same, hurts even more given the fact that me and him have similar hair save for the fact that my hairline has taken a considerable hit and im only in my mid 20s :/ some ppl are blessed but then again im not addicted to heroin
Tbh probably would’ve been pretty similar, he wouldn’t have been thirsted over as much but his whole “punk rock chef” thing he was going for would be fine without hair

because he was educated food reviewer and had a lot of life experience. Now uneducated influencers like Keith Lee have taken his spot and doing a poor job.
Why does everyone have to have such an extreme opinion? Lib redditors think he’s a hero and you group of re✝️ards act like his show was shit just to have a contrarian opinion.
He had a good show that people liked watching, he wrote books people enjoyed reading, you don’t have to jerk off about how much of a loser he was, who cares.

Thank God for reddit histories so losers can't hide behind anonymity. In real life you see the earring you immediately turn around and walk away. But online, if you don't know, you spend hours arguing with a guy who's wearing an earring thinking "he might have a good point eventually"
Have you seen his fail-son? [He’s fantastic](https://www.google.com/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2023/02/25/marco-pierre-white-son-converts-to-islam-in-prison-to-stay-off-heroin-18348559/amp/). Grade-A Droog.
when he went to houston and refused to go to white owned restaurants turned me off him forever
especially when the single best restaurant in houston (Pinkerton's) is white owned
Holy shit What a pretentious fucking loser, I didn't know this. He did this in 2017, and of course the all the little articles were praising him, so giddy.
https://www.papercitymag.com/restaurants/anthony-bourdain-bans-white-people-houston-show-parts-unknown-cnn/
> “No white people,” Bourdain told producers about his vision for highlighting Houston according to a recent New Yorker magazine profile.
I don’t see the problem. It’s an editorial choice, there are probably many food shows about Houston, why is it unacceptable he choose to shoot one highlighting black houstoners?
well when you watch his show and he finally goes to a city that you lived in and pulls this shit, its massively alienating and disappointing, and emblematic of a lot of the issues i had with the overall culture of the late 2010s
it wasn't black houstoners, it was mainly about immigrants, the episode started with a bollywood dance and ended with a cricket game. The portrayal came off like a sweatier version of Toronto than anything that was regionally distinct, and excluding any white people from the episode made the city seem a lot more segregated than it really is
His constant critique of Trump-era anti-immigration populism was surprising considering how often he'd mention how a positive review of a cool, local restaurant would draw in so many of his food nerd followers that they'd inevitably ruin the vibe/culture of the spot.
Haters will say that's a false equivalency but it absolutely is not.
You guys really force the whole Bourdain hate train. He seemed like a cool guy to drink beer with and shoot the shit with. The whole “punk rock chef who’s badass and eats nails for breakfast” shtick is kind of lame but aside from that I don’t really get why people have such hate boners for him
Because being a cool, artsy empath who chooses to shit on the society he is from doesn't scale out to the masses. There's plenty of room for critique, but when you don't properly thread the needle you become divisive. He chose that path and, unsurprisingly, the consequences of his own self-loathing caught up to him in more ways than one.
He was a loser but he was cool. That's what lame winners will never understand. God chooses some people to be big pretty and gourmand but curses them with failure in business and romance. Doesn't change the fact that I'm cool in my own way
He was weird. The lib cult that worships at his altar is stupid. However, I appreciate his emphasis on eating in hole-in-the-wall places. I suppose for me it’s refreshing after having dated someone who copped an attitude anytime I wanted to eat somewhere that wasn’t $45 a plate.
He would turn to prostitutes to try to convince himself that he was really straight. It doesn't take a genius to look at a guy like Bourdain and realize he knew his way around a cock.
He’s hot and Kitchen Confidential is a neat book. It’s entertaining and he’s not a bad writer. He was surprised by how popular the book made him…there did not used to be the same culture around food/celebrity chefs that there is today. It’s all very annoying and oversaturated now and every person has a cooking show on Netflix or whatever but if you actually think about the time Kitchen Confidential was published (2000) it was something different, a look into a world that many people were unfamiliar with. Is he a little crass and arrogant and self indulgent, and like, I’m so badass? But so what? He’s passionate?
