Somewhere Bourdain wrote that chefs from a certain Mexican state were the best cooks in the world. I can't find the reference now.

I still think Bourdain was assassinated and whatever politician or billionaire had it done had it look like it was self inflicted. A lot of dictators and billionaires loathed Anthony Bourdain. They did not like him shining spotlights on what they were doing.

You know, nothing will surprise me anymore. If for no other reason that it was Eric Ripert that found him, and they were, by all accounts, genuinely very close. I can't see Bourdain leaving so Ripert could find him. Cheating GF finds him? Possibly. Ripert? No. Absolutely not.

Shit. It's a little backcountry place. I can remember the reference, but not the name of the location. My husband is a chef, and is *obsessed* with Anthony Boudain. I loved him because of the way he used his voice. Unfortunately, this world is just too hard for some souls to keep walking in.

You loved your husband because of the way he used Boudain's voice?

That was a bit confusing, wasn't it? I loved Boudain for the way he used his voice, but... I also have an eating disorder. Avoidant Restructive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) which basically means for me, I can't stand the feeling of food in my mouth, or the sound of myself chewing...

... it's an extreme sensory processing issue my autism gifted me. If I could, I would get a feeding tube and be shot of eating food altogether because eating is something that I have to do so I don't die. I've been known to exist on boost for weeks at a time, because this isn't psychological...

... it's sensory. There is no treatment, only the aversion therapy I'm on. So when I start dropping weight, my husband starts watching No Reservations, because he knows that I'll ask a bunch of questions because I'm pathologically curious, and invariably, that will convince me to eat something...

... Once hubs figured that out, now it's his secret weapon. I'm pretty sure that Anthony Boudains ghost has kept me above my target weight for the last year. Its actually part of my safety plan lol So I guess you could say that the answer is yes to your question too?

This was very interesting to learn. Thank you for sharing. My now 17yr old son is on the spectrum and didn't start eating 'different' foods until he started cooking them. He helped me make Home chef meals at one point when we wanted to try that out. Up until that point it was cheese

sandwiches and pretzels mostly. Getting into food really helped him. Again that you for sharing your experience 😊

You're so welcome! It's a really misunderstood condition, so talking about it helps break the misperception that we somehow hate ourselves. I can see exactly how that would happen for him - and I love that he's eating more! We like consistency and control over flavours and textures. If I make it...

...it's right, because I know the minute to stop cooking it, or the exact amount of butter I want, because too little is just fine. Too much and I'll have a super hard time getting it down. I'm afraid my young neice is heading this way too, because she's a lot like me. Don't give me a bowl of...

...food and tell me I have to eat it, because I'll do it, but I will sob the entire time. Give me a quanity of food and say "this needs to be done by 4:00." That way, I can eat it at my pace, when I can tolerate it. These days, I take a multivitamin and just eat a lot of fresh fruits and...

Or, it could be because they were talking to me, and I don't speak Spanish. Would you like me to begin speaking Cree to you? Presumably you don't speak a language from Northern Canada. There is no Google Translate for it either. Don't be rude. It's unbecoming.
