I’ve been a fan since No Reservations. He was definitely an inspiration for me. he was able to capture the humanity of wherever he taped. It was never a corny, soulless travel show...he made you feel like you were eavesdropping on a casual cultural exchange. His writing and show monologues hinted at his dark, cynical perspective...I wouldn’t have guessed it ran this deep. RIP

Endless travel is definitely not a fairytale like it may seem. The more you discover about other cultures, the more reference you have to criticize your own. I always comeback from a new place I enjoy like :francis:“why can’t the USA be more like this place” add that to the loneliness of hotels and new cities and dealing with trying to have a normal social life back home.

Thing about this dude he didnt walk the fence like these other white cac chefs/ food personality people. He went deep into peoples cultures and fukked with what others wouldn't dare. His no whites on Houston epi was cause he was tired of the world only being exposed to white run foods as being the best in the cities. Dude also caught shyt while in a Iran episode he shyt on U.S. Met dude 1 time out here in L.A while i was out to lunch from work. He was sitting outside eating at the most random hole in the wall spot and was chill af to chop it up with.

Im bummed out he was cool in my book and his shows always showed the "ugly" side the best side really. :wow:

Mans was drinking lean with slim thug he was bout it.

That's cool and all that but he got by being able to do all that on his white privilege so none of it really counts. White men can travel anywhere in the world they want and it's all welcoming and warm embraces and treated like royalty for them. Only people on Earth with that privilege.

I'm rolling a blunt and chugging a beer in his honor.
Used to watch his show growing up and always respected him as a chef and writer.
I'll never look at a duck press without thinking of breh. Dude had a kid a couple years ago :to:



RIP to a legend
