myself and new cultures and history for me to research and learn from. I wish I could tell him how thankful I am that he helped me realize that people, and the stories they have to tell, are the most fascinating and valuable resource this world has to offer. In every country I visit, no matter how far and often I travel, his approach to life, and his philosophy about taking in all the world has to offer, will never be far from my mind, and I’m sure I’m not alone in this.
Great tribute to Anthony Bourdain. Thank you Anderson Cooper. This had to be difficult for you because of what you have been through yourself during your life. Our world today seems to be in disarray. Social Media I think plays apart. Sometimes people think they are never good enough no matter how famous or rich they are. I personally think it goes back to a person's childhood never knowing what trauma occurred. Sometimes some people never feel loved and even think that they don't deserve love. Love and prayers to his daughter, friends, and family and to everyone. 🙏💗
I cried, I got mad at him and asked, why? Why? Why?! His voice used to give me a sense of peace. My husband and I loved him and his show so much, if we think we weren’t going to make it to his show, we made sure one of us would record it. Our Sunday night is not going to be the same any more. I missed him already. Still sad. Thank you Anthony for giving us your all. Rest In Peace.
des895 I think it’s harder for people who like someone’s public persona, because thats only one aspect of themselves that they allow us to see. Like we were only allowed to see Robin Williams as an actor, so we assumed that that was who he was at all times, making it seems so confusing when someone so visibly happy was actually sad. We all wear certain masks with people and only open up to the ones we trust, so even with close ones maybe you could be the one receiving the layered treatment or the vulnerable one
Anyone else really gonna miss his voice? It was good...the way he spoke, the tone. RIP man....such a shame. Life is already so short. But, I suffer from depression and anxiety that is stable with meds, music, love of my children, support, and most of all, I try to be kind to myself, mentally. Cause ALOT of things and ppl in this world are not so kind...
Hope you will find a way to cure your depression! If you like podcasts you can listen to " The hilarious world of Depression" where people who have dealt with depression are talking about their experience,it is informative and funny.(I get it on Spotify) Also for anyone here who is reading this: Do not hesitate to get professional help, depression is serious and it is ok to seek help. You would not self-medicate a broken arm or leg,-and similarly depression is an illness which can be treated by medical/therapetic professionals.
J Gildz i have a full on crush on that man. His swagger, dry sense of humor, his "i don't give a fuck" mentality and how much he just really loved cultures. I watched every single episode of every single show he’s created, and it truly hit me in the gut and made my eyes water. I was honestly heartbroken . I suffer from depression and while I do imagine myself dying, I don’t want to die. So I completely understand where your coming from. Don’t ever lose the light that’s been keeping you going. ❤️
He was a class on his own. Chef. Philosopher. Traveler. Complicated genius. Drunk and Druggy. but above all a man with a passion for life that was contagious ...truly devastating that he gave up his passion for life by ending his own. Only somebody with deep and dark depression can understand the choice he made. Do not judge him, depression makes you a person who sees NO LIGHT at all. He reached a point where he couldnt take anymore of life. I understand this feeling. I am always suicidal its just a matter of degree. Right now I feel like 30% suicidal but I have been up to 90%. This can change from one week to the next. I will miss this man immensely. A true loss to the world.
mentallo don't justify an action which in his own words he referred to as selfish. and please don't tell those who have come through as being unable to understand. By that definition, since you are here to enlighten us, you must not understand it either. He made a choice It's called free will. He deeply wounded see those he claimed to love the most. Fascinating man. Not a hero. And then Cooper choose to honor him by showing an episode on the Dark side of Berlin. So ironic...that it's not.
Exploration Inspiration Great that he might have helped you but the truth is he was a pedophile whom was going to be put in prison. He’s connected to Weinstein and many other creeps! Do some research
My father took his life in the same way. It’s nice to watch someone be remembered so fondly that went the same way. Everyone deserves to be remembered for what made them special.
I am not a big TV guy, except when it comes to travel shows. Bourdain's show was unlike any other travel show. It gave me a feeling of closeness and Anthony was raw. It is a big loss. One that is hard to understand ...
J Schultz I agree, I don't know much about Mr Bourdain, but he seemed to be an interesting and fun man. He is right about eating food when overseas. It's important to most cultures. The only time I completely balked was when offered a sheep's eye in Turkey, when I was 19!
Steve C type chaos agent and sewer rat are now smearing good courageous hero who fought real fights against rapey giant Weinstein and exposed himself to MOSSAD grade professional hit men. Always follow TrumpRussiaMercer thugs' projections. Child-trafficking Trump gestapo people pre-emptively called former FLOTUS Hillary child trafficker. Now they are calling MeToo figurehead Bourdain a "pedo" ---- which means, real powerful pedophile was after Bourdain. But that would be too obvious to be considered a conspiracy theory. #4theLoveOfBourdain WE WILL REMEMBER!
Still miss him. I only knew him as others did via his onscreen adventures and his unique narrative and voice but I came to treasure his perspective and the glimpses of the world he gave us in his travels. The hurt is still a little raw, especially as I watch this again. Godspeed, Anthony.
Damn we lost a good one. I looked up to Anthony and his way of thinking and having an open mind. I always like traveling and experiencing new things and when I found out about Bourdain I felt a connection. You will be missed Anthony Bourdain may you rest in peace and my condolences for the family.
I feel a shot through my heart. I did NOT know AB through his travels but I did know AB through his empathetic comments on an array of topics on twitter and it wasn't much of a week ago that I tweeted to him that through those comments I had become a HUGE fan. I think the world mourns today together for an outstanding human being who at the same time was as normal as you & me. Peace&love to AB. Rest easy friend.
I was never affected by a celebrity's death like Anthony Bourdain's, this one is painful. In these troubled and divided times he was a beacon of hope for me, through his medium he made me feel that there are no bad races, that one should open their hearts and minds to other cultures. He made me feel that it's going to be okay, he was one of the good ones. Now he's gone, and it really hurts. I never knew him personally, but if there's an after life, I hope to share a beer with him, sitting on plastic stools as we eat barbequed pork impaled on bamboo skewers, and share a smile or a bout of laughter. I'll miss you Bourdain.
@stabinghobo57, I' visited your channel and saw that you're a Fox supporter, and most likely someone that hates liberal ideas. Why come here? You actually came here to troll among people that grieves this man's passing. Are you that disgusting?
@Squeakers CNN isn’t an exclusive news network just for liberals, It’s for all Americans. Anthony Bourdain was a arrogant prick who constantly talk down about America when he visited other countries and he was a drug addicted. Don’t understand why people are praising this guy for doing next to nothing. Just a rich prick trying other peoples foods.
I adored Anthony Bourdain’s genuine zest for life and deep desire to connect and learn from multiple cultures - he displayed incredible enthusiasm for exploring the world whilst being a fabulous story teller. Wonderful tribute. RIP.
Even though I didn't know him personally. I felt like he was a friend that shared his passion for food and the world we live in. I normally don't get upset when I hear about celebrity deaths. But, I feel like I really lost a friend. Tony, I hope you are at peace now. You have inspired so many to travel the world and eat what the world has to offer. People, Don't be afraid to try something that might be out of your cpmfort zone. Be as adventurous as Tony Bourdain and live life to is fullest.
Same. I honestly don't remember crying over any other celebrity death (though I have been deeply saddened by them, of course), but I can't stop crying for some reason. I thought today I'd get by without tears, but this piece was very moving, and brought me right back. Anthony really was a special person.
Moment of silence for Bourdain. And to all the people who have come here to post toxicity and hate, I offer a moment of silence for you as well. You are truly, truly beyond help.
R Q Truly sad. Even Donald offered some kind words and respect. He may be a corrupt criminal, but I wonder if Donald really, truly understands the actual evil within so many of his loyalists.
Steve C I offer my honest prayers for you, to someday be purged of the evil, hatred, and blindness that fill your heart and mind. Peace and love be with you, my friend. And to all who see Steve's comment, do not insult him. Do not hate him. Pray for him, if praying is what you do, and wish him peace and love.
root Nah. When they scream hatred and vomit bile in your face, offer them peace, love, and friendship in return. At least on this video. Do it for Bourdain. And besides, it really fucks with them when you respond that way 😉
I always end up watching this tribute around the same time every year since his death reflecting on how he touched the world. I also like to picture Anthony Bourdain and former Sous-Chef Carlos Garcia running the kitchen line together again in the afterlife! Thank you for all the memories and life lessons, may you rest in peace.
