Happy Bourdain Day to those who celebrate. Bourdain would have been 70 today.
I dearly loved watching his TV shows – since his death I’ve only watched them sparingly as they give me a feeling of utter sadness.

I have quite a few of his books. I haven’t read them except to skim a bit – I got them all after his death.
Today, I will watch his work on TV. I will move past this sadness I still feel for someone I never met…yet someone I feel like was my friend.
He showed us so much.
I think this video by David Choe in memory of the only painting by Anthony Bourdain captures the essence of why he means so much to so many of us:
Today I will watch some of Anthony Bourdain’s work for the first time in a long time…
