The first restaurant that I ate at when I moved to Manhattan back in 2012 was Les Halles.

Dude had a long history of drug problems...but he also has been quoted talking about his depression and how he really doesn't even think he's deserving of his own success.

We never know people's demons...allz I know is this was a cat that would go to countries in Africa, go to Brazil and other nations and eat their food and talk with them in a non exploitative way...in fact, he'd ACTIVELY try to get the realest most normal ass people into his shows.

He'll be missed. This shyt got me wanting to hit up a therapist and deal with my own shyt before it catches up to me.

Did Maya Angelou commit suicide?
Suicide as cause of death is more newsworthy than the individual with THIS much difference in merit and contribution to society? Dude was cool. But he was just a depressed drug addict. Don't even think to compare.

fukk outta here. Stop romanticizing suicide. There's no questions about homicide and motive. No storyline to ride. It's always for the same reason. Mofo is sad. Stop it slime.

Suicide is high as fukk for white people in his age and income level. Black people just go smoke and go right on with life.
Not really
- The Washington Post

African American children are taking their lives at roughly twice the rate of their white counterparts, according to a new study that shows a widening gap between the two groups.

The 2001-2015 data, published Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, confirm a pattern first identified several years ago when researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Ohio found that the rate of suicides for black children ages 5 to 12 exceeded that of young whites. The results were seen in both boys and girls.

Uncertain grounds
On one hand in surprised to hear this, on the other I'm not. Like others have said, I read about his past troubles and could see the battle scars in his eyes. Very sad news though, he was a good person. I've had my own problems in the past and sometimes I feel like I just buried them rather than freeing myself of them so i wonder if Bourdain did the same thing and it caught up to him. I guess we will never know. Prayers for his daughter

The man literally had the best job in the world. Getting paid loads of money to travel the world and sample all the best cuisines and wines and learning different cultures directly from the locals. What more could you want out of life? All these rich and famous cacs killing themselcves, being a rich cac apparently aint as cracked up as it seems.

I hear what you saying, took that into consideration before my first post and nah. nikka could've went out by a wingsuit failure extraorbital insertion into a free falling flaming Bugatti through the Aurora borealis over the statue of liberty during summer jam and he STILL shouldnt be regarded moreso than Maya Angelou.

I wonder if all the traveling and seeing how fukked up the world is played a part in his suicide. Ever since he joined CNN, his shows were definitely a lot more political and darker and you can see that he wasn't the same person from when he did No Reservations. It's just sad to see one of your idols pass in this way. You can relate to him in so many ways.