Brendan Casey I don’t think suicide is quite so straightforward mate. I understand how you feel, but you may be looking at a complex issue with an overly simplistic, black and white perspective. In any case, it’s absolutely terrible that he was driven to the point where he took his own life, and absolutely terrible that the loved ones he’s left behind now find themselves having to metaphorically pick up the pieces...
I come back to this video, years after his passing, and all I've ever loved about the man shines in every video, every episode, and every other chef that he ever shared a meal with. The great Marco Pierre White, Masa Takeyama, Eric Ripier. All of them honor him as a great influence to budding and young chefs. An icon for not only being humble, but for being genuine and authentic. And most importantly, being an enthusiastic and loving friend, who wanted nothing but peace, understanding, and equality between all cultures and all people. Someone who could always make you love and laugh around others, regardless of background or origin. Someone who thrived and existed to bring everyone together and remind them to take in the smallest things and live in the moment to fall in love with the little moments with others. I miss you, Anthony. I can never express how much of an influence you always were to me, in the kitchen and out. I can't express in words how much you inspired me and everyone about life. How I felt like I was traveling with you, side by side. And to so, so many others. Words can't express how many people, young and old, you taught humility, understanding, passion, and love to. Across countless generations, peoples, cultures, beliefs, and nationalities. I hope you find solace and embrace in your afterlife, and I hope you know how loved you always were. I'm sorry if you felt alone in the end. Rest in the sweetest peace, Anthony Bourdain. Your legacy will never be able to be matched, and your personality will always be missed across the globe. Much love ❤️
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Anthony. I am heartbroken for all who loved him too. R.I.P. Anthony. Much love.💕. Thank you Anderson you are a beautiful soul too.
His honesty pissed me off, made me think and feel. I would not seek out his shows but would always watch them when I came across them. One of the most captivating humans on the planet. Thank you, Anthony, for showing us the world and helping us to see it's beauty through your eyes. Hope you found what you were looking for.
I can't believe it's been 3 years. The silence is deafening. Try as they might, others cannot replicate him or the experience of watching him because they are not the same as him . . .. they don't have his compassion down through his soul to his toes . . .. nor the humility he had when interacting with the regular people in the world. Everyone except some competitors felt like he was their/our friend. So yes, Anthony, you live still in our hearts.
I feel exactly the same. He came from hospitality background, so he deeply appreciated hospitality, no matter how or where it was offered, he accepted it humbly, said thanks and enjoyed it (or at least, pretended to). I come from a family of chefs, most of my relatives either own restaurants or hotels or work in them. He was one of us, and I felt like loosing an older brother. Still miss him and his unique way with words and people. Chefs rule.
I have all his No Reservations episodes on my ipod video. It was my favorite go-to thing to watch when I needed to burn thru an hour on the subway. I can say 100% that I am a NYC foodie because of Tony. I had my then-girlfriend-now-wife's first date dinner at Les Halles because Tony had worked there. I dreamt of meeting him one day.
And I think he'd be proud to know that. He influenced our way of looking at food and culture so much. As a couple cooking together, as individual people cooking, going out and experiencing new places we've never been to. Someone posted on a social media site [can't remember who, which site, I have baby brain right now] the best way to pay tribute to Anthony is to go out, spend time adventuring somewhere new, trying new things, and eating amazing food. Really tasting what life has to offer. And I think that's all we can do
I tried and love durian fruit because of his show! I eat at Katz Deli anytime I can because of Tony, and whenever I would have out-of-towners visit, I'd take them to Katz and show them a clip of Tony eating there. I always get the Tony classic: pastrami on rye with mustard, sour pickles and a Dr. Brown's cream soda (HIGHLY recommend it). There are few celebs that have hit me hard with their deaths. Alan Rickman was another one who shocked me when he passed. But Anthony Bourdain had me in utter shock. Like Adam Richman tweeted, "Damn it Tony....why?" That's all I think about now. I ate last year at Eric Ripert's 3-michelin restaurant Le Bernardin because I saw Eric on Tony's show and I loved their bromance. I read that Eric was the one who discovered Tony dead. That's horrible!!! We lost an icon for sure.
RIP Anthony, may you be in a better place. Nice tribute Anderson. Very sad and a shock he took his life, a big character who overcame so much and brought so much to people, a person you’d love to chat with over a meal. Thoughts and prayers with his daughter and all his loved ones.
I came across your very precious video of Messrs. Anderson Cooper and Anthony Bourdain and I could not help being teary eyed. I have followed his adventures around the world and Mr. Bourdain has a heart of gold and a heart that wants to love the different cultures and food of this world. I still have not come to accept that he is physically gone but he will always have a place in my heart.
Donna said something great and the chat got mad? people somebody just died and one of you is worrying about liberals having problems. Not appropriate for the situation.
My children were upset about the news the only show we enjoy watching together..his insights so great he uniquely capture the essence oftime,place,peole,culture & season as his best food spices,then hand it over the bourdain way. plate of wisdom!
I didn’t know him, but this hurt. I remember getting up that morning at four am getting ready to start my day. I turned on the tv to cnn, and there was his photo, and I sat and cried. At that time my job was case manager for people who suffer from mental illness, and substance abuse. I know the loneliness they feel, and it broke my heart to know that he died alone hurting. 🙏🙏🙏
Check on your friends. Check on your family. Check on your work colleagues. You never know what's going on beneath the surface. And don't beat yourself up if you've done all that and couldn't save someone who didn't want to be saved. RIP Mr Bourdain
My boyfriend committed suicide in February and I felt so guilty because I should have known...we talked to each other everyday, in person and over text, and I still didn't know he was struggling. It hurts so much. Thank you so much for saying this because I know so many people who have struggled and didn't get help because nobody took notice to them.
Becca Lynne ,I'm so sorry for your loss! My father in law committed suicide in front of me and my husband. It was so traumatic. Unfortunately a couple years later, my husband (only love and high school sweetheart ) was robbed and murdered while I was 7 months pregnant. I've had my fair share of trauma. Please don't blame yourself. I even felt like you. You go through different stages of feelings when you're hit with it. Stay strong please and have great friends and family support. Unfortunately I didn't have family support. I had my in laws, but they were 3 states away. Please stay strong and we all need to talk more about depression and suicide. We can use our voices to help. I do about depression, suicide and help victims of crime families and STAY STRONG! xo
Hard to believe he would do such a thing. Anthony just filmed a show in Armenia. I'm sorry but I believe it wasn't suicide. A person like Anthony has seen the world he knows better. In my heart, I know he knew better than to commit suicide. RIP my friend ❤💙💛from Armenia.
I learned so much by watching him. Depression is a silent killer. Looking at him doing interviews his eyes did not look happy, it seemed he was trying to convince himself that life is good. 😢😢😢
wow, some people really think that depression is just “feeling a little down.” It’s living everyday with no matter how much or little you have and still not feeling happy or satisfied and feeling constantly drained - its a disease. If you think that you had depression and just got over it, then good for you, but life isn’t the same for everyone.
Andrew Simoes Tell me about I think of it daily. Been depressed for years. It’s something pills don’t make better. I truly believe there’s no cure. If I didn’t have my fur babies I would have done it a long time ago. I couldn’t leave them because I’m all they have and no one would take care of them like u do. My lil guy suffers separation anxiety and when I left for a month he literally chewed all the fur off his leg. No way I could leave him for good. Some days are bad but I just try to stay busy. It’s the worst disease that’s mentally draining. Plz pray for me.
If you truly believe there is no cure, then how could you ever expect to feel better? You see the conundrum you have put yourself in? Yes, pills won't make it better, only you can figure out what will make it better, and then do it whatever it takes to make it better.
thehotsixer1 You have no clue how it feels, you can’t just change it, it’s not that simple or I wouldn’t have manic depression to begin with. All I can do is Learn to Live with it through my Animals who depend on me. That’s the only thing that makes me function daily, they are my therapy and this is why I don’t talk to my family much because they think there’s a easy solution when that is totally WRONG!!! You can’t understand unless you are in the same boat as me!
It's sad what people think,depression is a blind disease, I use to be that happy,funny guy everyone liked,but somehow I ended up having clinical depression and gad(generalized anxiety disorder),I have not gone out in 12 years,once in awhile I would but end up leavi g after an hour,I'm 50 now I was a tuff tattooed guy,now I just struggle,I cry for everything and cry for nothing,I was very active now I don't wanna do anything, if not for my wife and son and my parents, I would end my life,but till this day I have to put my happy mask on and be strong,being depressed and having depression are two different things,I hope people read this so they have some understanding and could support someone they know with depression,I do take meds they help a little but I certainly am not the person I use to be,to all with depression be strong,gotta go I'm getting man tears typing this comment.
