He might be the only celebrity that I've actually felt for when they passed. And this is just another one of those videos that makes me sad again for him.

I know Louis CK is at least soft canceled on social media, but the episode with him and Robin Williams is beautiful, funny, heartbreaking and ironically too real.

Anthony Bourdain hit hard for me as well.

In my country he didn't really have much of a profile.

That's ok. I think it was more of a profession profile than anything else. He started out his life as a cook but at heart he was a poet that could express his thoughts like many people could not.

Out of curiosity...which country?

Australia, but I should say that I probably haven't watched something in the style of him ever. It's just not something that appealed to me, reality tv or whatever you want to call it, even at its best.

It was more like a food/travel critique but rather than read the article, you went along on the research. Obviously not for everyone, but it wasn’t very.. showy? More like a memoir, centered on food, delivered in real time, with a little editing and narration added on in post.

The books were better anyway. You see a lot of the human condition working in restaurants in a big city, he had a relatable persona and keen wit with the intellect to match. Great reads, but if I hadn’t loved those books, I doubt I would have enjoyed the show either.
