Anthony Bourdain
Some People Wonder Why So Much Love
While Many Reminisce About Their Favorite ‘Tony Moment’

If you’re not a Tony Lover
I’ll tell you why I am

He traveled the world & viewed all as equals
Besides that …
Tony’s a Jersey Guy
I’m a Jersey Guy

Growing up in the shadows of ‘The City’
Allows a young person to experience cultures of the world
In the safety of your regular day

The variations of colors, languages, cultures, beliefs
Pulled AB to explore the kaleidoscope of #Earth
Fueled by food passion & conversation that showed peace is craved by all countries
He took us on a journey meeting fun, smiling people

“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. Walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food. It’s a plus for everybody.”
Anthony Bourdain

There was rarely an episode of No Reservations or Parts Unknown
Where I wouldn’t have wanted to be part of his crew
Except perhaps when they were being bombed in Beirut
Yet … “The food’s delicious, the people are awesome, it’s a party town”

Two years ago …
Anthony Bourdain is trending on Twitter … ‘I wonder what he said that got people talking?’

What? He … suicide? Why?

Food, Travel, Money …
I’m sad

#BourdainDay

Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back
It’s a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we’re young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

Bruce Springsteen
