conv: Anthony Bourdain was a huge inspiration for me when I worked in a kitchen. Everyone I have worked with has read "Kitchen Confidential". When he passed away I felt we had lost an ally and a friend. Everyone I have ever worked with in a kitchen has either already read "Kitchen Confidential"_comma_ or I have made them read it. We were all devastated when Anthony Bourdain passed away earlier this year. Oh_comma_ I haven't read it_comma_ but I was also sad to hear he passed He started from the bottom and worked his way up. He had a passion for people as well as food_comma_ and we all still look up to him. Yes_comma_ too bad he was struggling with his depression and couldn't seek help
