“Every time I was with him, I wanted it to go longer,” says Anderson Cooper???"

One of the few times I saw Bourdain, he was complaining that the crackown on illegals from Mexico was making it difficult for restaurants to find good employees.

True, but superstar cooks are extra dysfunctional.

Great show in the early days. I appreciated his dry, NY humor.

Man, already on shaky ground mentally, completely loses it in middle age with help of younger woman. Basic story, really.

That said, if you like travel shows, I highly recommend the Youtuber Bald and Bankrupt. It's addicting. He travels exactly how I like to travel.

WHO? Sheesh!

He was “nobody” when he was alive and an even bigger nobody now that he’s dead.

Pretty funny. So he was a professional grifter who conned other professional grifters. No wonder they wanted to be around him.
You can’t make this stuff up.

I always preferred Andrew Zimmern over Bourdain. At least Zimmern appears to have conquered his inner demons.

I have learned that it’s very risky to look into the history of people you admire. Their public persona rarely holds up to serious scrutiny. They are commonly revealed to be small, egotistical and vindictive. The real standouts, for me, are those who turn out to be the real deal. Ronald Reagan comes to mind as a man who was, apparently, as advertised. I believe George Washington was as well.

Of course he was a shark. That’s how you get a TV series.

See Oprah: The biggest shark of them all.