This is such a tragedy. People have asked why did he not think of his daughter? It is so difficult to explain to people who have not been that ill. When I experience really bad episodes of suicidal depression in my suicidal depressive thinking nearly everybody in my family - child, mother, brother sister in law, father and friends - would be far better off in the world with me dead. In that moment of severe illness I know that for a fact. When I am in periods of recovery I know that it is a part of the illness. It is an awful illness to have. Hopefully people can learn from such sad episodes that the only shame is in stigmatising mental ill health condemning people who are ill.
Anthony Thomas ++ I am so sorry you have this debilitating illness. Please don't lose hope, keep fighting. The expression "there's light at the end of the tunnel" it's true, but it is real only if you believe. I've been through some dark times myself and i found prayer helpful as well. It gave me srtrength to not give up.
Thank you for your thoughts. As for prayer - I'm a devout believer in cats and the DiviniKitties have helped keep me alive. I heard a joke told by a depression sufferer. That light at the end of the tunnel is actually a train coming straight at you.
My brother who was a therapist who passed away used to say that each of us is a walking mosaic, no one part of our lives larger than another. When I think of people like Anthony Boudain who ended their lives prematurely, in his case probably due to suicide, I like to think of that quote, and remember him more for him traveling the world and teaching others about it than for his death and how he died. I have no idea about his poliical leanings, and I know he wasn't perfect and had shortcoimngs as we all do, and what t do know is he opened up the world to many thru his travels and vulnerability, and I appreciate that! God bless his friends and family, and may God bless you and keep you!!
I can't even watch Anderson Cooper's tribute to Bourdain, I'm just going to be overcome by extreme sadness. CNN was running episodes of Parts Unknown yesterday, I quickly changed the channel. I just couldn't watch it. Damn, I'm tearing up right now.
Silent Lee yes I was waiting for that exact response but majority are. I'm a blue collar worker only one guy we work with is a liberal and we get on him for that lol.
Sort of.... read his upbringing. He was a prep school kid. He attended Vassar College for a few years, later going to the Culinary Arts Institute of America. But, never mind socioeconomic class crap. Believe me it is crap, despite that particular cultural elements in an environment may be influential (or not). I take it that you mean "blue collar type of guy" in that he has that lack of pretentiousness, and he seriously frequented a lot of eateries that are just that.... Good stuff! He's not a snob. But he's all about quality and adventure. He's got that rugged individualist attitude. He's kinda punk like The Ramones he liked so much. Very nice character, true! Missed? Ahhhh, for sure!!!!
It's ok. You're not the only one. It's a strangely comforting feeling. I've been sad over many celebrity deaths, but Bourdain's was so different. I still feel such profound sadness over his suicide. I never knew the man, but I feel like I lost a friend.
Everyone always says they can’t believe it when someone dies and now I understand because I never thought he’d be gone so soon. I get such a horrible feeling when I think about it for too long .. Rest In Peace
Many memories as a young poor kid living vicariously through this man and his show....So grateful I was able to watch and admire... Feel like I owe it to him to travel more and most importantly understand more ...R.I.P Anthony Bourdain
@@latentsea you'd think if you were trying to create a conspiracy as legitimate that you'd know how to spell the names of the people you're talking about
Today he would have been 5 years older. RIP Anthony Bourdain, never forgotten.
One of the finest Americans of this century.
I don't know one celebrity that was so respectful to so many different cultures. The world, not just this country, lost a legend.
Openly wishing for the deaths of all White people is respect for different cultures??? You're a special kind of stupid or an old fashion type of evil
Pete Bauman ugh chill out...
He called for the death of vegans and vegetarians. Respect my ass. He was a self-centred ass.
Anthony K Agreed! Ive been watching his show for years. #ALegendTakesAWalkIntheSky
Yes, you are right.
Love you Anthony Bourdain... you brought me places I will never get to go in person. My favorite show was when you sat with a family in Iran, that changes my understanding of the world. Thank you for all you gave us!!!!💗
This news brought me very deep sadness I’m from Iran and I love the what he have done , he showed different side of Normal people’s life around the world.he was a great guy we will miss him sadly!! But our question remains
Unanswered why? someone like him his life cut short !!
Summer Sanchez he did something so wonderful in that Iran episode. In those Episodes where he showed humanity vast and loving, despite what some may say. His work will always be remembered and missed.
interesting fact about that episode, cnn has done virtually no reruns of that episode whereas all other episodes keep getting rebroadcasted on the weekends. now this is a bit conspiratorial on my part but not that far fetched either: the establishment, of which cnn is a part of, doesnt want you to think of iran as place where any normal looking or happy people live they need you think of iran as a hell hole where women are treated like dogs so that if they ever launch a war they can justify it and ABs episode in iran didnt help them paint the picture they want.

I never actually met him, but I feel I knew him. I've traveled the world with him within the walls of my living room. Ate supper with him nearly every night. My 6 yr. Old daughter loves him too. I have still not had the heart to tell her that he passed away. Not only because I know she will be heart broken, but also we are healing from one of my best friends also passing this year. 2018 was a bad year for us. But mainly so she can still enjoy him, the way I used to. Now I watch him and it deeply saddens me to know that he is no longer with us. I never met you, but I feel I knew you and you took me places and taught me things I would never be able to go and do on my own. I pray you are at peace now Anthony Bourdain. When I eat pork and drink I will think of you.
I love it when people write from their soul...
awwww
Samantha Halfacre I’m crying because I didn’t know and he changed my life and my family gatherings. I posted a short story 😢😭😇
Samantha, Well stated.
so sweet Samantha, watery eyes that gave me, thank you, you got it when you said you felt like you knew him, boy so many people would have loved to have known him, he maybe didn't know what he had...
Anthony Bourdain was inspirational.. He Inspired me to travel, and on my travels, I met my wife.
Freddy B god bless you and your family
please uplaod more videos,I love seeing the work in progress of people. P.s. I loved Anthony Bourdain,
ruclips.net/video/QiQv-19e0zQ/видео.html yeah no he was a pos
90 day fiancé ?
I went to Montreal shortly after his death. As a fan of his writing and work, I ordered Poutine. It didn't appeal to me, but I owed it to him to try it. Any time I go to a really good restaurant or a country I haven't visited before, I eat something I have never had. Thanks Tony.
I will never get over this. He once said “Travel changes you. 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.” And you, Tony, you left a huge mark and impact on my life. Thank you.
Anthony was a philosopher. Through and through. He was able to take such a simple thing like food and expand it’s meaning past the ability to eat. It’s hard to accept his death, but it was beautiful to see how many adventures he was able to take. Anthony, you’re no longer exploring this world, you’re now exploring another. Rest easy bourdain. We love you.
Eh philosopher blah blah blah , coward more like it. Had he hung himself from his single wife trailer while evading the IRS and other debt collectors I'd have more sympathy for him. Instead he hung hi.self from his luxury 5 star hotel room in fucking France of all places all the while he was clearing 100k per episode while doing the best most fulfilling job on the face of the planet. But sure he was a "philosopher"
Great story teller....
Damn, still missing him so much as I watch this in 2020!
Same. His insight and life experiences were so inspiring and can teach people so much. He is missed.
Me too.
i forgot he died a year ago... I thought this was recent.
He’s among a small handful of people who’s opinions I’d absolutely love to hear right now, considering the state of the world. He was a phenomenal storyteller, and as someone who shares his first name, but not a hair of his talent, I miss him terribly. RIP Mr Bourdain.
Same!
I feel like he was one of the only people on TV who tried to prove that we don't have to be afraid of one another.
He was courageous because he took the final step into the unknown.
Robert Bemister don’t call someone coward for suicide they have demons but no one can claim they are weak maybe Anthony was stronger than u are
S B yea he's a coward, we all have demons it's just for us not to be afraid of them that gives us bravery, he was afraid of his demons and therefore he is coward
Get _Busy_Again God didn’t make no man weak the devil is within us all watch what u say it can be held against u don’t judge a suicide u r not correct
what the fuck are yall talking about..... we all have demons.. he was a coward...?? Can you guys just reread what you said. Dont think like that lmao
It's sad, No Reservations got me through a terrible divorce and depression. He took me around the world and got my mind off of my troubles. RIP Anthony.
