How's that pasture looking?  Do I need to come mow yet?

We just bailed the winter rye, but if you can drive a Bush Hog the bermuda will be waiting on you come late summer

Thanks for following up with something on the other end of the spectrum from heart felt and positive.

Thought it was funny and was classic Anthony, but I can see your point on its perceived crassness.  I fixed it for you

It's weird that the people who always claim other people are triggered, get triggered so easily.

This was our lunch today. Different place (the above pic was from Franklin) but same idea. I need a nap

We watched him and his shows religiously, until he joined CNN. I need to find his works on DVD and save them. Really loved this guy. 
He will be missed.

His daughter is 11.  Damn.

That makes it much worse. To quote the great Sherlock Holmes, 

“Taking Your Own Life. Interesting Expression — Taking It From Who? Once It’s Over, It’s Not You Who’ll Miss It. Your Own Death Is Something That Happens To Everybody Else. Your Life Is Not Your Own. Keep Your Hands Off It.”

Drew Magary’s take is pretty great too.  That last paragraph...

thanks for  sharing. Great last paragraph indeed. 

“And I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say the world would be a better place, and can very much be a better place, if everyone followed his lead and took true joy in seeking out and understanding the unknown. That is the greatest and most wondrous indulgence of all. Raise a glass. Cook a pig. Hug a friend. We cannot have Anthony Bourdain’s life, but thanks to him I know damn well that all of us can still have fantastic lives of our own, and that’s no small thing”

This one hurts.

Thanks for putting it all here - I couldn’t make the phone do it.

Not mine but beautiful. “The world is suddenly a less interesting place today.”

GD this was a gut punch.

You know...I've always loved Bourdain, but I have to say I'm taken aback at just how much love he's getting from all walks of life today, not just food & travel folks. I knew he was a star in that world, but had no idea he was as well-known and loved by so many. Even Obama tweeted about his death. Glad he's getting the respect he deserves. RIP Tony...

Today Marc Maron reposted his 2011 interview with Anthony.  It’s worth a listen.  Maron’s WTF is just about my favorite podcast.

Im a huge fan. I figured he would repost. He was On Last year too but it was a shorty segment that day and pimping his cookbook. It was kind of clunky but I listened anyway.
