I have always been a big fan and even have his Le Halles cookbook(I love Fbombs in cookbooks!). I dug A Cooks Tour, and Kitchen Confidential is mandatory reading for any chef. This is so tragic. I was shocked to saw that he had a show on CNN and wondered if felt like a total sellout-like some of his targets. Bourdain lived every chefs dream life- travel the world, sample all the world flavors, party with locals, have chef buddies show you their town, getting hooked up by chefs world wide constantly....all that, Tony had an 11 year old daughter, and it still didn't help his depression. I wish peace to Tony and his family
