We woke up this morning to the sad news that Anthony Bourdain is dead.
Whatever the reason and whatever the cause, he has left a mark in many lives. I liked his shows ("No Reservation") in general (except when on occasions when he because overly preachy). What makes his show great is when he goes beyond just the food, and clearly highlights the culture and the people surrounding the food. That is what makes his show, and Andrew Zimmern's show, and Vivian Howard's show, more than just a show about food or about cooking. It showed how food fit in to the civilization of that place, both present and past.
Zz.
