He used to trash Mother Teresa, and anybody else that didn't live down to his lack of standards.

I liked the first couple of books he put out, but his constant leftist negativity was a turn off.

Anthony Bourdain was a LONG TIME ADOLESCENT PUNK.

Tony- boy was a sissy boy who never could take a punch.

BOURDAIN goes off as a complete, fake drugger punk.

May his heroin addicted life be exposed.

He is just another BIG TIME SCUM.

He was a good man, dare I say a great man.

He had a way of viewing other countries and cultures with respect, and he illuminated the average worker...the average line cook or sous chef, or garbageman, cop and maintenance man with dignity.

He neve talked down to them, never slurred them or insulted them.

His jabs were all to the high and mighty, the pretentious, the idiotic, like Guy Fieri and Sandra Lee.

His show on Ted Nugent was great, as well as his show on the US Army evacuation of Lebanon.

I’m really sad about this, I’
ve been a fan of his since the ‘90’s and Kitchen Confidential.

Asia Argento Calls Cannes Harvey Weinstein’s ‘Hunting Ground’ In Festival Speech

Wochit Entertainment
Published on May 21, 2018
Harvey Weinstein was once a mainstay at the Cannes Film Festival. After details of decades of alleged sexual assaults on women were revealed, the disgraced producer has been notably absent. Italian actress Asia Argento, the daughter of horror director Dario Argento, has been one of the most vocal accusers. Asia kept with that pattern during a 2018 Cannes closing speech. While onstage next to Ava DuVernay, Argento called out Weinstein as well as Cannes attendees.
“In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here at Cannes. I was 21 years old. The festival was his hunting ground. I want to make a prediction. Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed here ever again. He will live in disgrace, shunned by a film community that once embraced him and covered up for his crimes.
“Even tonight sitting among you, there are those that need to be held accountable for their conduct against women. You know who you are.”
Argento stressed that Weinstein’s accusers are also aware of which Cannes attendees helped facilitate Weinstein’s predatory behavior.
