Anthony was a man who truly understood the beauty of going to a bar at 3 or 4pm (the magic hour, in my opinion), posting up, enjoying a pint or 4, and quietly settling up and slipping away when the after-work crowd starts to shuffle in.
@@jamarjuniel4233 sing me a song, piano man. For real, though, there's a certain "vibe" about it (for lack of a better term), especially in a different city where you don't know anybody.
I’ve only went once or twice at this time but I definitely felt the “magic” it was a completely different bar experience. I wish I could do it more often lol
Without a doubt Anthony was Punk Rock Star of the culinary arts. That is a fact. It’s 2021 and he is still more than just relevant. He is truly missed. Indeed.....
Really miss these days. Working in kitchens and getting out late and doing this all night was how life was lived. Anthony and his shows were a freaking report on a lot of our lives. He lived the life and talked the talk.
I was working in the financial district when Tony passed and I would pass the closed down Les Halles on John Street while walking to the train home every night. The shrine to Tony that people set up outside the restaurant will stick with me forever. RIP Legend.
Bourdain was simply the best. Every episode of anyone of his shows felt like a one on one conversation between you and a good buddy who had seen and experienced a lot and wanted to share those experiences with you. I feel like I'm getting insider knowledge on the world from a guy who threw caution to the wind and made it his business to get that information out. Most of all, he didn't bullshit you, if there was a TV personality facade, I swear it was hidden so damn well behind that overwhelming feeling of "real-ness" I couldn't and still don't see it. Rest in peace Anthony Bourdain.
Anthony is the guy you hope to meet when you start your cooking career, Because he is the reality of this carrier, and then some , Your awsome Anthony, RIP BROTHER.
14:42 The "Gracias Guey" at the Mexican cook made me teared up. He truly loved his Hispanic family. He was our voice. We missed him so much, oh God... 😭🙏🏼🗽🇺🇸🦅
A Cook's Tour is what introduced me to Anthony Bourdain, and it was downhill from there. If you haven't, do yourself a favor and read his books! Hands down, one of my fave writers!
The general rule for Bourdain shows is that the further you go back, the more fun Tony seems to be having. This little 1990s Food Network experiment is my favorite Bourdain series. It's just a very smart guy, excellent on camera, trying stuff, and trying food from around the world - a world, btw, that hasn't begun to weigh on his shoulders yet.
This was actually filmed in 2000-01 and aired in 2002-03 but his first television stuff. I agree this was classic Tony, said what he wanted and was real true person but he was never an ass. Fame hit Anthony, it was different and difficult for him after the powers that be took there piece of him. He was an original. He made travel food television fun and hip. Not pretentious stuffy and boring like some other shows. RIP 🙏 AB really miss him on television.
Because this is a light-hearted walk-eat-talk-drink vlog, before Tony learned about all the horrors of this world and that it can disappear pretty soon, whether it is global heating, pollution, wars, overfishing or nuclear holocaust, before he learned that humans are the worst and despicable species. And THEN the me-too thing happened.
That bench Tony was sleeping on at 7:48 is one of my favorite bike ride lunch spots when riding into Manhattan. Great view of the Brooklyn Bridge. Great minds think alike.
Back when i started going out to bars my friends wanted to go to "theme" bars and horrible night clubs, i hated that whole experience. Thats when i started drifting from them and going out to taberns and bars, my hometown Tijuana had a freaking bunch of them, i just loved going out and having a real experience, drinking a cold beer in the bar, listening to good music from the jukebox, talking to friends and going for tacos or pizza late at night. I can appreciate Anthony and his taste in bars and drinks plus i like how he said "Gracias Wey" to the cook.
really miss this guy. no bs, no pretentiousness, down to earth, yet poetic in his own way. like a cool older cousin that you'd wanna hang with, but you know you'd be pissing him off if you did.
RIP Anthony. I wish you would still be around. For whatever reason you decided to leave us, your legacy is well fermented. I appreciate your writing and your videos. Thank you for your work 🙏
Brilliant viewing. Anthony surely brought us with him into a mesmerizing world. He’s take on eating and drinking was so unique. No Bull just honesty . Rip , gone but never forgotten 🇮🇪🇮🇪
When I was a chef , our crew used to pound alcohol , the more u can handle, the more u were respected, not a healthy lifestyle, but in ur 20’s it was fun, and hangovers by noon were gone.
@@wowTasteThis working in a restaurant is whole other thing when it comes to drinking heavily. Imagine getting off at 1:30 as a bartender and only having till 2:45 to get blasted. There have been times I have killed 15 beers, an equal amount of straight booze in shots, did a line, smoke 3 blunts and then went home and drank more until I fell asleep. You then wake up the next afternoon and work your ass of and do it again and again and again.
When I was a chef we used to pound the booze and marching powder. How else do people thing you can work 18 hours a day regularly? I got to head chef, which ofr a female 20 years ago wasn't easy nd then I quit.
What a great show... Tony knew how to capture the public's imagination...Why because he was a regular guy. He has inspired me to do things I would have never done. Thank you Tony.
Tony was the coolest. Great storyteller. Loved his honesty and sense of humor. Genuine soul I am grateful for your stories. Tony has a great book called Kitchen Confidential really good I recommend it to yall.
I miss ya, brotha. Born and raised in NYC (and still here), spent my youth going downtown from 1996 on. I forgive you for being from jersey, mainly because you truly understood what made NYC so special. Food was the least of the factors as to why I followed your shows.
I tended bar for a decade and this is all so true. I also agree, no karaoke or live music during my drinking time. I like the option of engaging in conversation or keeping to myself. A good bartender knows when you need one or the other.
