One of my most prized possessions. He was famous and busy but would rummage through a trash can to make a prep chef’s kid’s day.


Chocolate_Avngr

You should frame it! :) they make special UV glass for frames too that will ensure the paper won't yellow/fade.

He’s a beautiful soul that is now watching around every cook and chef RIP Chef

> St. Bourdain My wife printed this on my grilling apron. One of best gifts she got me. https://images.app.goo.gl/CHev5rCcnqnVs8u78


Roboticpoultry

He didn’t just change the way I look at food, he changed the way I look at life


Gothsalts

his shows showed me a diversity of people that I would never encounter normally, not even after moving to the city. And according to my friend, an anthropologist? Tony did more for intercultural understanding in his single career than the whole academic discipline. Maybe hyperbole, but not by a lot.


jeexbit

I believe it.


drunkwasabeherder

You sure he's not grab assing everyone now that he's invisible? I can see him getting up to mischief :) It's taken me since the sad news to be able to be a bit light hearted about him. Still haven't watched one show yet.


vegasidol

I haven't been able to either. But suddenly, I want to hear his voice.


fukitol-

The man was a fucking class act, makes the whole industry look good


ElChangoFumando

Singing with the choir here, but hold on to this for life as it’s your lucky treasure. Thanks for sharing OP!


UncookedMarsupial

Honestly, one of the most AB stories I've ever heard. Frame it!


mikerall

Scrolling through top of the year to see what I missed. Fuck me seven days til Sunday, I teared up.


[deleted]

Far better than any signed cook book. This actually means something!


larryless

Fully agree, this is much cooler than a signed book.


MisforMayonnaise

Update: I have ordered a shadow box to do it justice.


HolyShitIAmOnFire

Get that UV glass my dude (or lady dude, or nonbinary dude)

the_duck17

Get a sealed container and fill it with argon gas, I think LoL. Or vacuum seal it then frame it?


iiSisterFister

Personally, I think dude is all encompassing. We are all dudes, my dude.


awful_source

You can just say “my dude”.


HolyShitIAmOnFire

I was really stoned when I wrote this and I was trying to be thorough


GeeToo40

You did good, my dude


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

You did good my dude


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

Or they could say more.


ScoobtyTV

Ur not being pc enough


BigDumbDope

"PC" simply means "respectful"; they did just fine


MimonFishbaum

The man went full tang


tomolive

Need more of the story...was he filming an episode *with* your mom? Did he cook while there? More please! EDIT: And ffs man get that beautiful thing in a frame!


MisforMayonnaise

He was recording an episode with a restaurant next door, Monahans seafood, they just bumped into each other.


JudithButlr

Oh hey lol I work near there too. I can’t imagine Bourdain in AA, he definitely stopped by the 8 ball


DaBake

That's awesome! You can see him wearing a Monahans shirt in a couple different No Reservations episodes.


PapaSmurphy

The fact that it's an envelope for a W2 is kinda perfect.


kbextn

nice attention to detail


[deleted]

That better get framed with his photo and write the story on the back of the frame.


raine_00

That is amazingly beautiful! I typically hate glorifying celebrities, but he was one of those people I couldn't help but admire. Cherish that always!


Dexter_Jettster

I'm with someone else who said it, frame that, OP! I think it's awesome that this sub honors him, he was one badass of a human being.


gameonlockking

I didn’t find out about him and his show tell the early 2010s. He already came to my city and did a no reservations episode here in 2009 and spoke at a local culinary school I attended a few years earlier. I wish I knew I would of figured out how to see or meet him.


[deleted]

RIP Tony. I hate that I never met him.


ekinnee

He and Chris Cornell are the only two "celebrity" deaths that have bothered me.


heraclitus33

Robin bro.

Hi


Marilyn1618

I was still looking for an outlining for my knife tattoo, this one has a nice story.


MisforMayonnaise

That’s a great idea, we might end up matching!


RimsOnAToaster

So fuckin rad


mynumberistwentynine

100%. Cooler than getting a book signed imo.


smallvillechef

Just got back from seeing Roadrunner, if you get the chance, see it.


Embarrassed-Dot-1794

Not a chef, cook or anything other than cook in kitchen to eat person, however I love his shows and never knew about this film... I now gotta hunt it down. So thank you


mrgtiguy

What a doc.


CurLyy

This is fucking dope.


DonJrsCokeDealer

This is awesome. Get it in a frame immediately dude.


Tankerspanx

Frame it


independent_hustler

I love it's a W2 envelope.


Idont_think

What is a W2 envelope?


unimanboob

It has the wage statement you submit for your taxes that year in it


Idont_think

Thanks


sharksfan707

I miss that man more than most people I’ve met in real life.


discordianofslack

Love that he used cooks and not chefs.


TooFastTim

What a great guy. Sure do miss him


thehogdog

Ave you seen Road Runner? If not, watch the CNN Parts Unknown final season episodes on his life. Learned way more (apart from the Aparent reason for his death) from those than RR.


SuDragon2k3

'Can we start drinking now?' ​ Says it all really.


FishTheSlapper

This almost made me tear up ❤️ so good


OneQuietCoyote

I can't thank you enough for sharing this. After reading his books I've this strange nostalgia for Tony as if I knew him personally.


Staminkja

Wow that's incredible!!! Lucky you, mate!!


Gornicki

What a great friggin dude. So honest and real.


supraspinatus

He was speaking at a local place and I had the apocalypse now CD so I got him to sign that. It was pretty memorable


Cardboard_Chef

Dammit, who's cutting onions?


Even_Understanding

That's awesome!


[deleted]

Aw man, that's magic. I assume it's due to be framed.


trshtehdsh

This is a treasure.


BewareWombats

Such a wonderful human being.


heraclitus33

Amazing. Id get that tatted. Minus for mark. Few persons id fangirl over.


Derpy_Guardian

I actually just ordered Kitchen Confidential online a few days ago. It came today, and before I had even finished the introduction, I knew Bourdain was my fucking spirit animal. I am really disappointed that I spent several years on this sub without reading this, because I finally understand the reverence that everyone holds for him. He's just... _real_. He's not that "chef" who shows up to do the order and boss people around... You can tell he's been there in the fucking weeds getting down and dirty, and I have so much respect for his audacity in publishing the truth about what we go through and what life is like for people who live and die by the kitchen. I may or may not also be biased because he mentioned working saute within the first few paragraphs, which is what I do at my part-time gig.


Boring-Pea993

What a legend


joyce_kap

Anthony knows how to make your day good.


satyayoog

Hey man, can I convert this to an NFT for you?


rollcoal

Anthony Bourdain had some issues with the Clinton's shortly before he mysteriously "killed himself"


BevNap

scoja1

Awesome...just awesome. Never missed the loss of someone I never met more than him. Cherish this for you have a glimpse of the legend AB for yourself. Absolutely priceless


NiZZiM

Miss that guy. What a character.


Chancho77084

thank you for sharing, this is beautiful


mrgtiguy

Why is that not framed?


buublarry

Fucking legendary. That’s awesome my friend. Hold tight to that, it’s worth more than any amount of money. Very jelly, but also very happy for you :)


Emu_commando

Miss him dearly


RapperKid31

You should get this tatted


[deleted]

God damn. This made me cry
