I loved his curiosity about life! I’ve read his books and been an avid fan of his shows since the beginning of No Reservations. I loved seeing the world through Bourdain’s eyes and humor and in each episode his curiosity about food, travel, books, movies, politics and cultures was a joy to watch.
I rewatched several of his shows over the weekend and I still can’t believe it. I’ve loved learning over the years about food, cultures and the world through his travels and writing. I never watched a show without making a note of something that struck my curiosity, whether it was related to food or travel or a mention of a band or book. He was the perfect travel companion at home for an introvert.
This was such terrible news. I read “Kitchen Confidential” and smiled throughout, recognizing how much was familiar – although the kitchens I’ve worked in weren’t as piratical as some of his. Warts and all, he was a decent human being…
I keep rewatching his shows thinking that the horrible news will sink in, but I still can’t believe it and want to pretend he’s somewhere with friends in a foreign country enjoying a great meal. It’s been over ten years of watching and loving every one of his shows and enjoying the world and food through his unique charm and curiosity.
That is certainly true!
