Anthony Bourdain

[VinylGuy]

We just watched the French Alps one. It was eerily foreshadowing with some of the things he said in that episode about death and finding his body, all to Ripert himself.

Also, just downloaded this one too.

I pass that spot all the time. Nuts

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.

what's he eating there?

[dimejinky99]

Countless cafes and food stands and restaurants around there. Could be anything.

Happy Birthday, Tony. You'll never know the mark you left. Cheers and safe travels, my friend....

[VinylGuy]

Oh fuck, it was his bday? So sad. I miss his show so much.

[epilogue]

Me too, friend.

Two years and it's still not any easier.

I’m about halfway thru Medium Raw right now. Thanks for the recommendation, Joe. I absolutely love his writing style. It’s like just sitting there listening to him tell stories.

Someone sent me an Anthony Bourdain candle today and I have no idea who it was

Last two seasons of No Reservations are on Hulu. We've been enjoying going back through these episodes.

Yes! Oh good, I'm so glad you're reading it and enjoying it. That one, more than any other, really does feel -- as you say -- like sitting and listening to him tell stories. And what great stories! It's high time I re-read that book.

Looked like Jorge took credit for it.

Also, I also have a "St. Bourdain" candle. I don't know if I'll ever actually burn it. But I'm thinking about doing so tonight. The wife and I are also thinking about polishing off the last of the Pappy 15 we have in honor of Tony tonight. Seems like the proper occasion to finally finish that bottle.

Trying to watch Anthony Bourdain reruns is a mess right now. Certain seasons available on different streaming channels, but no one stop shopping, nor is there a Blu-ray box set (which I would gladly plunk down cash for).

Most recent I can find are selected episodes from the last few seasons of parts unknown, on the CNN app

Yeah this is really annoying. We had to watch two different episodes of parts unknown on tyo different platforms. And a third we wanted to watch required an extra $2.99

[epilogue]

I think all of Parts Unknown is on HBO Max, if you have that. But, yeah, everything else is so scattered. But that's what happens when you have so many different producing partners/networks/etc.

Ooh! Good tip! We’ll be making the jump once HBO Go disappears from Roku next month.

you mean HBO Now? i'm asking because HBO Now disappeared from AppleTV, but my HBONow account automatically converted into HBOMax, but i can only access it through iOS devices, to then AirPlay.
