In a single day at Les Halles, in New York City, Anthony Bourdain once nourished himself with three double espressos, two beers, three cranberry juices, eight aspirins, a hunk of merguez sausage, and an “Industrial”—a beer stein filled with a Margarita.

, scraps, meat for steak tartare, pork tenderloins larded with bacon and garlic, pâtés, rillettes, galantines, and chickens.

I work on a six-burner Garland. There’s another range next to it, which is taken up with a bain-marie for sauces, with onion soup, and with stocks—veal, chicken, lamb, and pork—that have been reducing at a slow simmer during the previous day and night. When we’re serving meals, one of my burners will be occupied by a pot of boiling water for Omar to dunk ravioli in. On another burner he’ll sauté lardons for frisée salads, sear tidbits of hanger steak for.

The key to staying on top of a busy station is to move on a dish as soon as Mohammed yells its name—set up the pan, do the pre-searing, get it into the oven quickly—so that later, when the whole order board is fluttering with dupes, I can tell which dishes I have working and which ones I have waiting, without having to read the actual tickets again.

I catch the duck just in time, roll it over, skin side down, and pull it out of the oven. Mohammed yells out another pasta order. I pour extra-virgin into a pan and sauté some paper-thin garlic slices with crushed red pepper, add artichoke hearts, roasted vegetables, some olives. Whenever I do pasta, I start humming Tony Bennett or Dino . I really love doing that final squirt of emulsifying extra-virgin, just after the basil goes in..

Still can’t accept this guy is gone 😞

As he does in this article, his storytelling was consistent in print and on tv. His attention to details made even the mundane exciting. I miss him constantly.

His voice as a writer is undeniable. What a force of nature.

Anthony could glide from one cultural adventure to another so effortlessly. I always thought he would have made a great Ambassador. Still miss seeing him.

Miss him.

I miss him existing in this world. I'm sorry he's gone. It's such a shame.

Like a musician you know from the first note, Bourdain was effortlessly recognizable by his style. Whether watching him or listening to him or reading him, he came with the same energy, and, for better and worse, always left you wanting more. Great read!

A perennial hangout during my early Wall Street years…

You post this frequently 🤔

I got a stomach ulcer just reading that

no disrespect but this is a regular day for a line cook

Let’s not pretend, we NY’ers have all done this. We may have done it at one of the Australian brunch places in 2011 or maybe Silver Dollar, or possibly a can in a brown bag and sandwich from the bodega, but we all did this.

My god I used to love having dinner, drinks, and deviant evenings in this place. Long live Anthony Bourdain!!!

Anthony Bourdain is all of us at one point in our lives as a New Yorker.

A charming, hot mess.

that's a lot of aspirin

Anthony Bourdain's life and work remind us that there is beauty to be found in every corner of the world, and that breaking bread with others is one of the most fundamental and powerful ways to connect with our shared humanity.' AnthonyBourdain philosophy foodie travel

I see this alot. Has it attained the list notoriety of Hunter's suitcase of drugs in Fear and Loathing?

Gross

Impressive

Don't forget the heroin. The drugs really messed him up. We need him more than ever and he's not here.

Sounds like a normal day what am I missing

“Nourished” ?

My 2nd favorite food person in the world. Been supplanted by chefjoseandres because humanitarianism.

If I remember, it was a hunk of merguez in a heel of bread. I'm an old cook though and it's been a long time.

too much aspirin, bad for the liver!

Good for him!

now that's living.

Bold and Blunt: America Must Move Past COVID Fears -- and Anthony FauciIt's high time America stop listening to the likes of Anthony Fauci and his merry batch of bureaucratic minions when it comes to socially distancing, donning face masks, getting shots, getting boosters, getting tested, getting more boosters and more boosters, to infinity and beyond. It's time to move past the fear and resume a normalcy that is completely pre-COVID -- completely without government medical mandates. Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is taking a step toward common sense by recommending males of certain ages rethink the kneejerk tendency to get the mRNA shots because, as he says, the dangers from the injections are higher than the dangers from the virus. If only more in America in the medical community especially would take a page from Ladapo's playbook. He also has a story of utter inspiration and godly intervention, called 'Transcend Fear: A Blueprint for Mindful Leadership in Public Health' -- that every American needs to put under the Christmas tree this season.
