The biggest lesson Anthony Bourdain taught me was to choose my words as carefully as I would choose my next meal, and the person I would share that meal with. It was about reflecting empathy, honoring time, authenticity, and shared struggles…about looking to the parts unknown inside of us. Celebrating Bourdain’s life with food should be secondary, Empathy first. What Bourdain reflected to us is not a super power. It is a human ability that is free and filled with potential ripples. We must connect with ourselves and assist others in cultivating growth inside of themselves and others.
