His books were what gave me a love of food and travel, and were a key catalyst in travelling to and then living in Tokyo. He was one of my heroes growing up.
Absolutely crushed.

I had heard of Bourdain somehow but had an image of him being some kind of brash American Gordon Ramsey-alike (I have no idea where this came from).
I finally, finally got round to watching Parts Unknown and it's fantastic. It's so so sad knowing "how it ends" for him because he's so hugely likeable.
Ugly Delicious, for all its faults, had been the best food programme I'd seen for its links between culture and food - but now I've realised that Bourdain was doing it earlier and even better.
A friend of mine who lived in Myanmar for a few years said his show was loved there for the early episode they filmed there which focussed on something other than war and hardship - articles about his Palestine show say much the same. So sad.

Anthony Bourdain found dead in a hotel room, man I always hoped I'd bump in to him in a dive bar. I hope he was having a mad one.
Nope, no party, suicide, damn.
