Anthony Bourdain

The Queens one was fantastic.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Bucking my previous standard, I also loved the Newfoundland one. Apparently the Joe Beef guys are totally sober now, which is a sea change.

Oh shit! You guys are right that the Queens one is fantastic, forgot about that one. I know Ruddo is a big fan of the Nashville one, I should maybe watch that one again too.

I liked the Nashville one too. Funnily enough, I watched that one and the Charleston one after I visited those cities. It's fun to get someone else's perspective on places you just visited, especially when that someone else is Bourdain.

The Lagos one: also quite good.

In honor of #BourdainDay here's a pic of the best meal I've ever had. It was in Porto, Portugal.



Thank you Mr. Bourdain for all you gave. I am a better person because of your influence and inspiration. Miss you every day.

Also, another travel pic. One of my favorite places on the planet. I always think of Tony when I visit Yelapa. The people are warm and open and amazing. The food is excellent. It's a private paradise. #BourdainDay

I've never missed a celebrity before like I do this guy.

Wait now that I thought about it, John Dunsworth aka Mr. Lahey from Trailer Park Boys. I actually got to see him and Randy Bobandy live a couple years before he died too.

Watched a few eps of Parts Unknown for the first time in almost a year. Just remarkable. I'm so glad he got to make that show. And I wonder who is there to fill the void? Who steps up? There are plenty of travel shows and cooking shows but none like his. No voice like his.

Miss him every day.
