Poll of the Day > Were you a fan of anthony bourdain?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I heard he recently died, suicide was the suspected cause. He was the celebrity chef and had his own tv show.

I had actually never heard of him, to be honest. I don't generally watch TV.

he was found unresponsive by his close friend this morning in his hotel room

my sister was a big fan of his, and I liked him when he started years ago on the food network

i kinda like anthony zimmerman better, he seems more friendly

Can't say I agree with him on many points, and he always came across as a bit of a try hard but it sucks hes dead.

Wouldn't consider myself a fan but I did see a few episodes of him on his show where he'd travel and talk about different foods. Was pretty interesting,

Literally had no idea who that was but Windows sent out an emergency alert through their news app on my computer notifying me that he died.

Didn't get an emergency alert when we had a tornado outside town last year but hey at least I know when an American news reporter passed away.

Very much so. Ive read a couple of his books and really enjoyed his outlook on things.

Im at a loss for words this morning. RIP

My husband was a fan. We used to remark on how his show was a dream job, getting to travel the world and meet people. Just goes to show you don't know the personal demons people are fighting.

I actually really liked his show "Parts Unknown"

I don't understand why a guy like him would commit suicide

It could be a new update that wasn't around last year.

He would still have a good 10 maybe 15 years of life left and this despite the fact that he smoked quite a bit.

RIP
