Eight years ago this month I shelled out big bucks to not only hear Anthony but to also get the privilege of standing in line for a meet ‘n greet autograph session.
I took my Les Halles Cookbook and I asked The Hubs to take my copy of Medium Raw. The autograph session took place after the show and Anthony seemed a bit spent and was enjoying a few beers from a nearby ice chest.
It was the highlight of my year.
Friday was definitely a low point. I have read other bloggers that have put their feelings in much more eloquent ways than this sad post.
All I will say is I feel gut punched.
RIP, Chef.
I am keeping Bourdain’s family, friends, and co-workers in my thoughts.
