The world has lost another luminary this week.
CNN confirmed this morning (June 8) that Anthony Bourdain had taken his own life. He was in France working on a new episode of Parts Unknown. His close friend, French chef Eric Ripert, reportedly found Bourdain unresponsive in his hotel room.
Bourdain had several successful food and travel TV shows and books, and will go down as one of the most influential chefs whose reach went outside of just the culinary world. In 2013, he won a Peabody Award for Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown for “expanding our palates and horizons in equal measure.”
In October of 2014, CNN aired an episode of Parts Unknown that focused on the birthplace of Hip Hop, the Bronx. In it, he interviews Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Kool Herc, Melle Mel, Futura 2000, and Desus. He also comments on the rich cultural history of the borough, especially the significance of Hip Hop today: “Hip Hop, which is now the soundtrack to every commercial, every football game, every song, everything we hear on the radio, everything.”
The outpouring of support and gratitude for Bourdain’s contributions during his career has been overwhelming from Hip Hop personalities and beyond.
HipHopDX sends condolences to Bourdain’s fans, friends and family.

RIP Loved his shows and learned so much about restaurants/places around the World.He often talked about his past addiction.
The JWO done did it. Bourdain’s gf Asia Argento was accusing Harvey Weinstein with the whole#MeToo thing.
Anthony was a jevv who was calling for white genocide in that one episode filmed in Germany he was very vocal about his hate for white man. Look up what David Duke said about that on his podcast.
Your 100% right. Some episodes Anthony would say wild shit where I know his white congregation counterparts would totally disagree with his views. Especially the colonization certain countries by the white man. But then again I also seen episode where he would say “I love this place and this will be the last time come here” something along those lines so he could kinda planned his suicide but RIP
Yeah the whole colonization stuff he would of course keep talkin about to impose white guilt on the viewers. Typical jevvish behaviour, make the white man hate himself enough to accept his own genocide.
I don’t hate myself. Just your racist punk ass. Fuck Off! Ruining my morning with all this bullshit. Go play in traffic and never have kids
Telling people to look up a podcast by a known white supremacist smh you must be crazy
Rest in peace anthony bourdain he was a gee wasnt scared to go to the hoods to check out the eating spots with snoop in bmore