StylistNtraining
His soothing voice in the background as the TV was on. I had a traumatic surgery and had lost my mind as the pain ripped me apart but his beautiful voice.... his beautiful voice. 😢
No Reservations was the one show each week that my ex-husband and I would sit together and watch. I remember him saying, "You got five minutes, grab the snacks!" because the show would always make us hungry. Then we would hunker down to see where Anthony would take us that week. It's one of the best memories I have from my marriage.
Beth Grogan haha on the 5 minutes to get the snacks. I'll have to remember that when watching food- related shows. 😃 Thanks for the laughs. And may you find and discover new memories in your life as you endeavor to move forward and live it!!!! 🎉🎊🍨🍧🎂🍕👌👑
Exactly same here.
StylistNtraning, did your 8 year old boy bride get a big settlement from you? Bordain was the biggest arrogant asshole in the world. You must have about a zero IQ if Anthony Bordello got your mind off of your troubles. Toodles sweetie pie.....
I found out as soon as I woke up and burst into tears and cried all day. My father committed suicide and I was the one to find him. Eventually I became a Chef before becoming a stay at home mom. Anthony and Sean Brock are my absolute favorite chefs. I tried to stop crying but couldn’t and went a head and make breakfast for my husband and I and cried while eating too. Cooking has always been my number 1 love. Anthony was an inspiration to many. So honest. So loving. Always willing to listen. Taking people all over the world to see new places they wouldn’t of seen or food they would of never heard of if not for his show. My heart breaks for his family and his daughter. May he forever be in peace now. You were so loved and will be missed by many. 😭😭😭
Beautiful tribute. Take care of yourself & your loved ones....Sounds like you are!
Jackie I hope you feel better today. I was quite shocked when I saw the headline too. Never expected something like that.
I applauded
Jackie Kramer BLESS YOUR ♥️
DatYamaha450 JusGoinHam wow whata pathetic person you are. You don't understand hardship and how what happend to her in the past could've triggered this. So shut the fuck up with your ignorance and go live your spoiled life. Ignorance is what's wrong with this world people who have never felt hardships or trauma don't understand it so they tell others to suck it up. Its pathetic .I feel bad for your inability to feel empathy
I don't cry over celebrity deaths, but this one still hurts. One of the greatest story tellers of our times and someone that so many people can relate to. It's easy to see him as a friend even though I never had the chance to meet him. Still devistating to think of
I agree with you about not crying over celebrity deaths, but when Anthony died I felt as if a good friend had died, even when I never met him in person, I hope wherever he is he knows that there are many people who loved him and miss him.
No one really knows what is really going on inside someone the struggles, the pain, the hopelessness that people carry within themselves. Life deals you a hand of cards (good with the bad) - you either play that hand out until a natural end or you choose to exit on your own accord... I wish Anthony could have stayed...because his tomorrow may have been a little brighter...Shine on somewhere beyond the blue Anthony...you are free. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with the rest of us. Honoring the life of someone very special who will always be remembered.
This one shocked me and saddened me what a lost. #RIP
Since you find this to be a time to make tasteless jokes, let me be the troll in the room & say GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
texas thunder Fuck you.
TEXAS that's "role". Regardless of what he said, he did take the coward's way out.
watchgoose Until you’ve suffered from severe depression, a terrible, dark illness that does not discriminate, you really don’t know what you’re talking about. People who commit suicide are not cowards. I recommend that you read:
NOONDAY DEMON: An Atlas of Depression, by Andrew Solomon. It won the National Book Award the year it was first published and a newer edition has added/updated information.
Honestly I've never been more saddened by the news of a celebrity passing away. Truly a larger than life human being!! RIP AB
shabeen shareef day
His suicide was his greatest service to humanity. I hated Anthony Bourdain.
Each time I visit a new city or country I Google top places to eat there by Anthony bourdain ... had some of the best meals in Chicago and Boston recommended by him
Joe Schizoid fuck you.
@@joeschizoid7762 and why did you hate him? And why would you ratber see him commit suicide rather then see him improve?
My son is on the autism spectrum and was a kind of picky eater. But we would watch Anthony Bourdain's shows together and travel vicariously through him. And through Anthony Bourdain my son became a little bit more adventurous with food, and for that I will always be grateful to him. When Anthony Bourdain died there were several episodes of his show left...my son could not watch them. Bourdain was such a great story teller and he was so fun to watch. The shows were visually stunning to watch.
Anthony, I never met you, but I will miss travelling places unknown with you, may God please have mercy on his soul. Rest easy
Angel 1973 good thing hes reading your post.
What did he do for God to have mercy on his soul?
I couldn't stand his cooking to be honest. Oh well he be cooking for many ..in hell :)
God don't have mercy on those who suicide. God has eternal flames of hell awaiting Mr Bourdain. RIH
Trevor K McKenzie Apparently God doesn't show any mercy for your hair line neither. You miserable puke
His travels and ruminations brought me a great deal of joy. He, through his shows and books, educated me about other peoples, cultures, and how sharing a meal with someone tears down barriers and creates common ground.
Take something from this man - break bread with someone new and different than you. Explore and continuously learn. And always live life like it's a grand adventure...
Ive had deep and lasting bipolar disorder for 25 years. The highs can be fun, but the lows are absolutely crushing. Ive contemplated suicide many many many times. The only thing that keeps me here is my profound belief in reincarnation and in knowing that death is not the end. But a door. And whatever you could not conquer in this life, you will repeat in the next. Your dark side is not something you slay. Its meant to give you a different understanding of existence. Darkness is real. Shake its hand, respect it, and know that the good that exists in you is greater. Its a test used to discover your best self. If you were always happy, you would never stretch. Until you get weary. Stretch. Understand. Empathise. Love. Rest in greatness Bourdain
MsTuliplady May you and all of us keep striving. This world is no joke.
reincarnation? Bwahhh ha ha you nut job
Ms. T,
Very, very well said. I'm sorry to here about your everyday situation
You have to deal with. But so wonderfully greatful, I was able to read your reply you posted on RUclips. Gonna miss Anthony and his shows insight. But everyday is a new day to hope and try. You will never be better off choosing death over life. Stay , live,
love w/ us.
Not sure anyone can truly understand until they've been there themselves. One of the unfortunate social and societal side effects of this malady. And it is a malady. The first step is recognizing it. Then, fighting it, knowing it's going to be a long, hard battle - possibly lifelong, as you say. The only way to deal with it, I suspect, is to listen to the advice of your friends and stay as close to them as possible.
Well articulated, nuanced, and relatable.
6 years later, nothing has done the things he did. How he made food the most relatable thing for everyone to watch. Truly amazing man, its just sad he didnt know how many people care about him.
It's not so much about encouraging people to talk about depression, as it is about encouraging people to listen.
terry hughes I wish I could like this comment a million times! So true...
You know it, AZ Girl livin in a TX world! x
terry hughes Very well said
Year ago I suffered depression I told everyone in my family including my mom and my spouse the only person that listened me was my sister. Still no one was there for me as much as I needed.
terry hughes 👌👌👌 well said
He did an amazing amount for recovering addicts. Changing opinions and being open about a subject that many denied. I'm saddened by this. I loved him.
Pete Bauman we love what we knew of him, one day when you die will people say, he liked to bad mouth people he didn't know personally? If you don't have some good to say....
Pete Bauman Wtf
Thank you Anderson. Such a beautiful tribute. I only knew Anthony through his many adventures on television. My heart dropped when I heard he was gone. I can't imagine the loss his family and friends are feeling. Prayers for you all.
Starla Morgan cooper sticks his dick in the pooper.
He was a total inspiration for me. Much if the places I travelled to was because of him. Even when I was posted at the US embassy while I was in the marines, much of the places I chose to go was because he went there. Even all these years later I still watch his shows and remember the guy. One of the things I loved about him was the fact that despite him being more liberal, he was not afraid or antagonistic about meeting with others who thought different. I can say that the world can learn a lot from this guy. He is sorely missed.
I never thought I could hurt so much from a death of someone I’ve never met before. But this truly hurts, watching ALL of Anthonys episodes, seeing this man share LIFE with strangers all over the world made me feel optimistic about humanity. This mans exterior was so tough that you would never think he can be hurt. A true Legend, a real man, a poet of life and love. You will be missed my dear friend RIP ❤️❤️❤️😔😢
So very well said. Thank you.
I loved how he walked and dressed, he seemed like one of us too, very easy to relate to, his tallness was beautiful !!! his voice, his words and understanding...a very exceptional human being.....I pray for his daughter....
