Anthony Bourdain dead at 61

[Mikey]

He seemed to be getting really skinny lately --- maybe he was sick and nobody knew ?

[palitoy]

Just doesn't make sense...

Yeah, mental illness is sadly like that.

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...

That sux

My mom used to love watching his show. I always thought he was funny and very down to earth.

[Werewolf]

Very sad news. There has been so much misery the last couple years. I hope things turn around soon.

I’m in shock right now...damn...

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.

Same here...I meet him briefly once and he was very nice and joked how much fun it was to see "culinary graduates" who never worked in a kitchen graduate and get eaten alive by those types of individuals you just described.
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...

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.

The Suicide Lifeline here in the United States is: 1-800-273-8255 We all go through dark times. If you need help, they can help you.

I always liked watching his shows over the years. Last winter, I spent some time binge watching episodes from his various shows and realized the man can tell a story. I'm definitely going to miss his stories from here and there places.

[Marvelmania]

Stunned, shocked and saddened. I will miss him greatly.
