When I hear Eric say “he’s my best friend” and know that he was the one who found him always makes me tear up. I’ve watched this segment many times because the genuine friendship and love is palpable.
I wonder if Eric has any pertiant information at the possibilities of other motives about Anthony being killed? He would be smart to never tell if he does. You might want to zip it up if you do. You might end up in a mysterious passing. These two look like great friends. They must have talked about everything. ⁉️. I wonder if he also knew about Ava having a relationship with Anthony’s 16 year old son?
@@daggermouth4695 ya know... you're not wrong. I never met anthony bourdain. However his ability to present him as that "cool uncle" made himself so relatable that people really do miss him dearly. He had an ability to relate that's pretty remarkable... but hes a bitch made douchebag for killing himself and leving his corpse for his "best friend" to find. I'd never do that to someone truly important to me. I say that as a person who struggles with similar issues. I respected the shit out of him till he pulled that bullshit.
@@jeremiahmcguire1463 haha I know im not wrong. Almost every single video with any celebrity there's someone in the comment section saying " aww they're so nice and caring blah blah blah" Like they could be a literal rapist who hasn't been caught and we wouldn't know lol 🤷♂️ ( yes I know im very negative but, Productive of environment right 🤷♂️) hahah
RIP Anthony. You were truly one of the great chefs and traveller and TV show hosts we've ever seen. Condolences to your family and also yourself Eric, it would not have been easy to find your best friend like that.
When Anthony was pontficating about TV Chefs endorsing commercial products, pharmaceutical, etc. for money, he said [paraphrasing here] " they will go on selling their crap... I'll be remembered as a red stain on the TV highway"... I can emphatically state, that you are NOT a "red stain on a TV Highway"; Anthony, you are a shooting STAR , we are in tears and you are incredibly missed. As Eric said at the end Anthony Bourdain, is irreplaceable. RIP.

Wouldn't you love to sit around with Anthony and listen to his stories, eat food he prepared and just chill out with him. We're blessed that so much footage of him survived his death. He's a huge loss to the world on so many levels-
This has been one of my favorite TH-cam gems to come back to. I love seeing Tony and Eric with their bromance, and that octopus stew looks fantastic! Who knew that 5 years later, Eric would find his buddy dead. What a tragic way to go :-/
Yeah! Eric is a French chef as well as Tony's best friend. So it was without a thought that Tony invited him to his Paris episode of Parts Unknown. Apparently, Eric found him dead in his hotel room. He was the first person I thought of when I found out. It's such a waste :-/
Ohhhh, he had no idea how highly he was thought of. Truly my very favorite chef to watch. Such a loss that he is no longer with us. Love to Anthony Bourdain ❤
4 years.I am watching this and still crying.I felt like this when Princess Diana died.Also Elvis.Loved tributes to all but l would rather have them bsck.
I love you and miss you Anthony. Hearing your voice and your cherished stories have touched my life and brought me so much joy. When you left this world it was one of the saddest days. Thank you for your talent, acceptance and immense curiosity. I hope that you found peace.
As this was an older production is was still pretty incredible to view. Two of the very best individuals in the cooking world come together with love, life & friendship. Honesty and truth shine through. Appreciations for this one!
Bourdain's sense of humor is contagious and non-stop Ramones-like machine gun off the cuff. One of a kind personality whether in travel or in the kitchen.
Seeing where it all started, their friendship and partnership. This is so bittersweet. Little did Eric know that Tony would trust him to be the one with him at the end. Two amazing men starting their adventures together. I’m so sorry Eric. RIP Tony.
I love the friendship between these two, especially the part where Ripert would like to know what its like to wake up with Bourdian, hehehe, and where Ripert didn't understand the bro hug "ahh french guys". This was very fun to watch while eating my infinitely lesser cooked meal.
I just watch this today.. we all miss him deeply from all over the world, without maybe noticing he left a mark in the world. I remember I cried my eyes out when I read the news about him..I still can´t believe it...I miss you Tony ;´-(