I traveled the world with Anthony, I visited places I know, I will never physically go....I smelled the aroma of foods he connected over. The sight s were beautiful, sad, baffeling, yet breath taking!!!!! I experienced a GOD given high as I watched Parts Unknown each week/on demand. There was the human connection Anthony hungered to bind. Anthony used each episode, to erase any barriers of our cultural, social, economic differences. I was there with Anthony each week, mind, heart, spirit and soul!!!!!!! R.I.P Anthony....Nice to have been acquainted with you!!!
Yes my feelings exactly. He was a beautiful soul and will be missed ❤️
Anthony's death is hitting me far harder than I care to admit.
He was the best kind of person...anybody who can help make people across the world be less afraid of each other it's a good man.
We've lost an angel...and it's a gut-punch to know hes gone.😔
best kind of person? hmm, looks like he is a child abandoning pos. did u actually read what u wrote?
"best kind of person? hmm, looks like he is a child abandoning pos. did u actually read what u wrote?"
FUCK OFF, you heartless Nazi FUCK.

Spam reported AGAIN.
Jack O'Scratch ma ballz ooooooh reported spam. Ooooohhh gonna go tell momma next? No worries i will fill her in tonight for ya.
Watched his shows every day almost...for years. They helped me forget many things, helped me sleep at night, helped me cope...over a year later and I still can't bring myself to watch again. Hopefully I will someday. Miss ya Mr. Bourdain.
Took me around the world for free.thanks dude
This is truly devastating. This world has lost it's spark, it's raw, it's genuineness.
Cicily Mitchell who is he😕

Lmao y’all weird
Cicily Mitchell. Your really going waaaaaay overboard.

- Your god allows way too much suffering to be considered loving. Your god is pathetic for failing to make a perfect world where mankind could live happily. Santa is a much better entity to admire, he brings joy to people without sentencing them to hell.
Ralph Comer
- If God isn't a god of confusion, why are there thousands of different Christian denominations? Look, Anthony Bourdain was a much better soul than your god, please spew your filth about your idol somewhere else, this is a tribute to Anthony, not a forum for you to spew lies about an evil god.
In my youth I worked for 80 hours a week as a sous, and some years later, the first time I picked up "Kitchen Confidential" I felt like I knew this guy. The rogueishness was especially attractive because it seems to permeate a kitchen working at full speed to make good food. This is only a pale example, but it resonated with me. We served duck a l'orange, and our duck sauce was made from scratch: duck stock, fresh squeezed orange juice, and our secret ingredient -- a big dollop of Grand Marnier. Customers loved it. One day our manager told us to substitute triple sec for the Grand Marnier, said "no one will notice. The Grand Marnier is too expensive!" My chef and I shared a look, agreed to adulterate our fine sauce with crap, and sent him on his way. From then on, whenever we made a new batch of duck sauce, we would serve the manager and the post-lunch wait staff their lunch in a side room, and either I or my chef would keep a lookout on them through the little round window while the other ran behind the bar and poured the big dollop of Grand Marnier into a glass. Then we would run back into the kitchen and make our sauce -- the right way. The people continued to rave about the sauce, the manager thought he was saving money, and we knew we were doing the right thing. It's an insignificant little restaurant story, but I always thought that Tony would have wholeheartedly approved. I will miss him so.
salamanca1954 ..lol great story, sure he would ha e loved it! Sounds like him..👌😊
salamanca1954 Appreciate the story!
from one chef to another, cheers to sneeking behind the bar! and another for our colleague!
salamanca1954 Thanks for sharing this
What a great piece of integrity to share with us......thank you
It squeezes my chest every time I remember, or see reruns. I wish he was around. He gave me something nobody on any tv show or a move was able to give. He was real, simple, complex, charismatic - he was guy everyone loved.
Rest In Peace Mr.Bourdain. You inspired me, a germaphobe to become a explorer. From a cubicle office life to finding myself in streets of India. Your humble beginnings is an inspiration as I can relate. You are so missed, but explorer in me will continue, thanks to you. 🙏
So Bourdain's call for White genocide inspired you. How did his dream of White genocide inspire you and What have you done to help make Bourdain's dream of White genocide reality?
you're pathetic.
Tertiary Trump Derangement syndrome is liberal business. Deal with it yourselves. Your illnesses are of your own making.
What a Beautiful Tribute to Anthony! Cooper! I'm shocked and saddened and heavy hearted. I watched many episodes of this Amazing Man. He was a Genius . My Prayers for his family and friends, and for us the viewer, for you were takin in by his charisma, and zest for life. Not knowing the sadness he carried inside. Gone but will never be forgotten. RIP... Anthony Bourdain
After reading and watching the interviews with Tony last week speaking about his last shoot--the Hong Kong episode, things seem clearer to me. He had tried for years to get his idol, the legendary cinematographer Christopher Doyle, to appear in an episode. Not only did he appear, but he got behind the camera and actually photographed the entire episode. To add to the serendipity, his director had an emergency illness 2 days before the shoot. He asked his girlfriend Asia Argento to step in and direct it. She did. And all this happened in Hong Kong--Tony's favorite location. It was truly the pinnacle of his career. Could it EVER get any better...
I know Tony loved his friends and his family, but I think his career (Not the money nor the fame, but the PASSION for what he did) was his life. He lived life hard and passionatly, yet with great sensitivity, and sometimes that passion can drain you over time--especially when you reach a perceived pinnacle that you fear you may never reach again. I think Hong Kong was, in his mind, as good as it could get, and as good as it was ever going to be.
“Travel changes you. 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.”
- Anthony Bourdain
Shock is an understatement
I will miss him
his girlfriend Asia Argento cheated on him in Rome with a 28 year old dude named Hugo Clement. There's your answer.
I will too. He was one of my favorite people. Raw, authentic, yet charismatic!
Steve C shut up
Angie Dibella how do u know he didn't know him? Grow up. Stop acting like a kid.
“One of a kind” .....the voice , the charisma, you were brilliant ...and in many ways gifted, we were lucky to to know you thought TV and I don’t believe you’re different in person.
THANK YOU, Anderson Cooper for this beautiful tribute on Anthony Bourdain. He will be missed.
When this man died I cried like a baby for days... Rest In Peace chef
I dont know why i was so emotional when he passed but i was and still this day i really wish he was still around. We miss you.
Only celebrity I’ve ever gave a shot about when he died.
It was like a punch in the stomach with an ache that never goes away,
😭😭😭😭
As a former chef I cried as well. It was devastating
i have his first book on my bed side table. i saw all of his shows. i truely believed i was gonna meet him and i chose a career in a kitchen because of him, it sincerely felt like i lost a friend :(
first celebrety death to really hit me
rip Anthony Bourdain
augusto cordeiro my condolences
me tooooo
Thank you very much Mr. Cooper for your very heartfelt, fair and sobering tribute to Mr. Bourdian.
all ball Indeed!
Cooper gets fucked in the pooper.
What's wrong with you, gene tillman?
What a loser guy aye? fake news cnn lost out with this guy :)
cooper eats mens poop holes..no wonder he suicided. Couldn't live with his shame :)
Almost a year now and every once in a while I still get very sad because I know I’ll never have a chance to meet him now. When I was growing up and trapped alone in a house I desperately wished to escape from, his show helped me leave for hours at a time, opened my eyes to new dishes I could try to make myself and new cultures and history for me to research and learn from. I wish I could tell him how thankful I am that he helped me realize that people, and the stories they have to tell, are the most fascinating and valuable resource this world has to offer.
In every country I visit, no matter how far and often I travel, his approach to life, and his philosophy about taking in all the world has to offer, will never be far from my mind, and I’m sure I’m not alone in this.
Tony still teaching us about human condition and life even after his passing. I watch his shows during this quarantine.
