Kitchen confidential was a fantastic and touching read, like the man himself a refreshing truth.
Anthony Bourdone.
Too early ?
Too rubbish
I know what I’ll be re-reading this weekend.
Sad news.
:-(
This one has really winded me, I’m not sure why. RIP
For me it’s that for a time he was in the gutter but not only climbed out he soared. Seems to have grabbed life by the nuts. From the outside he looked to have good mental health.
His reportage of Iran was fantastic and was an eye opener. His criticism of US policy and propaganda was enlightening and courageous. Sadly missed..
I never followed him too closely – but for what its worth, this thread came up on my twitter feed pointing out that he wasn’t consistently critical of US propaganda, that in fact sometimes he was an outspoken advocate.

So you’re saying it’s an American conspiracy and wasn’t really suicide? Knew it!
Is that a Cathy Newman meme? Fair play Bob – 6 months down the line and you’re still gettin mileage out of it!
hmm. t a n w
RIP
Gutted. Dreadful news. Was a fan.
One of the greats
I loved his programmes
I loved the one in Harbin the best it was just so funny
He will be sadly missed by all that were not into the emperors new cloths cookery programmes
His programmes opened my eyes as a chef
A true great
I knew nothing about him. Which of his shows are best to watch? I’m very interested, always love a good, strong, chefs personality. I need to learn how to cook more dishes too
you’ll like his no bull approach, his intensity and practicality…at least I did
No reservations was I think his best
The guy was just so free of pretentious shit
I adored him
I assume the good food channel on discovery will pay homage by re running his shows which will be a real treat
Funny enough our new director general Dee Forbes of RTE I think brought his programmes to the discovery channel group when she was in charge
Maybe she might get RTE to air them they really are great
Only gettin into him recently.
Helluva human.
Sleep well Sir.
So saddened to hear of his death at only 61 years of age…..I eat in Les Halles many times going way back and every subsequent visit to NY until its closure a few years back.
Whatever about his politics or Travel programmes, his Les Halles Cookbook is a true favourite of mine, probably the most dishes Ive cooked from any book over the years….I urge anyone with a love of classic French Bistro cooking to check it out you’ll love his slant on recipes and use of language !
Tomorrow I’ll cook Onglet Gascon with Les Halles Fries in his honour…..may you rest in piece Mr. Bourdain.

Talk it out. Tell a friend.
RIP. Many memories.
Sad.
i only knew him by name, not really anything about him, but Twitter is full today of people telling really lovely stories about meeting him. rest in power, sir.
He was once asked, “what’s the hardest part of your job that no one knows?” “Loneliness,” he said. “I’m on the road about 250 days a year, and I stay in a lot of beautiful places and look out the window at a lot of beautiful views but I am usually alone.”
