I had just seen a preview for this week's episode and not 5 minutes later CNN was announcing his death. I said "Oh my god!" My wife ran into the room asking what was wrong. Anyhow, that was my reaction.
What tragic news. I hope that he can rest in peace, now.

I put myself through school washing dishes and eventually becoming the head cook at a 24 hour restaurant working 12 hour shifts with addicts, criminals, immigrants, and many hardworking and often broken people. Then I read Kitchen Confidential – telling our story – it defined our camaraderie and gave dignity to the world of service work. In the years that followed I've learned to celebrate that era of my life, becoming one of Tony's fans, enjoying his brilliant writing, entertainment and journalism.
Sad; already miss you friend-in-burns-and-scars.Comment

A sad day for those who have put up with the nonsense of working in a restaurant as well as the world in general...
Terrible loss...Comment

Very sad news. There has been so much misery the last couple years. I hope things turn around soon.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

“I can't imagine why he would do this...successful career, received numerous honors and awards, gorgeous girlfriend, worth millions and basically got paid to vacation all over the world.
Just doesn't make sense...”
Success and/or money doesn't cure depression or take away personal demons.

Very sad news, I love travelling and trying cuisine from other countries so I've always really enjoyed watching his shows. I feel bad for his daughter and also his girlfriend Asia Argento (Dario's daughter), although there are rumors that they had recently broken up, so I wonder if that was a contributing factor if true. Also, he's had a struggle with heroin addiction over the years (which he has been public about) so I wonder if there was something there too. At any rate, I'm really bummed about the news, I really liked the guy.Comment