Great tribute to Anthony Bourdain. Thank you Anderson Cooper. This had to be difficult for you because of what you have been through yourself during your life. Our world today seems to be in disarray. Social Media I think plays apart. Sometimes people think they are never good enough no matter how famous or rich they are. I personally think it goes back to a person's childhood never knowing what trauma occurred. Sometimes some people never feel loved and even think that they don't deserve love. Love and prayers to his daughter, friends, and family and to everyone. 🙏💗
I miss Anthony Bourdain even almost 2 years later since his passing
I cried, I got mad at him and asked, why? Why? Why?! His voice used to give me a sense of peace. My husband and I loved him and his show so much, if we think we weren’t going to make it to his show, we made sure one of us would record it. Our Sunday night is not going to be the same any more. I missed him already. Still sad. Thank you Anthony for giving us your all. Rest In Peace.
des895 I had the same response.
des895 I think it’s harder for people who like someone’s public persona, because thats only one aspect of themselves that they allow us to see. Like we were only allowed to see Robin Williams as an actor, so we assumed that that was who he was at all times, making it seems so confusing when someone so visibly happy was actually sad. We all wear certain masks with people and only open up to the ones we trust, so even with close ones maybe you could be the one receiving the layered treatment or the vulnerable one
Me me me me me me.. me me me memememeeme me me me me... I guess narcissism is just a normal
Trait with people now
b flower what fuck you talking about. I will save you seat in hell loser
REST IN PEACE ANTHONY......
never be another like him. he passed through our lives and we are all better for it.
Anyone else really gonna miss his voice? It was good...the way he spoke, the tone. RIP man....such a shame. Life is already so short. But, I suffer from depression and anxiety that is stable with meds, music, love of my children, support, and most of all, I try to be kind to myself, mentally. Cause ALOT of things and ppl in this world are not so kind...
Hope you will find a way to cure your depression! If you like podcasts you can listen to " The hilarious world of Depression" where people who have dealt with depression are talking about their experience,it is informative and funny.(I get it on Spotify) Also for anyone here who is reading this: Do not hesitate to get professional help, depression is serious and it is ok to seek help. You would not self-medicate a broken arm or leg,-and similarly depression is an illness which can be treated by medical/therapetic professionals.
J Gildz i have a full on crush on that man. His swagger, dry sense of humor, his "i don't give a fuck" mentality and how much he just really loved cultures. I watched every single episode of every single show he’s created, and it truly hit me in the gut and made my eyes water. I was honestly heartbroken .
I suffer from depression and while I do imagine myself dying, I don’t want to die. So I completely understand where your coming from. Don’t ever lose the light that’s been keeping you going. ❤️
DANIxDANGER I so agree. He was so manly yet so intelligent, So hot!!! So cool! So sexy! I want him back!
J Gildz praise you, stay strong and brave. I don't know you and admire you.
Laverne Johnson Well aren’t you a bit brash. He did heroin decades ago before quitting
He was a class on his own. Chef. Philosopher. Traveler. Complicated genius. Drunk and Druggy. but above all a man with a passion for life that was contagious ...truly devastating that he gave up his passion for life by ending his own. Only somebody with deep and dark depression can understand the choice he made. Do not judge him, depression makes you a person who sees NO LIGHT at all. He reached a point where he couldnt take anymore of life. I understand this feeling. I am always suicidal its just a matter of degree. Right now I feel like 30% suicidal but I have been up to 90%. This can change from one week to the next.
I will miss this man immensely. A true loss to the world.
Mentallo: Take care of yourself and pay no attention to the scummy comments from the trolls.
MaryAnn Brown Nah. He was racist old fuck.
He was even open about White people genocide.
ruclips.net/video/GKZpqwhJUbs/видео.html
+MaryAnn thankyou, lovely soul :-)
Okay Lmfao isn't it crazy and he was white lol what a loon
mentallo don't justify an action which in his own words he referred to as selfish. and please don't tell those who have come through as being unable to understand. By that definition, since you are here to enlighten us, you must not understand it either.
He made a choice
It's called free will.
He deeply wounded see those he claimed to love the most.
Fascinating man.
Not a hero.
And then Cooper choose to honor him by showing an episode on the Dark side of Berlin.
So ironic...that it's not.
He got me through some dark times. this breaks my heart.
Exploration Inspiration
Great that he might have helped you but the truth is he was a pedophile whom was going to be put in prison. He’s connected to Weinstein and many other creeps! Do some research
A777 you sir are an idiot
Couldn't agree more. A sad day, indeed.
oh for fuck's sake, read a book. Any book, really. Just read one.
"idiot" doesn't seem to cover it, somehow, but it'll do for now.
My father took his life in the same way. It’s nice to watch someone be remembered so fondly that went the same way. Everyone deserves to be remembered for what made them special.
The world's greatest story teller didn't leave a note.
4GUESTS he left a note about how he wanted his body marinated and cooked at 350.
gene tillman You're going to hell.
depression is hell no note will explain
Notes change nothing.
except he DID leave a note. it was in the room near his body.
I am speechless we lost a great person, my greatest condolences to this family
@ Pete bauman and @ Scroogle, I am just giving my condolences.
M Z great people dont go.killing themselves!
Agreed. Why didn't god take rosie o,donnell instead or that shit breath stinking propagandist Fareed. i Actually liked bourdain
As Fareed accurately described Anthony, he was a "cultural ambassador." He made the world a little more relatable, and a little less foreign.
Robbie Backpacking LMFAO 😂😂😂😂 unless you're white! He was a racist twit
No, he didn't do that. He was a hater. Nasty person.
still watching some of Bourdain's shows in 2021 parts unknown and no reservations. RIP Tony
As I watch this in 2020, tears trickle down my cheek.. A true pioneer that inspire all to except the different when one world collide.
I am not a big TV guy, except when it comes to travel shows. Bourdain's show was unlike any other travel show. It gave me a feeling of closeness and Anthony was raw. It is a big loss. One that is hard to understand ...
R.I.P. Anthony Bourdain. He seemed like a guy that would be great to be around.
I'd have loved to have gone for a few beers and some street food with him.
oh hell ya....I'll miss him like a good friend
J Schultz
I agree, I don't know much about Mr Bourdain, but he seemed to be an interesting and fun man.
He is right about eating food when overseas. It's important to most cultures. The only time I completely balked was when offered a sheep's eye in Turkey, when I was 19!
Steve C stfu
Steve C type chaos agent and sewer rat are now smearing good courageous hero who fought real fights against rapey giant Weinstein and exposed himself to MOSSAD grade professional hit men. Always follow TrumpRussiaMercer thugs' projections. Child-trafficking Trump gestapo people pre-emptively called former FLOTUS Hillary child trafficker. Now they are calling MeToo figurehead Bourdain a "pedo" ---- which means, real powerful pedophile was after Bourdain. But that would be too obvious to be considered a conspiracy theory.
#4theLoveOfBourdain WE WILL REMEMBER!
Still miss him. I only knew him as others did via his onscreen adventures and his unique narrative and voice but I came to treasure his perspective and the glimpses of the world he gave us in his travels. The hurt is still a little raw, especially as I watch this again. Godspeed, Anthony.
Damn we lost a good one. I looked up to Anthony and his way of thinking and having an open mind. I always like traveling and experiencing new things and when I found out about Bourdain I felt a connection. You will be missed Anthony Bourdain may you rest in peace and my condolences for the family.
Encourage our youth to use heroin early.....
“Be like Tony, kids......”
I feel a shot through my heart. I did NOT know AB through his travels but I did know AB through his empathetic comments on an array of topics on twitter and it wasn't much of a week ago that I tweeted to him that through those comments I had become a HUGE fan. I think the world mourns today together for an outstanding human being who at the same time was as normal as you & me. Peace&love to AB. Rest easy friend.
I was never affected by a celebrity's death like Anthony Bourdain's, this one is painful. In these troubled and divided times he was a beacon of hope for me, through his medium he made me feel that there are no bad races, that one should open their hearts and minds to other cultures. He made me feel that it's going to be okay, he was one of the good ones. Now he's gone, and it really hurts. I never knew him personally, but if there's an after life, I hope to share a beer with him, sitting on plastic stools as we eat barbequed pork impaled on bamboo skewers, and share a smile or a bout of laughter. I'll miss you Bourdain.
how about sharing cocaine or heroin or LSD with him ? he was good at that
More like good riddance, Bourdain bashed America in many of his videos and he joked about poisoning our President. The guy was a piece of shit.
@stabinghobo57, I' visited your channel and saw that you're a Fox supporter, and most likely someone that hates liberal ideas. Why come here? You actually came here to troll among people that grieves this man's passing. Are you that disgusting?
me as well. he was so real. its like we all " hung out" with him.
@Squeakers CNN isn’t an exclusive news network just for liberals, It’s for all Americans. Anthony Bourdain was a arrogant prick who constantly talk down about America when he visited other countries and he was a drug addicted. Don’t understand why people are praising this guy for doing next to nothing. Just a rich prick trying other peoples foods.
I adored Anthony Bourdain’s genuine zest for life and deep desire to connect and learn from multiple cultures - he displayed incredible enthusiasm for exploring the world whilst being a fabulous story teller. Wonderful tribute. RIP.
