Did not like him the first time I watched one of his travel food shows. Looked like a miserable liberal with a foul mouth.

I told him not to eat those funky looking mushrooms, but noooooo! You know Tony, when did he ever listen to any one?

Dear LIEberals, no need to off yourselves. There’s always Canada and for you extreme socialists with a tyrannical bent why Venezuela beckons you. Don’t die just self deport and enjoy a long life of Lieberalism untethered.

He didn’t and he was probably running his mouth. He’s dead.
I’m glad you hold yourself to his level of discourse.

I don’t care what you think of me. I’m an anonymous screen name on the internet, same as you.

Suicide with how many needles sticking out of his arms and bottles of booze and various means of sicko kinky stuff in the room? A vile creature. Wow, just 61. He looked much older.

REMINDER TO EVERYONE: At Free Republic, we have a longstanding tradition of not celebrating on the obituary thread of anyone but the most vile liberals and globalists (examples: Ted Kennedy, John McCain, George Soros.) Anthony was not such an example. Please do not descend to Democrat Underground levels.

We may just need to remind everyone. I've done so.

Indeed. I suppose they ruled out autoerotic asphyxiation?

#27: "Politics aside, I always enjoyed his books and found him entertaining.

Generally speaking, so did I.

One bit of wisdom I did gather from him was his admonition to never eat at buffet, and never eat at restaurant on a Monday or Tuesday. The buffet and the early days in the week are where restaurants unload spoiling and "iffy" and out-of-date food. Good advice from the late Tony B.

There was an interview back in 2006, I believe, where Anthony Bourdain was asked about people who are over the age of 35 that want to get into culinary.

His answer was simple, and rather direct... “Forget it, bub. Your creativity is gone, you don’t have the speed, and your taste buds are shot.”

When I read those words, I was 47 years old, and in culinary arts school. Suffice it to say, that didn’t do wonders for my confidence.

At current, I am working in culinary, or at least Food Service. Maybe I am not as fast as some of the younger folks, but my taste buds aren’t shot, and my creativity is still there. So, Anthony Bourdain was wrong.

It is kind of a shock to hear that he offed himself, but the guy did struggle with drugs quite a bit. Some things you just can’t shake.

It is where the liberal cult ends up. Sad.

Watched him until I became clear he was a liberal democrat who could not keep his liberal Horses#it to himself!!!

I enjoyed his books, "Kitchen Confidential" and "A Cook's Tour." And I rarely missed an episode of "No Reservations" on the Travel Network. I stopped watching him, however, when he moved to CNN because unlike many so-called conservatives, I refuse to watch CNN for any reason.

Although I am well-aware that AB is an uber-lib, his political views were not a big part of his message in the years that I followed him. I have been told by people who have followed his entire career that his liberal politics became obvious once he moved to CNN. Well duh!

Suspicious timing...right after the arrest of the leaker in DC:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/07/politics/james-wolfe-arrested/index.html

Hopefully the French investigate this ‘suicide’ a bit better than we non-investigated Scalia’s death, I wouldn’t put anything past our Deep State.
