OT - AB last meal speculation

Too soon?  I don’t think so.  Was it served up by an up and coming gastronomic genius - a blend of cooking, art, and science - or was it a simple classic done exceptionally well, like a perfectly executed steak frite washed down with a bold burgundy?

Did he leave the restaurant with a bottle of very old and rare cognac under his arm?  Did Eric find that bottle, 7/8ths consumed, on his nightstand? 

Edit: when I wrote this I did not know he had hanged himself.

    A bold Burgundy..... good lord, is that like a delicate Zinfandel? Maybe a stout Miller Lite?

    Know enough to pull a better adjective out of my butt than "bold" to describe a Pinot...

    I think I did just fine.  You obviously googled Romanee-Conti.  Your transperancy is showing...

    I'll never see a bottle of Romanee-Conti in my lifetime. The closest I've gotten thus far is that 2nd Somm doc on Netflix; no google needed. But I have seen many douches in my life. For example, the type of person that name-drops luxury items they themselves can't afford to claim faux superiority on the internet...

    I think the OP was simply trying to express a measure of admiration and respect for Bourdain than anything else folks.

    Got a case of Boone's aging in the cellar as we speak.  This week's vintage is outstanding.

    What in the world are you talking about?  I said “bold burgundy” then you posted, mocking me, asking if that is like a “stout Miller Lite” - as if “bold burgundy” was somehow oxymoronic.  So, I provided an example of a BOLD Burgundy that I imagine AB might enjoy at his final table.

    Once again, I suggest to you you’re not quite as bright as you believe yourself to be.

    @JohnInCarolina thank you.  

    Good day.
