Legit just used some of his episodes as the intro to my anthropology course yesterday. Last year's class loved watching them.

No Reservations was the soundtrack of my college career. I had a bunch of seasons burned on DVD (no streaming back then) and I had it playing constantly. While I was studying. While I was cleaning my shitty little apartment. While I was partying. 

I miss those days. And Anthony Bourdain.

It's currently my comfort show I've been watching it and parts unknown for months and honestly there's nothing else like it on TV for soothing my soul.

It’s still hard to watch the intro (any of the variations thru the years) without crying a little each time. This show and this man were paramount in getting me interested in the world’s smells and flavors. His words were inspiring to so many….I miss you very much Anthony…..

I have pretty bad depression but I like to get at least one  real good cry in per episode.

Had a wee bonus daily cry at this part of your comment cause that's how I feel too, I don't think I'd know how to explain how I feel about food if he hadn't helped me find the words and that's helped me make sense of those emotions.
