Anthony Bourdain honestly changed the way I looked at food. I just loved the way he explored life through food. No Reservations/Parts Unknown was my way of exploring the world.

When I traveled to some exotic place I’d not been before -the last were Beirut and Amman- I’d text Bourdain & ask where I should eat. He gave the best, most fun recommendations. I’d like to think he’s scouting out the best watering holes and places to eat in heaven, right now.💔

Bourdain made a name for himself first as a chef and then as an author. Bourdain’s New York Times bestselling memoir, Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, was published in 2000, leading to his jump into TV. His first show was A Cook’s Tour on the Food Network segueing into No Reservations on the Travel Channel. That show was his breakout hit.
In 2013, Parts Unknown premiered on CNN. During a 2016 episode, Bourdain admitted he sometimes struggled with depression.
His last Instagram post was a meal he had four days ago in France.