AB can tell a story, create a vision like no one can -will always be a hero. Being in the business make him even more appreciated. Used to go down to the corner bistro meet my favorite bartender and grab one of those famous burgers, shoelace fries, shot of tequila and bud -though the pint was the favorite. Would see a chef slapping the beef into proper shape, throw into the salamander and fries followed. When kitchen closed would see the mice danced in the kitchen floors though there was a cat sleeping lazily among the booze ten feet away. Good food and terrific crowd just a block off of Hudson street, and a couple steps from white horse tavern. Them were the best of times. Thanks Dermid, thanks Anthony.
I'm loving this. I adore returning to the era when culinary food "reality shows" were still in their infancy. There was "The Restaurant" on NBC, and honestly, I didn't even know about "A Cook's Tour" on The Food Network. But I love this, regardless; low-budget, low-brow, and a little schlocky by the standards of 2022. Anthony Bourdain took the industry from primal to perfection. And he perfected it. #RIPAnthonyBourdain
I was / still (sort of) am a bartender in downtown NYC. The guy at 15:22 with the ketchup bottle used to be one of my regulars. Large man, booming voice with a lot of stories. He still looks pretty much the same and I'm not surprised he's been roaming West Village bars since this aired
@@Esundevil This was before Tony perfected his craft. He certainly was not the writer or presenter he was destined to become. I believe his teams was also not reaching their full potential, yet, at the time.
I never have and probably never will be a line cook in my life but Tony made me imagine being exactly that and feeling pride in it. It seems like a tough but cool job and I wish you the best, dude.
He knew he wasn’t the greatest cook but nobody spoke like him and you couldn’t take your eyes off him. The early Cook Tour programmes were the grittiest and finest.
I literally just started watchin his episodes bout a yr ago but I miss I literally just started watchin his episodes bout a yr ago but I miss Anthony, he seems so real n legit...RIP Anthony...🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Im extending dry january to february. Dont know why but ive been drinking way to much for someone that has 2 kids. This weekend it's a 'drinking weekend' and i've been prepping the whole week. I finally ended up here as the final exam. Thanks for your wisdom Tony, cheers!
I don't drink anymore but when I was a younger Chef the best way to start ha, and end a long shift at the restaurant was a good creamy pint of Guinness!! Aaaahhh the good old days! Ok what the heck after watching Tony slam a few of the dark ones I may have to go and have a couple in his honor! Love ya Chef!
I have not worked in the restaurant industry per se, but on both coasts and in Europe I have worked in events and PR. Every now and then I would be invited to tag along with the after-work crowd and it was always a joy. From NOLAN to Manhattan to London, and even the LA scene... I'd honestly rather do this even just once a year then the typical pub crawl with 9-5ers every day of the week. Truly wonderful to be with a crowd he just needs to wind down even though it may be 3 or 4 a.m.! Cheers to all!
My bar in college was O'Hanlon's on 14th and 1st ave. Tony would have loved it. It was an old school irish bar with a couple characters pouring pints and the only times it was ever packed were weekend mornings during soccer games. I miss O's all the time.
@14:46 Tony shows so much for the restaurant world. We interact with so many groups of people, and especially kitchen. When that burger comes out, he says, "Gracias, juey." Like it's nothing. Like it's normal... Like it's close, and familiar. This is what we love about him from the restaurant industry. He's real in his response. Genuine. Like a lot of us are when grabbing a bite to eat after a shift.
All of those elements Anthony listed describes perfectly (my favorite bar) Earnestine and Hazel's in my hometown of Memphis,TN. Look it up, it's regarded as one of the best dive bars in the U.S.
Sad the proprietor committed suicide several years back. The place and the proprietor (Russell) are featured in the 2005 film ELIZABETHTOWN. In the DVD bonus segments, there's an expanded interview with him.
Same applies to my local haunt. Maybe not objectively, but for me I can't find a better fish'n chips or after night shift breakfast anywhere else in my town.
There was a club in Berlin that had telephones at each table, this was back in the 1970s. Numbers above the table. If you saw someone you liked, you gave them a call. It was about twice as many women as men in there and no man left unlaid!
“No man left unlaid” I find that hard to believe. Unless they fucked themselves than yea very possible. Still sounds like a chill place for introverts in that time.
Work in bars,clubs,restaurants ,hotel,from 86 to 2013,in NYC,miss the good times after work going out hang out with the people from the food and beverage industry ,some good crazy and funny history’s ! Haha,good times!
These are the places I miss from the aughts. I barely got to visit NYC during this time but I would give up almost everything to go back to these times
I so love his face when he is talking about the theme bars! I am sure the production crew deliberately took him to Billy Joel's Karaoke night. LOL But I SO love them. I hope that he is resting in peace.
One of very, very few people I actually miss. His complete and utter lack of pretense, his joie de vie, and his habit of jumping in feet first immediately made him one of the family wherever he might have landed.
Siberia Bar was one of the best bars in NYC, hands down. I worked in Midtown during my 20s and Siberia Bar was near my office and subway stop. I never saw Bourdain there but I've seen a lot of crazy stuff there.....and had a million great drinks and times there.
This is violently early 2000s and I love it.
Hahaha yes same
we had good aesthetic back there
@@jack_truffatore I miss the 2000’s so so much
2001 too late towers are still standing in many if these
"Isn't alcohol theme enough?" Another timeless classic from a true legend. ❤
Anthony was a man who truly understood the beauty of going to a bar at 3 or 4pm (the magic hour, in my opinion), posting up, enjoying a pint or 4, and quietly settling up and slipping away when the after-work crowd starts to shuffle in.
my favorite bar hour

