T0mShane Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 This one sucks. This is probably the guy who taught me more about what the world is actually like than anyone or anything else. I’m a huge pussy about travel and would never go to 98% of the places he went to, but he did it with balls and an empathy and a genuine sense of discovery that made his show and writings incredible. Some celebrities die and it blows, but it’s like, eh. But this is one of those that you really feel the void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GATA Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I think the most difficult part of travelling is getting on the plane. You're giving a lot of credibility to something you're not operating yourself. Other than that seeing other countries is really cool. I watched an interview not so long ago about him dealing with his depression while he was a frustrated chef. It's crazy to think he was on the verge back then! It's really sad he couldn't change the ultimate outcome; especially since he leaves behind a 10 or 11 year old kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Not that familiar with him at all TOm but I'm sorry for your loss. Felt this way when Jimmy Clark died in 68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS17 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 As a young guy from NYC in the food industry with a strong interest in travel, this one hits hard. He was a role model for me. His sense of adventure, his wit, his storytelling and eloquence, his open mind. Of all the famous people in the city, Bourdain was always the guy I had hoped to serve one day more than anyone else. This is the first celebrity death that has moved me to tears. Rest in Peace, Tony. I hope the demons are quiet now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet_Engine1 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Its crazy how so many people just lose all hope. I thought Bourdain was a bit of a pretentious ass, but he was funny being one. His episode in Russia was a great show. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel for any kid that loses his dad and I've lost someone very close to me to suicide.....just an awful, ugly and helpless situation.

I also loved that he embodied the aesthetics of the CBGB era in New York for us old punk rockers. Mental health in this country is in a really a sad state.

HighPitch Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 How could u not like the guy? I am here in my summer home in croatia. He did an episode in croatia where he went to a tuna farm in the adriatic, for drunk and loves it. I am lookimg out my window right now and have a view of this farm, even though its dark. The bourdaine thing is all people, no matter where, despite politics, only really want to provide for their families, have some fun drunky time and enjoy life RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kleckineau Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 My son and I on more than one occasion while knocking down a few and getting philosophical have discussed what people, past or present, we would enjoy hangin with, pulling an all nighter, getting a bit lit up and having them in an open and unguarded conversation. Bourdain was alway at or near the top of a short list. We would come away from the convo agreeing rogues are much deeper and seriously more interesting humans and that academics are a snoozefest. So sad to see this man gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
