/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>14214695
based on what?

objectively, yes.

>>14214695
Anyones who offs themselves over a broad is most certainly not based.

>>14214695
he's not your average chef, he took drugs and flipped his middle finger at a camera. he's really sophisticated and wild at the same time. like your insurance guy when his wife is allowing him to take his harley out for a ride.

>>14214739
broad?

>>14214695

>>14214774
For some reason anon has been convinced he killed himself over a woman and not a lifelong battle with depression.

>>14214695

No, those poor jail assassins will never recover from the trauma.

>>14214695
>offed for having dirt on the clintons

Yes.

>>14214695
Fuck off you shitposting meme-loving spamming faggot

Seemed like a cool dude.

he was unironically a cuck, and a drug abuser, and a lefty shill, and not even good at cooking
he was a failed chef that wrote a snotty passive aggressive book

>>14214695
I miss him so much bros...

>>14214695
>has 11 year old daughter
>kills himself over middle aged pedophile dumping him
ya I’d say he was based

>>14214776
holy shit thats super based

>>14214805
they’re both the same thing really

He didnt like Trump so I dont like him.

>>14214980
Well said. I cannot disagree.

>>14214695
100% positively based. Only damn Celebrity I really was depressed over

>>14214695
>depressed low self esteemdruggie beta trying to act tough
>literally killed himself
also
>jewish
what was the question again?

classic manic depressive with self destructive tendencies. when he was able to channel his energies into his passions -- food, travel, people -- it was excellent. he left his 2nd wife and 11 year old daughter for a damaged, narcissistic actress 20 years younger than him. half a year later he offs himself. i think he was spiralling and knew it.

>>14214695
No he was an obnoxious libtard faggot. I just get joy out of thinking his last thoughts in this world were that his slutty gf was cheating on him.

i want my ugly laughinh face to be the last thing my enemies get to see before they die

>literally cucked to death
lmao.

>>14214695
No, he drove every small business he ate at into the ground. He's everything that's wrong with city folk.

>>14214820
>not based

>>14216532
source?? sounds like bullshit

>>14214695
him and PSH are the only celebrity deaths i've ever really felt sad about. i mean i'm not a little baby who cried in the fetal position for a week, but it felt bad knowing i'd never see any content out of either of them again.

i can't say i enjoyed much of his later stuff. the cnn show was just kind of meh and the nbc show he was a judge on was terrible, sucked seeing him have to water himself down that much for big network primetime. but dam, No Reservations was kino, hilarious seeing him in the early days just shitting on his own show and calling out his producers. kitchen confidential was a great book too.

>>14214695
He was a genuinely good guy. June 8th is a really shitty, empty day now.

>>14214960
He fucked numerous women in multiple cities, hadn't done drugs since the mid-80s, admitted he wasn't a good cook but still made executive chef in 1998, wrote two bestsellers which told the brutal truth about the restaurant industry...

you were on /ck/ tonight.

>>14216585
It is bullshit. Most of the places he visited are still thriving. I went to a lot of amazing local spots all over the world because of him. Only Les Halles closed because of the insane hike in rent, had nothing to do with him.

>>14216585
>>14216846
Might be talking about how he ruined local joints for people, Places people went to for years, they no longer could due to Epstein here making them too famous.

>>14214749
He was a rich and connected jew who attended elite private schools all his life. His junkie persona was larping cringe. He got published because his parents are involved in publishing / media

>>14214960
The lefty shill shit was very jewish of him. also selling out to cnn so they could brainwash rich traveling boomers that diversity is sooooo beautiful

>>14216221
I think he was a closet queer if I’m being honest

>>14214695
What happened to his bitch, woke girlfriend?

>>14214695
The only famous person whose death still makes me upset. I miss him brehs

>>14214695
He cooked human flesh for the elites at their satanic parties and was suicided before he could spill the beans.

>>14214805
No he was killed by the clintons cause he was about to release a bunch of their secrets. Stay bluepilled normie

>>14217437
TAKE
MEDS

>>14217471
nah.