Calm down Billy Joel

This episode perfectly captures the pre-social-media naughts. Very nostalgic
Especially the jungle that was in everything lol
He said on social media
@@phuckyoutube5927 hence the 'nostalgia' for pre-social media. Your comment makes me more nostalgic for it than ever.
Lol the episode is the story of loners and alcoholics.
@@rbu2136 that's what pre-social-media naughts were like. No joke.
This needs to become a thing again, this style of filming for docs and travel-style videos. I love the unapologetically rawness of it.
Without a doubt Anthony was Punk Rock Star of the culinary arts. That is a fact. It’s 2021 and he is still more than just relevant. He is truly missed. Indeed.....
Only celebrity I've shed a tear for when I heard they were gone.
no no hes not
That being said, he was also a bit of a dilettante.
He was until he went full political
Absolutely!
That got to be the best episode Tony ever did. I miss you Tony 😭
Amen to that.
When he got the burger from the cook. He responded to him the right way. Gracias guey. Brought smile to my face
Damn I didn’t catch that at first😂
That’s hilarious.
He knew the Cook was mexican, that was Tony.
It's pronounced "way" to all the other garbachos of the world
Really miss these days. Working in kitchens and getting out late and doing this all night was how life was lived. Anthony and his shows were a freaking report on a lot of our lives. He lived the life and talked the talk.
Still doing this today! Cheers!
Also walked the walk

This guy gets it.
Its not. I go to bars for live music, not to drink

hahaha I was just about to comment on that. I bet you not all chefs throw in the "guey"

As a former ap kid turned farmhand, why wasn't I taught guey
@@coreygolphenee9633 well Corey as a fellow Mexican myself I grant you the privilege to use guey with any Spanish speaking friends. 👑 🤴🏻
had to check comments to see if everyone else caught the casual "guey"
i can‘t explain how much this guy means to me. thanks for everything Tony! you had an impact on this world that is just still killin it. unbelievable.
What a treasure Tony was, I miss his wit and humor. RIP my brother.
One of the best writers of our time! His ability to connect with people is beautiful!

I miss him, Bourdain is an inspiration
So I tell you what...
so honor him - cook, drink, explore, wonderlust
That was a really rough day in the restaurant, he will always be one of American restaurants most Important inspirations.

So Uplifting.

One of very, very few people I actually miss. His complete and utter lack of pretense, his joie de vie, and his habit of jumping in feet first immediately made him one of the family wherever he might have landed.
What an outstanding episode!
He's right about a bar with good beer and decent food. It really is a moment of magic
Siberia Bar was one of the best bars in NYC, hands down. I worked in Midtown during my 20s and Siberia Bar was near my office and subway stop. I never saw Bourdain there but I've seen a lot of crazy stuff there.....and had a million great drinks and times there.
@Franz Klammer its in new orleans now. or was.
Talk about nostalgic -- I haven't heard anything about Bass Ale in a LONG time!
ME ENCANTABA LA CHARLA DE ANTHONY BOURDEIN, Q.D.
12:16 bro that bar really was ahead of its time
Anthony Bourdain was the man. He understood bars among so many more things.
Yes, he loved a good bar. Thanks for watching, Leonard!
Not many of these spots are still open sadly. Corner Bistro still hits hard deep in the night though!
