“In the few years since I’ve started to travel this world, I’d found myself changing. I’d begun to believe that the dinner table was the great leveler. Now... I’m not so sure. Maybe the world’s not like that at all. Maybe in the real world, the one without cameras and happy food and travel shows, everybody - the good and the bad together - are all crushed under the same terrible wheel. I hope... I really hope I’m wrong about that.”

"And I'm not gonna tell you, here, how to live your life. I'm just saying, I guess, that I got very lucky. You know, I'm looking at a strange and unpredictable future in a tough business with rules that I'm not completely familiar with, and when I become familiar with them, I, you know, I don't know whether I like them that much."

(Anthony Bourdain, quoted in Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain)

Using the Internet as it was intended today I have Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain open in one tab and Fernando Pessoa's Book of Disquiet open in the second and my work Google doc opened in the third (sad and ignored). This is actually not how the Internet was intended. This is the damage the Internet has done

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain, as the title says, attempts to tell the story of the renowned chef that travelled the world and was followed by many until his tragic suicide put an end to a wonderous career. The mystery of his suicide lies in the oxymoron of a man that was travelling around the globe to try and discover himself. Of a man that in all the countries he went, everyone knew, but himself felt he had no one in the world. The documentary has the privilege of having access to endless video material since Anthony's life was documented almost daily on camera, but it doesn't shy away from using AI to synthesize a few new lines of narration by the diseased protagonist, reading out letters he once wrote, that shed light to what happened later on. I personally liked Bourdain greatly and was shocked to find out he ended his life. The film does give insights into his persona, with intimate interviews by his closest friends, associates and ex-wife. And it's very sad to see a man so successful strangle so hard with his demons and never be able to find peace, even in the most beautiful and remote places of the world.

[el-im]

had one foot in a dream and one foot on the floor beside my bed last night and was thinking/dreaming about disingenuous writing. wondering if anthony bourdain could still write about cooking and the atmosphere in places like les halles if he was mostly doing work on no reservations, or if because he was moving in a new circles, he was fundamentally disconnected from that experience and couldn’t serve as an advocate or authority on that culinary-underbelly world. thought about dean martin’s cover of “gentle on my mind” and how pissed off it made me, thinking of it with the lean i was. (guess, guess, guess: “it's knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk / that makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch / and it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds / and the ink stains that have dried up on some line / that keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory / ever smiling, ever gentle on my mind...” -> how i am trying to figure out what the fuck men want after watching ROADRUNNER and thinking about bourdain leaving his wife and his child, as well as living through these relentless months of my life, and tying this to it + the notion of “sowing wild oats” (UGH) + the necessity of letting go people who want to leave... the idea that a man will only think of you kindly if you behave contrary to what you want, and let your beautiful front door into your beautiful house be--to him--a revolving door which will open if he pushes it, when he deigns to drop by... but i’m getting too close to it now.) i thought about this disconnect between reality and depiction, and how the people you see on films/even in reality television performing some action (in my mind, this was “cattle ranching”) aren’t the best illustrations of that action. and how if these people were real cattle ropers, they wouldn’t consider bothering with a film crew. the idea of documentation doesn’t occur to them. this is just life. i had an image in my head of these men packed into the back of a truck, sitting with their legs spread over the bed and their backs against the side panels, their bodies cramping against the wheel cutouts. i imagined one of them hopping out and running to the house, having forgotten something. i saw the sun reflecting off the window, and his shadow over the pane of glass as he passed by. this was reality to them, unfilmed. i thought that these were men guided by the “flat god who owns the front window”. this was highly significant to me, but i’ve forgotten the force behind it. i tried to write down how i’d arrived at that thought/image, but the trail was already dissolving. i was asleep, i was dreaming. i wanted to remember it, so wrote it down, but in waking i’d disturbed the thought. diluted it.

Anthony Bourdain was born on June 25, 1956, in New York City.  

Bourdain Day  

The life, legacy, and birthday of world-traveling culinarian and  storyteller Anthony Bourdain is celebrated today. Created by José Andrés  and Eric Ripert, fellow chefs and friends of Bourdain, who announced it  with a video, Bourdain Day is celebrated with the sharing of tributes and memories of Anthony Bourdain.

Bourdain achieved rockstar status—a rare feat for a cook—and his  suicide in 2018 devastated his fans, who felt a strong connection to  him. He traveled the world and ate food in just about any location  possible. In the process, he demonstrated the power of a shared meal to  bring people together, the diversity of cuisines and cultures, and also,  in contrast, that no matter where people are from, they very much are  alike. He was a storyteller and explorer of the human condition who used  food as his landscape. His ethos, which drew so many to him, can be  summed up with his own words: "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 grew up in Leonia, New Jersey, and began working in kitchens at the age of 13. He later said he learned the most important  lessons of his life as a dishwasher. But addiction took hold of him when  he was in his twenties, and he became hooked on heroin for a time. He  went to Vassar College in New York State for two years before dropping  out and enrolling in culinary school. He then worked as a line cook and  sous chef at a number of restaurants in the Northeast, before becoming  the executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in Manhattan.

In 1999, after publishing two suspense novels, Bourdain's article "Don't Eat Before Reading This" appeared in The New Yorker,  garnering him some attention. In it he captured kitchen life and the  characters of the underbelly he came across while working there, saying,  "In America, the professional kitchen is the last refuge of the misfit.  It's a place for people with bad pasts to find a new family." The  article set the groundwork for and led to the book Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, released the following year, which was a best-seller and brought Bourdain widespread fame. Bourdain followed it up with A Cook's Tour: In Search of a Perfect Meal.

