I've always enjoyed his travel shows and wished that I could travel like he did, with local 'fixers' that would take him to places that ordinary tourists might never discover on their own. And unlike so many other travel shows, his always dug beneath the surface to reveal sometimes little-known and interesting facts about the places he visited.
I once saw him while on a speaking tour to promote one of his books. After a few minutes talking about the book, he just started winging it, talking off the cuff and taking questions from the audience. Man, that guy had some stories...he probably could've gone on all night.
I thought that he wasn't looking all that well lately and hoped that he wasn't falling back into hard drugs. I was unaware of his emotional issues and was very sorry to hear of his passing...RIP Anthony Bourdain.

I'm a bit surprised to hear about this. Considering his lifestyle, I'd always thought that he'd soon be joining the ranks of those in the crosshairs.