Even though I didn't know him personally. I felt like he was a friend that shared his passion for food and the world we live in. I normally don't get upset when I hear about celebrity deaths. But, I feel like I really lost a friend. Tony, I hope you are at peace now. You have inspired so many to travel the world and eat what the world has to offer.
People, Don't be afraid to try something that might be out of your cpmfort zone. Be as adventurous as Tony Bourdain and live life to is fullest.
This is a lovely post. Thankyou +Jason
+Jason Sandler A breath of fresh air to see such a beautiful and respectful post!! Thank you!!
Same. I honestly don't remember crying over any other celebrity death (though I have been deeply saddened by them, of course), but I can't stop crying for some reason. I thought today I'd get by without tears, but this piece was very moving, and brought me right back. Anthony really was a special person.
Moment of silence for Bourdain.
And to all the people who have come here to post toxicity and hate, I offer a moment of silence for you as well. You are truly, truly beyond help.
R Q Truly sad. Even Donald offered some kind words and respect.
He may be a corrupt criminal, but I wonder if Donald really, truly understands the actual evil within so many of his loyalists.
Steve C I offer my honest prayers for you, to someday be purged of the evil, hatred, and blindness that fill your heart and mind.
Peace and love be with you, my friend.
And to all who see Steve's comment, do not insult him. Do not hate him. Pray for him, if praying is what you do, and wish him peace and love.
Steve C citation really fucking needed
The alt right trolls aren't dead yet, so you gotta kill em before the moment of silence.
root Nah. When they scream hatred and vomit bile in your face, offer them peace, love, and friendship in return. At least on this video. Do it for Bourdain.
And besides, it really fucks with them when you respond that way 😉
Beautiful tribute to a remarkable man
I always end up watching this tribute around the same time every year since his death reflecting on how he touched the world. I also like to picture Anthony Bourdain and former Sous-Chef Carlos Garcia running the kitchen line together again in the afterlife! Thank you for all the memories and life lessons, may you rest in peace.
......one of the GREATEST journalist, story teller and brilliant person in TV history. Life really sucks to lose a person like you. RIP
MZ LYJ anagabrie
USA THE GREAT ....I forgive you the great one!
USA THE GREAT ....a guy like Anthony B. makes your county GREAT, for sure not you. Have a soul at least to respect the passed ones.
I am heartbroken and devastated.
80sGirl Asante buck up buttercup,he did not off himself.
80sGirl Asante me too :(
80sGirl Asante Me 3!😱
You have too much invested in someone you dont know. Get out of your moms basement and get some sun.
I hope he finds peace. These will be difficult times for family. Amazing how one person can have a presence in so many lives around this world.
Finds peace? He’s a rotting corps. He’s not gonna find anything
I hope your mom finds peace.
Brendan Casey just like how YOU haven’t found kindness
Boy Bye he’s a coward who left behind an 11 year old girl. Stop glorifying weak individuals
Brendan Casey I don’t think suicide is quite so straightforward mate. I understand how you feel, but you may be looking at a complex issue with an overly simplistic, black and white perspective. In any case, it’s absolutely terrible that he was driven to the point where he took his own life, and absolutely terrible that the loved ones he’s left behind now find themselves having to metaphorically pick up the pieces...
I come back to this video, years after his passing, and all I've ever loved about the man shines in every video, every episode, and every other chef that he ever shared a meal with. The great Marco Pierre White, Masa Takeyama, Eric Ripier. All of them honor him as a great influence to budding and young chefs. An icon for not only being humble, but for being genuine and authentic. And most importantly, being an enthusiastic and loving friend, who wanted nothing but peace, understanding, and equality between all cultures and all people. Someone who could always make you love and laugh around others, regardless of background or origin. Someone who thrived and existed to bring everyone together and remind them to take in the smallest things and live in the moment to fall in love with the little moments with others.
I miss you, Anthony. I can never express how much of an influence you always were to me, in the kitchen and out. I can't express in words how much you inspired me and everyone about life. How I felt like I was traveling with you, side by side. And to so, so many others. Words can't express how many people, young and old, you taught humility, understanding, passion, and love to. Across countless generations, peoples, cultures, beliefs, and nationalities. I hope you find solace and embrace in your afterlife, and I hope you know how loved you always were. I'm sorry if you felt alone in the end.
Rest in the sweetest peace, Anthony Bourdain. Your legacy will never be able to be matched, and your personality will always be missed across the globe. Much love ❤️
Thank You Anderson Cooper for sharing this beautiful tribute to your friend Anthony Bordain. I too loved watching his shows.
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Anthony. I am heartbroken for all who loved him too. R.I.P. Anthony. Much love.💕. Thank you Anderson you are a beautiful soul too.
His honesty pissed me off, made me think and feel. I would not seek out his shows but would always watch them when I came across them. One of the most captivating humans on the planet. Thank you, Anthony, for showing us the world and helping us to see it's beauty through your eyes. Hope you found what you were looking for.
I can't believe it's been 3 years. The silence is deafening. Try as they might, others cannot replicate him or the experience of watching him because they are not the same as him . . .. they don't have his compassion down through his soul to his toes . . .. nor the humility he had when interacting with the regular people in the world. Everyone except some competitors felt like he was their/our friend. So yes, Anthony, you live still in our hearts.
I feel exactly the same. He came from hospitality background, so he deeply appreciated hospitality, no matter how or where it was offered, he accepted it humbly, said thanks and enjoyed it (or at least, pretended to). I come from a family of chefs, most of my relatives either own restaurants or hotels or work in them. He was one of us, and I felt like loosing an older brother. Still miss him and his unique way with words and people. Chefs rule.
I have all his No Reservations episodes on my ipod video. It was my favorite go-to thing to watch when I needed to burn thru an hour on the subway. I can say 100% that I am a NYC foodie because of Tony. I had my then-girlfriend-now-wife's first date dinner at Les Halles because Tony had worked there. I dreamt of meeting him one day.
You are a true fan...wish you could of met him in person :-(
And I think he'd be proud to know that. He influenced our way of looking at food and culture so much. As a couple cooking together, as individual people cooking, going out and experiencing new places we've never been to. Someone posted on a social media site [can't remember who, which site, I have baby brain right now] the best way to pay tribute to Anthony is to go out, spend time adventuring somewhere new, trying new things, and eating amazing food. Really tasting what life has to offer. And I think that's all we can do
MrSpeedyAce here’s to hoping for an afterlife where you get to meet him face-to-face and share in the culinary delights from many parts unknown.
Must try to check out all his works now.☺️ Thanks for sharing this.
I tried and love durian fruit because of his show! I eat at Katz Deli anytime I can because of Tony, and whenever I would have out-of-towners visit, I'd take them to Katz and show them a clip of Tony eating there. I always get the Tony classic: pastrami on rye with mustard, sour pickles and a Dr. Brown's cream soda (HIGHLY recommend it). There are few celebs that have hit me hard with their deaths. Alan Rickman was another one who shocked me when he passed. But Anthony Bourdain had me in utter shock. Like Adam Richman tweeted, "Damn it Tony....why?" That's all I think about now. I ate last year at Eric Ripert's 3-michelin restaurant Le Bernardin because I saw Eric on Tony's show and I loved their bromance. I read that Eric was the one who discovered Tony dead. That's horrible!!! We lost an icon for sure.
RIP Anthony, may you be in a better place. Nice tribute Anderson. Very sad and a shock he took his life, a big character who overcame so much and brought so much to people, a person you’d love to chat with over a meal. Thoughts and prayers with his daughter and all his loved ones.
How sad that someone who seemed to have it all, apparently did not.
Sometimes all is just a bit to much
Depression does not discriminate
Nicholas Cat - But suicide does.
He suffered depression, unless you went through depression you and no will understand what Bourdain went through.
I came across your very precious video of Messrs. Anderson Cooper and Anthony Bourdain and I could not help being teary eyed. I have followed his adventures around the world and Mr. Bourdain has a heart of gold and a heart that wants to love the different cultures and food of this world. I still have not come to accept that he is physically gone but he will always have a place in my heart.
what a tragedy....so sorry to his family he left behind. great tribute to your friend, Cooper xo
Texas thunder
..should be " TEXAS AIR HEAD. JERK!
Donna Perry Yeah but wasn’t he an alleged white supremacist? I heard that he took part in some kkk meet ups some time in his life.