>>14214695
good riddance

>>14214695
I miss his shows. I never knew him, obviously, but when he died it kind of felt like losing a friend. As my insurance ended when my father was fired from IBM, I couldn't keep paying for therapy as the insurance plan was able to before. I couldn't pay for that kind of expense with the job I had. So as a form of therapy I used his shows to entertain me when I felt good and used them to lift me up when I was depressed.

When he died, I was on the toilet before my morning shower and read it. Took a shower and felt really fucking sad and crushed and I know it doesn't make sense since I never knew him and he didn't know me. As I was leaving the house, my parents had a surprised and sad look ok their faces. As I came home from work my brothers pointed at me and laughed and said that I'd never see his shows again. I'm not joking, that's how shitty they are, and my dad joined in, but my mom didn't.

I know it's so fucking lame that I liked his shows enough that I used it as treatments for my depression but he taught me to keep being interested and to keep learning. I'm more open minded and seek out things to learn each day and if I don't then I'll just try the next day. He helped me change my perspective on the world around me and how I approach it all. All of it also helped me learn not to hold back. I'm not really moving forward but I'm working on it.
No one will read all this but it felt good to put this to words even if it's to you degenerates, because we all are.

>>14217585
>No one will read all this
I did fren.

>>14217593
I love you bud. Thank you for being here for us frens

>>14214695
Its kinda funny to think he had a lot of opinions on food but we'll never know how the maggots thought of his flavor. I wonder if ill get good reviews from my decomposers

>>14217585
do you have any hobbies, or a purpose beyond your job? If not, find out what you really want to do what you'd like to be remembered for

>>14214695
Here's how I remember him: one episode of Parts Unknown, he went to, I believe, a somewhat well-known town in Italy. Now, throughout his time on that show, he went a million fuckin places, some popular, many obscure as hell. They always try to find a genuine connection with the people of the towns, you know, talk to the chefs at not just super fancy restaurants but also just people on the streets and such.
Well, this time, they go with a boat owner -- as they often did in seafood-focused areas, since exploring the roots of food is important to the show. But this time, it turned out that the boat owners were a tourist trap -- they were just throwing bait in the ocean and 'catching' it or something, so the 'tourist' would feel special.
And here's the thing: the rest of the episode basically shows how he spiralled into depression for a few days and treated the folks he stayed with like shit. Now, it sucks he had mental health issues (and is morbid and depressing in retrospect), and it was shitty to do that to the folks. Genuinely caring about the show doesn't excuse their treatment.
But here's the thing: they fuckin showed it. No trying to excuse it, no clever cutting, no really overdrawn sitcom apology scene or whatever. They just straight up showed the (intensely uncomfortable) dinner where he talks to a dude who's helping him and his uncomfortable girlfriend, is a shit reviewer, and he gets drunk on wine.
It sounds stupid. And maybe it's not a great eulogy. But that, to me, was what made Parts Unknown special: we saw great food, but we also saw Bourdain -- not a sanitised TV version, but a real dude who was always badass, always cool, and who also had an outright shitty past that would, sometimes, come to the fore.
And that made the show powerful, because I think it took the old fantasy -- travel the world, see the sights, whatever -- and showed us what it *actually looks like*, in a totally authentic way.

I liked some of his shows quite a lot.

>>14217354
He looks really fucking rough there.

>>14216232
You're so fucking retarded. They had an open relationship so it's not cheating. Also anyone who used the term libtard is an automatic low iq golem.

>>14214695
>>14214698
baste on what?

>>14216633
Based

>drug user
>committed suicide over being cucked
>constantly whined
no

Another dead cuck what is he known for except letting some used slut dominate him?

>>14217354
>trolling for fun and profit
That's basted.

>>14217456
kek.

>>14217645
I am interested in food and cooking, I also want to travel a lot more. So his shows obviously line up with that. I would like to work in a restaurant but I work within beer and liquor, which I do enjoy but I want to move on and learn new things.

>>14217653
That was on No Reservations, not Parts Unknown, you dumb faggot.

>>14214695
He was noticeably depressed in the last season of his show. Everyone on set must have known he was on a downward spiral and needed help and probably a break from all the travelling, which does significantly increase stress and lilelyhood of relapse depression in guys like Bourdain who have suffered from clinical depression in the past. But they chose to ignore it for their own jobs.