A very specific sadness, sharp and abrupt, comes over me about half way through this video when I realize that I will never see these 2 great chefs in the same room together. At first it is just 2 friends together, cooking, drinking and having so much fun, but then the reality sets in. My heart is heavy for Bourdain's loss, but it is far more heavy for those who actually/REALLY knew him. Yes, I'm speaking to you Eric, even though you may never see this. I think he was a great man because of the stories I've heard/seen, however you know he will always be a great man, for you knew him better than most. Anthony Bourdain is one of the few reasons I became a cook, and I will always cherish his memory. R.I.P. Chef. Thank you for who you were and for ALWAYS being brutally honest and wholesomely realistic. No one will ever surpass your culinary story telling.
Reserve Channel, how kind & generous for the recipe especially the seafood stew as I was wondering about it as it looked so delicious while Eric spooned to taste it. Thanks!
Bourdain was a man He lived a full life and if you were anything like him possibly you would understand that he was tired. People that must continue to work work work to keep the demons at bay get tired of fighting the demons. Some may think the demons won but I can say that did not. Do not feel sorrow for a MAN that didnt, or doesnt, ever want sorrow felt for him. We were lucky to have experienced him so be happy and joyous.
getdennis Just want to say "Goodby Anthony" Will miss your stories, cooking an your special smile, happy voice, You always let everyone be themselves without any "reservations". My guy , i never got to meet. I will miss you. Peace Anthony.
Self loathing leads to self destruction and self destruction leads to self loathing. What a tragic paradox Anthony’s life was. Brilliant, interesting, articulate, boldly candid but he just couldn’t stop the inner raging....and his rage had no source, no target. That’s the saddest part. It was mind chaos and will anyone ever know why or from where it originated? In the end he was such an amazing and lovable LOVABLE guy. Tremendous loss. Eric embodies purity in every sense. What a beautiful, real friend for Anthony to have had. Just feel sad watching this today. Sometimes the ending of a life can be interrupted or thwarted as easily and as simply as a moment’s distraction by an unexpected call of a visit from a friend. A second’s delay can literally be all the time and distraction it takes to redirect a despairing person’s thoughts.
Even I could see it coming and of course (sadly) I did not know him. He was getting 'darker' in his last few shows. And yes. It takes one to know one.😥
15:20 Holy shit, that was unexpected, coming from Professional Chef, Eric Ripert! "You know what, it's fucking good!" I laughed so hard when I heard that
Tank you for an awesome show and storytelling experience from both of you, You are real chefs and incredible cooks and best of everything for the 2 of you.!!!
When ER busted out that Pappy's I almost lost it, knowing how much AB loves that stuff. And he gifted the bottle to him! Those things are almost impossible to get, so the gift had a lot of weight to it. Very good episode, y'all. Love these guys. And I'm holding out hope I'll get to try Pappy's some day, too. =D
I just loved Anthony. I’ve read everything he’s ever written. I’ve prepared (or tried to prepare) many of his recipes. He was my hero for many years. Even though, as a clinical psychologist, I clearly saw his dark side, I always thought he loved and appreciated life enough not to take his own life. I was devastated by his suicide. I couldn’t believe it! I still am bothered by his death. I guess he was more impulsive than I thought. RIP Anthony Bourdain. I truly miss you, especially the work you did for television. ❤
you should watch his travel shows. the guy is hilarious. he could narrate paint drying and it would be entertaining. his shows: The Layover, Parts Unknown with Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations, and A Cook's Tour. And you can watch a lot of those on Hulu for free.
as a professional cook i have to say that Tony has the perspective that so many of us do in the kitchen. Love and respect for food and serving that is under a shadow of a desire to do something much easier and more glamorous. But in the end we are cooks/chefs. An undeniable and almost predestined obligation. Also, who else would have us?
When I hear Eric say “he’s my best friend” and know that he was the one who found him always makes me tear up. I’ve watched this segment many times because the genuine friendship and love is palpable.
I feel the same way. i have so much love for these two
I think of Eric...so private.
The depth of his grief most likely can't be measured or described...to us anyway.😢
I wonder if Eric has any pertiant information at the possibilities of other motives about Anthony being killed? He would be smart to never tell if he does. You might want to zip it up if you do.