Why so many hanging this week? Check the connection between them. Clinton
Donna said something great and the chat got mad? people somebody just died and one of you is worrying about liberals having problems. Not appropriate for the situation.
Is Cooper aso drugs addicted ?
My children were upset about the news the only show we enjoy watching together..his insights so great he uniquely capture the essence oftime,place,peole,culture & season as his best food spices,then hand it over the bourdain way. plate of wisdom!
As soon as the clip of Anthony Bourdain started playing, I continued crying.
Life is precious. I love you all.
I love you too baby 😘
Matthew Smith -_-
Life is precious but feeling trapped inside depression is not easy. 10 years battling depression. I'm 26.
"Life is precious"
Bourdain didn't agree.
Give some extra love to those leaving nasty, despicable comments. They definitely need it even though they probably don’t deserve it.
I didn’t know him, but this hurt. I remember getting up that morning at four am getting ready to start my day. I turned on the tv to cnn, and there was his photo, and I sat and cried. At that time my job was case manager for people who suffer from mental illness, and substance abuse. I know the loneliness they feel, and it broke my heart to know that he died alone hurting. 🙏🙏🙏
Check on your friends. Check on your family. Check on your work colleagues. You never know what's going on beneath the surface.
And don't beat yourself up if you've done all that and couldn't save someone who didn't want to be saved.
RIP Mr Bourdain
Rochelle Holland Amen to that madam.
My boyfriend committed suicide in February and I felt so guilty because I should have known...we talked to each other everyday, in person and over text, and I still didn't know he was struggling. It hurts so much.
Thank you so much for saying this because I know so many people who have struggled and didn't get help because nobody took notice to them.
Becca Lynne ,I'm so sorry for your loss! My father in law committed suicide in front of me and my husband. It was so traumatic. Unfortunately a couple years later, my husband (only love and high school sweetheart ) was robbed and murdered while I was 7 months pregnant. I've had my fair share of trauma. Please don't blame yourself. I even felt like you. You go through different stages of feelings when you're hit with it. Stay strong please and have great friends and family support. Unfortunately I didn't have family support. I had my in laws, but they were 3 states away. Please stay strong and we all need to talk more about depression and suicide. We can use our voices to help. I do about depression, suicide and help victims of crime families and STAY STRONG! xo
Tertiary Trump Derangement syndrome is liberal business. Deal with it yourselves. Your illnesses are of your own making.
I experience it every day listening to the maudlin cant of self-righteous preening liberals like Anderson Pooper.
Hard to believe he would do such a thing. Anthony just filmed a show in Armenia. I'm sorry but I believe it wasn't suicide. A person like Anthony has seen the world he knows better. In my heart, I know he knew better than to commit suicide. RIP my friend ❤💙💛from Armenia.
I learned so much by watching him. Depression is a silent killer. Looking at him doing interviews his eyes did not look happy, it seemed he was trying to convince himself that life is good. 😢😢😢
Dean Anderson because he was high on drugs
Every so often when I haven't cried in a while, I come watch this video to remind me that life is precious
wow, some people really think that depression is just “feeling a little down.” It’s living everyday with no matter how much or little you have and still not feeling happy or satisfied and feeling constantly drained - its a disease. If you think that you had depression and just got over it, then good for you, but life isn’t the same for everyone.
Andrew Simoes Tell me about I think of it daily. Been depressed for years. It’s something pills don’t make better. I truly believe there’s no cure. If I didn’t have my fur babies I would have done it a long time ago. I couldn’t leave them because I’m all they have and no one would take care of them like u do. My lil guy suffers separation anxiety and when I left for a month he literally chewed all the fur off his leg. No way I could leave him for good. Some days are bad but I just try to stay busy. It’s the worst disease that’s mentally draining. Plz pray for me.
If you truly believe there is no cure, then how could you ever expect to feel better? You see the conundrum you have put yourself in? Yes, pills won't make it better, only you can figure out what will make it better, and then do it whatever it takes to make it better.
thehotsixer1 You have no clue how it feels, you can’t just change it, it’s not that simple or I wouldn’t have manic depression to begin with. All I can do is Learn to Live with it through my Animals who depend on me. That’s the only thing that makes me function daily, they are my therapy and this is why I don’t talk to my family much because they think there’s a easy solution when that is totally WRONG!!! You can’t understand unless you are in the same boat as me!
Some people don't understand the difference between situational depression and clinical depression.
It's sad what people think,depression is a blind disease, I use to be that happy,funny guy everyone liked,but somehow I ended up having clinical depression and gad(generalized anxiety disorder),I have not gone out in 12 years,once in awhile I would but end up leavi g after an hour,I'm 50 now I was a tuff tattooed guy,now I just struggle,I cry for everything and cry for nothing,I was very active now I don't wanna do anything, if not for my wife and son and my parents, I would end my life,but till this day I have to put my happy mask on and be strong,being depressed and having depression are two different things,I hope people read this so they have some understanding and could support someone they know with depression,I do take meds they help a little but I certainly am not the person I use to be,to all with depression be strong,gotta go I'm getting man tears typing this comment.
Thank you, Anderson. Anthony inspired me in more ways than I can express. He will be deeply missed... especially for moments like this: 3:13
This is such a tragedy. People have asked why did he not think of his daughter? It is so difficult to explain to people who have not been that ill. When I experience really bad episodes of suicidal depression in my suicidal depressive thinking nearly everybody in my family - child, mother, brother sister in law, father and friends - would be far better off in the world with me dead. In that moment of severe illness I know that for a fact. When I am in periods of recovery I know that it is a part of the illness. It is an awful illness to have.
Hopefully people can learn from such sad episodes that the only shame is in stigmatising mental ill health condemning people who are ill.
Anthony Thomas ++ I am so sorry you have this debilitating illness. Please don't lose hope, keep fighting. The expression "there's light at the end of the tunnel" it's true, but it is real only if you believe. I've been through some dark times myself and i found prayer helpful as well. It gave me srtrength to not give up.
Thank you for your thoughts. As for prayer - I'm a devout believer in cats and the DiviniKitties have helped keep me alive. I heard a joke told by a depression sufferer. That light at the end of the tunnel is actually a train coming straight at you.
100% agreed.
I remember watching this live and I was completely in shock and broken. Miss you Tony!
Same
My brother who was a therapist who passed away used to say that each of us is a walking mosaic, no one part of our lives larger than another. When I think of people like Anthony Boudain who ended their lives prematurely, in his case probably due to suicide, I like to think of that quote, and remember him more for him traveling the world and teaching others about it than for his death and how he died. I have no idea about his poliical leanings, and I know he wasn't perfect and had shortcoimngs as we all do, and what t do know is he opened up the world to many thru his travels and vulnerability, and I appreciate that! God bless his friends and family, and may God bless you and keep you!!
*political
*shortcomings
I can't even watch Anderson Cooper's tribute to Bourdain, I'm just going to be overcome by extreme sadness. CNN was running episodes of Parts Unknown yesterday, I quickly changed the channel. I just couldn't watch it. Damn, I'm tearing up right now.
He was a blue collar type of guy, A breath of fresh air from your typical Hollywood person. He was Humble,smart,and interesting. He will be missed
alexander valaris not too blue collar. He wasn't a fan of Trump.
You can be blue collar and not support trump
Silent Lee yes I was waiting for that exact response but majority are. I'm a blue collar worker only one guy we work with is a liberal and we get on him for that lol.
Sort of.... read his upbringing. He was a prep school kid. He attended Vassar College for a few years, later going to the Culinary Arts Institute of America. But, never mind socioeconomic class crap. Believe me it is crap, despite that particular cultural elements in an environment may be influential (or not). I take it that you mean "blue collar type of guy" in that he has that lack of pretentiousness, and he seriously frequented a lot of eateries that are just that.... Good stuff! He's not a snob. But he's all about quality and adventure. He's got that rugged individualist attitude. He's kinda punk like The Ramones he liked so much. Very nice character, true!
Missed? Ahhhh, for sure!!!!
I still haven't gotten over this death.
It's ok. You're not the only one. It's a strangely comforting feeling. I've been sad over many celebrity deaths, but Bourdain's was so different. I still feel such profound sadness over his suicide. I never knew the man, but I feel like I lost a friend.
What is the cause of death?
“I’ll try everything, I’ll risk everything, I have nothing to lose”. Anthony Bourdain
death sex hanging
DreamAngel123 PFW what about his daughter
"I'd serve poison to Trump"
"I'm not letting white people into my restaurant" -racist treasonist Antony Bourdain
