As someone that worked as a chef and cook for 17 years and also as a survivor of suicide (loss), his passing hit me especially hard. I'm not going to summarize his life here, but he was well read, philosophical, and articulate.
He spoke so much more about food when he visited places. He would touch on politics, economics, genocide, racism, globalism, technology, culture and really have a desire to learn about a place, it's present and past, from the people living their and didn't ever inject his own personal beliefs in the conversation.
His monologues would ask open ended questions instead of coming to conclusions or declaring opinions and that was essentially unheard of anywhere else on television dealing with such issues.
People use the word depressed way too loosely. "That movie was depressing." "I'm so depressed 'Grey's Anatomy, is over." Actual clinical depression is a mental illness that can affect anyone- regardless of one's power, success, family, and social status and needs to be treated as such.
IIN I don't see the big deal about Anthony Bourdain?
