RIP brother. Always wanted to meet you. Sorry it ended the way it did; it shouldnt have but it happened. You were liked by pretty much everyone you came into contact with and you left nothing but a positive mark. Rest in Peace Anthony.
We frequent our community college culinary school at least once a week during each semester. It is the closest real restaurant near me that me and my family can walk to. If you have not supported your local culinary school you have not lived and saved money at the same time.
been working in a kitchen for 5 yrs now. it has taught me a lot about people and respect. im a much better worker and I dont lose my shit when it gets rough. its a church.
Love Tony, miss him as much as I can miss somebody I never met, and I feel so terribly for his family and friends...but not all of us will make it to our natural end and if I'm one of those people, I want to be remembered for the happiness of what I was and not the sadness of what I no longer am
Damn, it still hurts to miss Tony. I adored his dark wicked sense of humor, his intelligence, his taste in music. The only older guy I've ever had a crush on. Like so many others here, I dreamed of having a beer (or 3) and amazing conversation with him. I was so devastated when I heard the news. I was in the midst of grieving the suicide of my big brother while withdrawing from benzos and trazodone, and fighting my own suicidal demons. If he couldn't hang in there, how the hell was I going to? It terrified me. I wonder if he knew how loved he was/is. I hope I get to hang out with him in heaven someday. And I really pray that his daughter is healing from this tragedy and knows how special and loved he is, and can feel his love with her always.
Sorry ya went through that... and glad ya had the strength and courage to continue fighting. Addiction is one of the hardest things to deal with.... especially when dealing w the loss of a loved one.
Benzo withdrawals are a bitch to deal with, but you now hopefully know that things get better. The biggest help to fight my own addiction was to completely change my routine. I was studying (sort of, mostly just using my student loans to buy drugs) and never really got anywhere. I hated studying so much that it kept me from being happy, but I was convinced that it was something you had to do to become successful in life. After a couple years I realized that I had to do find something else and decided to start working instead of studying. First job was shit and I got fired, but they pointed me towards a restaurant that needed a dishwasher. That changed my life; I realized I was going to be a cook. It was the first thing I ever did that gave me energy and intense fulfillment just doing dishes next to these guys. I'm very lucky to have found this when I did, a couple of months later and I would have completely given up on a normal life. I was on the verge of just accepting I was going to live my life as a junkie. You will find something that gives you energy and that will in turn give you the strength to keep going. I have no idea who you are, and you don't know anything about me either. But I hope you are doing well. Stay strong!
I am sick of people spewing their anger at Tony for killing himself. He did everything he wanted to do. At 61, he'd seen everything. Who the hell are we to judge ANYONE?
Thats crazy a rusty cast iron this is how you deal with one of those it happened once this chic came over and washed my I was like Noooo anyways she rusted it I was pissed... I fixed it by putting oil all over it and grease in it then you put it on low flame until the oil and grease is gone. Simple just grease it and oil it put on flame until done
Having standards doesn't make you a snob, the ambivalence and shoulder shrugging when it comes to what people do with food makes having standards even easier
49:07 the "9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB" dinner conversation bomb (no pun intended) is always such a downer to have to face it at the dinner table, I'm sure. Especially when they say Flight 93 was SHOT DOWN by the Happy Hooligans, and the firefighters were saying there were EXPLOSIONS in the building before it was demolished. And also how there was thermite pouring out of the side of the building. And then the wrong country got invaded. Hard to say where exactly the "crazy" actually inhabits out of all of the opposed and varying options.
@1:11:50 "When you get somebody like Mario [Batali] who uses their new power and celebrity to coerce and seduce people into eating these things..." Wow... This interview was in 2011... such foreshadowing.
I see a lot of the same comments here on how I felt when he died...if this guy touring the world eating amazing food and getting drunk in every nation can’t handle life, what does that say for us not living such an amazing life? His death was a shot across the bow for millions of his fans
i know that for me that so called antidepressants, SSRIs are a no-no, not for bi-polar, & i was only on them (Zoloft, 50mg per day) for 9 months, that was in 1997-8, not sure i was ever the same...
Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust. We all go for the final count eventually, intentionally or unintentionally, some of us with a life and some of us need to get a life, and some of us live a life and give it a good damn shake with massive risks and without a masterplan. The message is {Do whatever flows with 'no agendas, no questions, no expectations and no reservations'. Anthony amongst others lived a life to the MAX. No premeditated plans as it turned out and what a great ride. Indeed, interesting and no frills of wonderful segments and episodes.....to the very end. RESPECT the MAN. Keep the candle burning in the afterlife. GOD has the final say for all of us!
A band of merry misfits riding a wave of stress and anxiety like the surf pounding the shoreline on the North Shore. My second wife asked me why would you ever work in a business so chaotic and stressful?! my reply to her was because I’m a little fucked up. Ah the insanity of my youth.

I have been a Bourdain fan for years and remain one. I love his shows, but let's face it, when he professes eating well even in poverty, he's doing it while jet setting across the globe. lol. It is percisely this perceived freedom in material excess that excites people, not the thrill of eating well by cooking yourself using basic, inexpensive or "la cucina povera" ingredients.It's the thrill of choosing to eat poor man's food while indirectly letting everyone know you got the means to eat at the most expensive joints around the world. Which brings me to the next point as he often does in fact eat at those places. lmao. Then he returns to the street. Playing in the dirt while seemingly not getting dirty. I mean, when you really think about it, its classic 1% mentality. Privilege at its best. Good for you Tony. I'm waiting for the next episode.
Scott K The option of slumming for super is akin to a supermodel choosing to go to bed hungry at night, whereas many impoverished people have no choice.
@@rememberingtruth How? Can you tell me your opinion as to why he did it? Do you think it is because he thought he was a phony, and decided there and then, death?
This was funny...Bourdain goes off on his thing about eating well even if you don't have money. You can still make good food for yourself. Marion responds with "...oh yeah, I go to this one place in Denver...." Ya know, they live in NY.
"I went to Vassar" ... "so you were a smart kid, you can't get into an Ivy League school without being smart".......................... Vassar is not an Ivy League school smh