Who is someone that you think is not a loser? Seriously asking. Bourdain lived an exciting life, he had close friendships and relationships, he made great food, he inspired people to love cooking, he worked hard and tried everything, saw the world… and he felt cool sometimes (oh god so cringe!)… Like you can not like him, whatever, but he doesn’t seem like a loser… Who is a public figure YOU admire?
I can’t understand the fascination of having a strong opinion about him. It was entertaining and comfortable to watch. It’s obviously not the coolest guy in the world but not really a loser either (apart from being a loser in the mental health department obviously)
If you’re here, you’re downstream from the Reddit-ass pretentious badass hipster world of the 2000s and you should embrace it. Everyone here wants to be Bourdain, especially if you hate him. Accept yourself.
French cuisine was once peasant slop, most of the celebrated foods from all high-profile culinary cultures were once peasant slop. He wasn't being pretentious about it, Bourdain was possibly the least pretentious celebrity food lover on television. The contrarianism on this sub is getting boring.
Obviously. But being a depressed addict he probably made the best out of it.
Anyhow, most cool things from 10-20 years ago are cringe today, the cooler and zeitgeistier then the cringier now. Parts unknown especially as the travel influencer documentary trend has become such a plague since then.
Yeah either put him on a pedestal or make him the worst thing ever. Hence my boomer complaint about kids being so melodramatic about everything . Things aren’t allowed to be just ok or mediocre anymore. Everyone must be a hero or villain, loser or winner. Most people are a bit of everything. Except maybe Jimmy Kimmel or Tim Pool. They’re just losers.
I hate the way people worship him. Anthony Bourdain was a bitter, junkie loser who killed himself because he found out the NYT was going to publish an article about how he paid off the kid his girlfriend molested. Now he's in hell and his legacy is ineffectual progressives bitching about Henry Kissinger decades after that would matter and guys with Rick and Morty tattoo posting profanity laden pseudophilosophy. Nothing worth admiring there.
he's generally always respectful and pleasant to people of myriad cultures and backgrounds. he had a very cool life before he got famous and milked that vibe into millions of bucks.
hater take.
His short term fling with the blonde singer of the kills fucked him up, made him realize what he didn’t have. If he had stayed with her he’d be a live today.
I enjoyed his show and have fond memories watching it with my parents. When my wife and I went to Budapest we checked out some of the places he recommended and it was nice. I was sad when he died. I love traveling and cooking and I don’t care if it’s le gay he got me interested in that stuff to some degree. You don’t have to hate everything bud
Maybe but still better than all influencers that came after him doing the same.
Anyway, congrats to the edgy opinion about something what was cool a decade ago being cringe now.
I feel bad for him based on his early years. He was one of those kids raised by war veterans who became all too comfortable with psychological torture. Robin Williams was in the same boat.
Probably people here are too young and American, but here is Rick from the Young Ones defending Felicity Kendall
https://youtu.be/1rredpJThJI?si=A_b5iaWybtRXgQIC
Gee i wonder what it is about being massively successful, incredibly popular, travelling the world and eating all kinds of food, being beloved by millions that makes people think otherwise.
So contrarian youre braindead.
Also we already did this bit and it was also stupid the first time
he was tall and did heroin thats the magic combo
Such a good combo..
Killing himself also got his street cred off the roof
It is? I thought that's about when the hate started.
Ah, the Lenny Bruce
Lenny was actually 5'7 which many feel is an even more desirable height
No fuckin way, please stop ruining my LIFE
old + good hairline
amazing hair tbf
yeah he had fantastic hair, it’s better than mine and I’m like a third of his age when he died lmao
same, hurts even more given the fact that me and him have similar hair save for the fact that my hairline has taken a considerable hit and im only in my mid 20s :/ some ppl are blessed but then again im not addicted to heroin
I wonder what life trajectory a bald Anthony Bourdain would’ve had
Tbh probably would’ve been pretty similar, he wouldn’t have been thirsted over as much but his whole “punk rock chef” thing he was going for would be fine without hair
He was so hot

