Anthony Bourdain

A guy that I considered to be my hip uncle or a world weary travel companion has passed away. Anthony Bourdain was important to me. He showed me that people can travel to exotic places like Singapore, Lebanon, and New Jersey. He taught me to love food. He taught me to not be afraid to try things like eating from a food cart or asking for more hot sauce. He taught me that life isn't made for being timid or fake. He taught me that we're all temporary and life is precious. He taught me to watch out for certain things when I go to a restaurant. Me taught me what mise en place is.  He taught me all of these things without me ever meeting him. Through his shows and books, he showed me how to be a participant in the world. I'll miss his candor, humor, and views on everything. These were a couple of his favorite songs. There were dozens more he's mentioned over the years, but these I remember off the top of my head.
See you around, Tony.
