Anthony Bourdain A Cook's Tour: Season 2 Episode 5: Elements of a Great Bar 

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.

my favorite bar hour

well said

Calm down Billy Joel

@@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

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!

This guy gets it.

Its not. I go to bars for live music, not to drink

Its a private pleasure❤

Lmao yeah he was totally on acid the whole time

He was the Anthony Bordein of food.

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

@@andrulemon lmao I’m not a chef yet but as a cook I always do

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"

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

Still doing this today! Cheers!

Also walked the walk

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.

@@TinLeadHammer What did he have to do with "me too". I've not kept up with whatever is upsetting Twitter in the past decade.

well put!

Well said!

College is the same. Probably anyone in their early 20s...

@@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.

@@jakephillips6568 thanks for describing my life lol

The hangover being gone by noon is something I miss dearly about my 20s.

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.

6FT rule!!!

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.

The other 10 percent is fat

90/10 beef, David. The man knew what he was talking about.

Pretty lean

thank you for not writing "I bartended"

I won’t step foot in a bar unless one of my friends bands is playing one. Alcohol is a drug i only do at home

@@Ottophil sad

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.

@@Ottophil sorry for your loss.

It still stings.

Yep. I’ve got all his books. Made a few of his recipes.

R.I.P Anthony Bourdain. Still truly are a traveling legend.

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.

Wow! That's crazy. Thanks for sharing.

pure goosebumps.

:O

“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.

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.

You’re pipe riding tough on all these videos bro. Chillllllll

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!

No clothes in another city

This is a reality show?

He liked bars that allowed heroin

Enjoy, Mike!

Cheers mate!

This is literally the worst. It’s like the ran out of budget and just used old footage. Plus, all these are unoriginal, played out cliches.

@@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.

Thanks for watching, Patricio! Hope they were good memories.

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.

Soul Burger 🍔

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.

Same. Thanks for watching!

I loved beauty bar on the same corner I was the chef at the Winslow

Themed bars can be so fun!

Good times :)

Wouldn't have been a couple lol

Guey*

Yes, he does.

Pobre vato

Yes, he loved a good bar. Thanks for watching, Leonard!

@Franz Klammer its in new orleans now. or was.