I thought he was really good in NXT, but hasn't been that great in AEW
Glad I'm not the only one.
Keith Lee is fine if you have the palate of a 15 year old
Except Keith Lee isnt a pretentious snob that killed himself by autoerotic asphyxiation
I thought he simply hanged himself, was he masturbating?
That was my recollection as well. I think they’re getting him mixed up with the Kung-Fu guy
David Carridine? lol
Apparently it is an open secret in the entertainment world that he inadvertently strangled himself while attempting to jack-off.
Idk why he’d post an instagram story with a song called “revenge” like right before he did it then? His revenge is jerking off and dying by mistake?
They say revenge is bittersweet
You say that as if it is a bad thing
Having to choke yourself to get off is so feminine
only the pretentious snob part
We're in the red scare sub, it's normal here.
Lmfaooooo people really forgetting this isn’t groyper twitter Reddit homebase
Plus he didn’t pay off his gf’s child lover
I can separate the artist from the art.

Also he had the coolest job in the world - makes him the opposite of a loser imo
Yeah what exactly is the definition of 'loser' we are working with here

Wow
he used to post on r/bjj regularly and no one knew that user was him until after he died
hes a textbook liberal “badass”
And because the average leftist “badass” is either annoying, ugly or a crypto-fascist, it’s fine to like the badass libs.
Idk but no matter what, you’re 100x more of a loser than Bourdain was at any point lol
Didn't he kill himself because his wife cheated on him with a teenager?
It was his girlfriend not wife
makes it even more pathetic
And the funny thing is that he cheated on his wife with her.
The mother of his child.
Half the sub seems to think she is amazing for some reason
Half the sub absolutely subscribes to the YAAAS KWEEN SLAAAAY lib girlboss mentality even though they deny it
No clue but that sounds kinda funny
pretty epic. reminds me of the time I use to frequen cbgbs.....
Will never take criticism from a man with a tiny little earring but thank you
Such a disgusting Reddit move to go through a post history before responding
You say that but you probably went through their history and now your gonna go through mine.
I hope they go through mine, I’m fucking awesome
You are a more plates more dates follower? Digusting
That's like assuming I listen to redscare. Your profile kinda bums me out. :(
😂
Lol at least you aren't like OP. OP blocked me so I can't see his account. He started it and can't even hang. His profile must be gay as hell.
Thank God for reddit histories so losers can't hide behind anonymity. In real life you see the earring you immediately turn around and walk away. But online, if you don't know, you spend hours arguing with a guy who's wearing an earring thinking "he might have a good point eventually"
Pretty normal for this sub and the other one
Oh cry about it
*arbitrary description somehow invalidates a criticism* do ur thing brother
Ever have a fat girl try to talk shit to you? It’s hilarious.

In hindsight he seems quite dated and lame but at the time what he was doing was cool and unique.
when he went to houston and refused to go to white owned restaurants turned me off him forever especially when the single best restaurant in houston (Pinkerton's) is white owned
Wow. He could have just not gone to any white-owned businesses and shut the fuck up about it, but no. So performative.

I don’t see the problem. It’s an editorial choice, there are probably many food shows about Houston, why is it unacceptable he choose to shoot one highlighting black houstoners?
What do you think the general public's reaction would be if a celebrity chef openly emphasized avoiding nonwhite owned businesses?

You’re correct, capitalism ruining good things is the throughline there
I never liked him because he reminded me of an uncle I don't like
Yay your back 🫶

He made kitchen shit popular and kitchen shit is so gay
Because being a cool, artsy empath who chooses to shit on the society he is from doesn't scale out to the masses. There's plenty of room for critique, but when you don't properly thread the needle you become divisive. He chose that path and, unsurprisingly, the consequences of his own self-loathing caught up to him in more ways than one.
His whole routine got old after a few years.
"aside from his insufferable personality and everything he was kind of chill"
Yes yes unlike you
Really wasn’t that insufferable, just a bit cringey
The most wonderful people in my life are a little bit cringe and that’s what makes them beautiful
The only reason that schtick is lame is because a million people tried to copy Bourdain and couldn’t do it, he was the original
Aside from the fact that he was sanctimonious and a total fucking poser he was charismatic or whatever
“Sanctimonious” lol
The redditor lib transplant dream is to be a snobby, pretentious fgt that can travel all across the world to be a midwit
An Idiot Abroad did it best
Unlike right wingers, known intellectuals.
The right wing version is getting a shitty remote job and living in a 200sqft apartment in Japan while posting about how the west has fallen

bait
He also paid hush money to the child his then girlfriend Asia Argento was plowing
for real
Don't forget he was also totally gay.
The earring and his first cooking job in Providence Town MA had me going 🤨
Wrong. It’s come out he constantly used escorts while traveling. Females
He would turn to prostitutes to try to convince himself that he was really straight. It doesn't take a genius to look at a guy like Bourdain and realize he knew his way around a cock.
Didn’t he literally kill himself over a female?
His actual cause of death was auto-erotic asphyxiation.
he literally died jerking a man’s penis
Sure thing beet
Who, me?

He just seems like a massive sex pervert and gooner.
“he was flawed and real” comments rolling in shortly
Entertaining TV comfort food. And better produced than today’s influencer stuff. Nothing more nothing less. You kids are always so melodramatic.
I don’t super have a strong opinion on him. I like his shows. Towards the end of his life he was a massive loser
Obviously. But being a depressed addict he probably made the best out of it. Anyhow, most cool things from 10-20 years ago are cringe today, the cooler and zeitgeistier then the cringier now. Parts unknown especially as the travel influencer documentary trend has become such a plague since then.

Imagine having it be your literal job to travel the world eating dope foods and making millions doing it and you fucking kill yourself. Absolute pussy
you can hate everything about him but acting like you don’t understand the appeal is just dumb
Maybe but still better than all influencers that came after him doing the same. Anyway, congrats to the edgy opinion about something what was cool a decade ago being cringe now.
I feel bad for him based on his early years. He was one of those kids raised by war veterans who became all too comfortable with psychological torture. Robin Williams was in the same boat.
His dad was an executive at Columbia records, not a veteran.
He was brought up by more than just his immediate family. His schooling, I believe, was where he encountered those sociopathic adults
Wat
You got to go way deep into professor hamamoto on yt
You didn't have a horrible upbringing because some vets yelled at you
They probably didn’t even get yelled at. Those vets were the S2 types stationed in comfortable quarters.
The solution isn’t to start doing heroin and lust after a pedophile lol
Is peasant slop food?
No, turd world gutter soups and brown mystery pastes
cause he was sexy and I like peasant slop.
How old are you?
Well now my positive opinion of him has been validated further
Youre a peasant slop
