I know I'm in the minority on /tv/ but I actually liked Bourdain and really appreciated his insight on lots of things

he didn't have any insight he would just say something like "in Florence, you don't even think about Roman tomatoes" then the show would smash cut to him walking into a cafe to get coffee

have two

>>212991684 (OP)
What are his best insights?

>>212991684 (OP)
>why yes let me just get some cigarette ash in my coffee and on my meme french baguette sandwich

>>212991684 (OP)
>Do you also do most of your cooking with a spoon?

>>212991684 (OP)
What insight?

That it's nice to be independently wealthy and travel and so on?

>>212991966
maybe you should try it sometime chud

>His main message is to enjoy life
>I got believe /tv/ gets so triggered there are threads 24/7 about Bourdain

Mostly Bourdain threads are made by bots, no human being would lose that time for a third rate burgouise chef
He wasn't even a leftist activist

>>212992137

He's a phoney goober trying to pass himself off as cool.
Career was gifted to him by his editor mom.
Then he romanticized being some "rockstar" druggie in the kitchen and played it up in articles.
Keeps propping up the "white savior" boomer mentality by visiting shithole countries and being amazed at their parasite-infested slop.
Degen wife molests someone and he pays the guy off.
Offs himself when she cheats on him again.

Literally everything he said is vague cosmo boomer platitudes. His entire persona is phoney from the ground up.

>>212992310
your head-canon does not match up with his real life personality or the things he said and did.

>>212991684 (OP)
>really appreciated his insight on lots of things
idk about this, but i did find him entertaining, especially in the first few seasons of no reservations when he wasn't as famous/recognizable. my favorite parts aren't when he's waxing poetic about how poor people in malaysia make the best noodles in the world because of the unique feces particles that get mixed in or whatever, he's at his best when he's being a whiny bitch or complaining about some production fuck up.

i could never get into his CNN show, by then he was a legit celebrity and it was just another cookie cutter travel show more or less. i don't need another rich dude going to exotic places and telling me "yeah man, i don't go for that touristy shit, this is where the locals eat man!", give me some classic bourdain complaining about how he can't handle walking up all of the stairs in some temple because he's been smoking for 40 years and has no stamina

>>212992555
Oh, you're one of those autistic fellas that think everyone is 100% truthfully speaking their mind the entire time.

Actually, that puts you in the majority by a pretty wide margin.

he was more effective as a subversion agent cursing america under his breath

>>212992137
>his main message is to enjoy life
And yet his junkie jew globalist lifestyle drove him to suicide.

>>212991684 (OP)
same

>>212991684 (OP)
Same I am unironically a big fan. Seen all the shows, read all the books. Was he perfect no, But his shows were comfy and I really enjoyed his cynical dark humor.
>Cooks Tour
>No Reservations
>Parts Unknown
>The Layover
Kitchen Confidential is a fantastic book

>>212992137
Literally the only reason anyone gets mad over him is because of some quote he never said. It came from a forum.

>>212993752

>>212993822

>>212993822
Why does he get worse the more and more I hear about him

>>212992310
>Career was gifted to him by his editor mom.
This is somewhat true. She knew someone at the NY Times and helped get his article published. However he slummed it for 40+yrs sometimes living paycheck to paycheck sometimes. She probably felt bad for him lol

>>212992137
Why the FUCK would I take the advice from a chronically depressed man who hanged himself on how to enjoy life? HELLO???
Any old guy who isn't divorced and hasn't killed himself is better to listen to than Bourdain about this.

>>212992789
>i could never get into his CNN show, by then he was a legit celebrity and it was just another cookie cutter travel show more or less
This, I get the feeling most people now days only know him for his CNN show which lost its charm IMO He was jaded and more whiney by then and once he got on CNN he seemed to feel that he was a pseudo Journalist that had to comment on the politics on wherever he was visiting.
No Reservations is kino and comfy. He was actually funny and had jokes in his voice overs where as the CNN show was just very bleak and matter of fact.

>>212991684 (OP)
>cause of death: cuckholding
His "wife" should have been charged with murder.

>>212991684 (OP)
realistically, how are we supposed to respond to this? no one gives a fuck about what you think.

>>212992137
>He wasn't even a leftist activist

>>212993752
Didn't he say something about whites deserving to be replaced and genocided?

>>212994160
>”ahhh an edgy joke save me”
What are you gonna do? Cancel a dead man?

>>212993822
>NOOOO YOU CANT MIX THE TWO CONDIMENTS THEY GIVE YOU
>FUCKINNNNGGG DIEEEE
Why was he like this?

>>212994191
He jokes about white genocide.

>>212991684 (OP)
why is everyone on 4chan obsessed with him? he died fucking years ago and was a nobody food eater, yet still constant threads about him.

>>212993752

Hitler traveled all over the world and had some interesting insights.

>>212993872
>Negroni
fucking kek
and jesus christ this dude sounds insufferable, reddit incarnate

>>212991684 (OP)
To me, it seems like all his insight comes from being a member of the middleclass larping as a member of the working class and poor people.
It might be insightfull to overly educated nepokids and sheltered middleclass people, but to anyone who's had to work for a living, it's like telling people to wipe their asses after shitting.