@@judytinker3392in the CNN documentary Roadrunner, Eric pretty much refused to comment on the reasoning behind Tony's suicide
Watch them - Marseille Parts Unknown, they are so cute together buddying laughing joking pissing ...
just watched this today in 2021 and I still miss him like he was my cool Uncle. I am sure Eric misses his "brother" deeply.........so sad
Really someone you've never met or lived with lol. Settle down you're not that sad.
I miss him too.

4 1/2 now
RIP Anthony. You were truly one of the great chefs and traveller and TV show hosts we've ever seen. Condolences to your family and also yourself Eric, it would not have been easy to find your best friend like that.
I love watching Eric and Anthony together in the kitchen. The best and most fun of Bourdain’s episodes were when he invited Eric. So great!!!
I love the bromance between these two. I could watch them hang out all day.
LOL hang
I love you Anthony - this video makes me cry. I am glad, however, that Eric was your friend, because he truly loved you.

I miss him so much. It’s been almost 4 years and I’m finally able to watch his content again without crying

I still can’t do it without tears
you were personal friends?
@@bryanpinto4051 are you serious or dense?
RIP Anthony Bordain. I just watched this for the first time. Loved it. I loved Anthony's personality.
We are gonna miss this guy! RIP Anthony Bourdain.
Everything Tony says, comes across as the most interesting convo in the. room. Tony was the definition of cool. RIP Chef
I just love Anthony Bourdain.
I cry every fucking time I see one of Bourdain's videos. I can't even imagine Ripert's pain. RIP, one of the greatest.
watch Sloan bella psychic, Anthony says eric murdered him, I did not commit suicide
Thats a load of nonsense. I've seen many of Sloan Bellas shows and she doesn't even research her cases and gets many things wrong.@@lawrenceearl687
@@lawrenceearl687BS
EVERYONE MISSES HIM DEARLY!!! WHAT a light HE was!!
Nice to see someone on TV who is not a sellout.
Anthony does not act as a shill for products he has nothing to do with.
This man has taught me a lot about humility and self forgiveness...and striving to always do better in life and as a person.
I love you and miss you Anthony. Hearing your voice and your cherished stories have touched my life and brought me so much joy. When you left this world it was one of the saddest days. Thank you for your talent, acceptance and immense curiosity. I hope that you found peace.
Yea my days got a little less bright when i heard of his early departure.. I ALWAYS AND STILL LOVE HIS STORY TELLING... R.I.P ANTHONY..
It’s truly sad about the end of his life but I personally admired him for all the things he has done.
Currently binging No Reservations on TH-cam Never gets old Ty Tony
Such a great relationship. Their true 'brotherhood' shows through. Unfortunately, such a sad, sad ending! R.I.P., Anthony Bourdain.
RIP Anthony. I hope you finally find peace. I watched all your shows and enjoyed every minute
They both make me smile.. I'm going to miss Anthony's excitement and forwardness.
"I benefitted from low expectations." Oh wow! 🤣😂 Just appreciated this man.
Have you read Kitchen Confidential?
I just love how you 2 are just genuine friends. Making fun and laughing. RIP AB
Anthony Bourdain is the best
"He's my best friend." It's so sad that Eric Ripert was the one who found him. RIP Anthony Bourdain.
Oh, wow! I didnt know that!
As this was an older production is was still pretty incredible to view. Two of the very best individuals in the cooking world come together with love, life & friendship. Honesty and truth shine through. Appreciations for this one!
Down to earth! I can’t believe he is gone!!!
The bourbon that they were drinking and was givin as a gift to Anthony is called Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve.
griller506 holy shit, what?!
griller506 thank you
griller506 the age of that bourbon?
betty3tes 20 year.
Matt Meade thanks Matt:)
Anthony's honesty, energy & zest for life was infectious - shock to know that he's gone.
Bourdain's sense of humor is contagious and non-stop Ramones-like machine gun off the cuff.
One of a kind personality whether in travel or in the kitchen.
This man was my idol. My heart still breaks.
Never tire of watching this video over and over and over again. Always entertaining. Thank you.
Loved his Transparency, RIP Anthony.
It was absolutely fantastic to see them when they toured. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Seeing where it all started, their friendship and partnership. This is so bittersweet. Little did Eric know that Tony would trust him to be the one with him at the end. Two amazing men starting their adventures together. I’m so sorry Eric. RIP Tony.
Got me crying again
Tony's reaction to the (oh so hard to get) Pappy Van Winkle was precious- like a kid getting a shiny new bike! 8:49
His reaction to the Pappy is PRICELESS almost worth the heartache I feel watching this
I love the friendship between these two, especially the part where Ripert would like to know what its like to wake up with Bourdian, hehehe, and where Ripert didn't understand the bro hug "ahh french guys". This was very fun to watch while eating my infinitely lesser cooked meal.
It's been years and I still come back to watch all his stuff cold 12 pack of cheap beer good food ac on and just enjoy the adventure!
Anthony Bourdain representing Portuguese cooking! You rock Tony.
Two great friends, I am so sorry Mr. Ripert 😥 Tony will be missed dearly!
A certain sadness comes over me watching this.
Wow... 6th sense?
exactly... why??
A prophet!
Because Tony committed suicide yesterday and Eric was the one who found him.
RedShift76 No, I totally know what you mean. My question is why he felt that way 3 years ago. I don't get it 😐
Miss you Anthony! No one can match your view, your passion and ability to share your experiences. Rest In Peace.
It breaks my heart how many of us loved him and he had no idea.
I love how casually he just told us that he's aided and abetted😁. They were truly connected. Much respect to this personal sharing of a true friend🤗
9:26 the way Eric says that, the way he looks at Tony. He really loved him. It breaks my heart.
Tony, you will never be crushed under the wheels of history with the remarkable legacy of your travels available on video.
Extremely entertaining program... 2 very wonderful ppl...
The recipe is in the info below the video.
Anthony Bourdain is a JEWEL!! I love this man
I truly miss this man! Even though I've never met him in person, he truly touched me in a place that can't be explained.
it is really kind of strange, Anthony is one of the few people on T.V. who can think and talk at the same time and it comes out real.
I just watch this today.. we all miss him deeply from all over the world, without maybe noticing he left a mark in the world. I remember I cried my eyes out when I read the news about him..I still can´t believe it...I miss you Tony ;´-(
He was one of a kind… blunt and very honest… who would you see being like this.. I can’t think of no one…
This is a heavy interview. Really interesting to hear Bourdain tell his story. He obviously likes Ripert.
Mr. Ripert, sorry for your loss of your best friend. Thanks for this wonderful first episode with Bourdain. Keep on Truckin...

Love Tony, loved the way he narrated, he was one of the kind, truly miss him, pray that your sole is at peace.
love eric's accent. i just love anthony's bad boy attitude
I have seen almost everything Bourdain has done.
This is perhaps the best one-on-one he has ever taken part in.
Watching this now just hurts. It almost looks as if Eric has seen this coming since the very beginning.
Even I could see it coming and of course (sadly) I did not know him. He was getting 'darker' in his last few shows. And yes. It takes one to know one.😥
RIP Anthony Bourdain. You were one of the best!