Then came television. Four shows over sixteen years brought viewers  to the far corners of the world, where food and conversation underpinned  an exploration of culture. Bourdain's first show, A Cook's Tour, was adapted from his book and aired on the Food Network in 2002 and 2003. Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations debuted on the Travel Channel in 2005. It received over a dozen Emmy Award nominations and had two wins over its nine seasons. The Layover, also on the Travel Channel, aired from 2011 to 2013.

In 2013, Bourdain moved to CNN with Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.  It won five Emmy Awards and a Peabody Award for "expanding our palates  and horizons in equal measure." Tragically, Bourdain died of suicide on  June 8, 2018, while in France working on an upcoming episode of Parts Unknown. He was 61. Although he is no longer with us, his life and legacy live on in his robust body of work and with Bourdain Day.

How to Observe Bourdain Day

Share  a tribute or memory of Anthony Bourdain along with the hashtag  #BourdainDay. Then you could celebrate his life, legacy, and birthday in  a number of ways:

Read one of his books, such as Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, A Cook's Tour: In Search of a Perfect Meal, or No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach.

Read "Don't Eat Before Reading This," the New Yorker article that set him on a path to fame.

Read a book about him.

Watch Remembering Anthony Bourdain.

Watch Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain.

Watch episodes of A Cook's Tour, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, The Layover, or Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.

Read remembrances of Bourdain from his fans.

Eat at a place he ate. Visit a place he visited. Read some of his quotes. Above all, move—"As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river."

“After Anthony Bourdain took his own life in a French hotel room in 2018, his close friends, family and the people who for decades had helped him become an international TV star closed ranks against the swarm of media inquiries and stayed largely silent, especially about his final days.

That silence continued until 2021, when many in his inner circle were interviewed for the documentary “Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain” and for “Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography.” The two works showed a more complex side of Mr. Bourdain, who had become increasingly conflicted about his success and had in his last two years made his relationship with the Italian actor Asia Argento his primary focus. But neither directly addressed how very messy his life had become in the months that led up to the night he hanged himself at age 61.

On Oct. 11, Simon & Schuster will publish what it calls the first unauthorized biography of the writer and travel documentarian. “Down and Out in Paradise: The Life of Anthony Bourdain” is filled with fresh, intimate details, including raw, anguished texts from the days before Mr. Bourdain’s death, such as his final exchanges with Ms. Argento and Ottavia Busia-Bourdain, his wife of 11 years who, by the time they separated in 2016, had become his confidante.

“I hate my fans, too. I hate being famous. I hate my job,” Mr. Bourdain wrote to Ms. Busia-Bourdain in one of their near-daily text exchanges. “I am lonely and living in constant uncertainty.”

(…)

Mr. Leerhsen said in an interview that he wanted to write a book without the dutiful sheen of what he called “an official Bourdain product.” Indeed, he portrays a man who at the end of his life was isolated, injecting steroids, drinking to the point of blackout and visiting prostitutes, and had all but vanished from his 11-year-old daughter’s life.

“We never had that big story, that long piece that said what happened, how the guy with the best job in the world took his own life,” said Mr. Leerhsen, a former executive editor at Sports Illustrated and People who has written books on Ty Cobb, Butch Cassidy and a racehorse named Dan Patch.

(…)

“I think at the very end, in the last days and hours, he realized what he had become,” Mr. Leerhsen said. “I don’t respect him killing himself, but he did realize and he did ultimately know he didn’t want to be that person he had become.”

Mr. Bourdain’s mind-set in his last days and hours will forever be a matter of speculation. But there is no doubt his friends were concerned, and his last texts shed some light on his state of mind.

(…)

“I am okay,” he texted her. “I am not spiteful. I am not jealous that you have been with another man. I do not own you. You are free. As I said. As I promised. As I truly meant. But you were careless. You were reckless with my heart. My life.”

The only thing that hurt, he wrote, was that the tryst took place in the Rome hotel they loved. He asked for her mercy. She wrote, “I can’t take this.”

She told him she couldn’t stand his possessiveness, and could no longer stay in the relationship.

After the next day’s filming, Mr. Leerhsen reports, Mr. Bourdain went out by himself, and ate and drank a lot. He and Ms. Argento then had their last text exchange, which Mr. Leerhsen places at the start of his book:

Bourdain: Is there anything I can do?

Argento: Stop busting my balls

Bourdain: OK

That evening, he hanged himself.”

Roadrunner: A film about Anthony Bourdain must be one of the most baffling and offensive documentaries i've ever seen. It's kind of unfocused from the beginning but charming enough, then towards the end it becomes a conspiracy film that is so fixated on Bourdain's death it ignores his rich life and just attempts to 'solve' his suicide. Even more bizarre is it's weird misogynist undertone with the attempt to put the blame of what happened on Asia Argento and implicate that she and metoo movement became like a new addiction for Bourdain and it was somehow a bad thing he felt so deeply. That's infuriating to me because Bourdain was one of the few celebrity men who i believe genuinely cared about victims and didn't mince his words and wasn't afraid of upsetting powerful people, and i loved him for it. You know that if he was still alive he would be vocally dragging everyone who are kissing Depp's and Pitt's asses currently. It's like the director and the people he's interviewing are incapable of understanding how could a man care about so much about women's rights and things that don't directly involve him. It's such a massive misunderstanding of Bourdain as a person by people who claim to have known him. Like i can definitely buy that he became heavily involved with the movement partially because he wanted to find meaning in his life and maybe felt guilty he hadn't been doing enough or wasn't a good enough father for his daughter, but he had also always been someone with a keen sense of justice, kind heart and zero tolerance for bullshit. It makes perfect sense that he was so vocal

#when one person was incredulously like he cut away all the friends that said anti-metoo things! #okay? so he did what everyone should be doing but usually aren't brave enough to do #if i ever meet morgan neville it's on sight #keanu.txt
