The culinary world lost a great story-teller recently when Anthony Bourdain took his own life.  I will start by saying I do not support suicide, I do not condone it, and really can’t stand that people end their lives this way.  With all that being said

I also understand that people fight demons we can’t see and battle wounds we can’t heal.

Looking from the outside in it is easy to be judgmental, I mean hell what could have been his issue the man traveled the world drinking and eating his way through some of the greatest places this planet has to offer.   Many of us out there dream of that kind of life.  I also understand that from the exterior some look like they are living life to its fullest, yet on the inside they are always alone.  I would love to keep going on and on but that’s not my place, I only hope that the culinary and travel world can find another orator to tell its story.

Here’s to you Bourdain. Cheers!!! PROST!!!! Skal!!! Salute!!! Brosd!! Santi!!
