I don’t remember which show of his it was, but there’s an episode of something where he hangs out in the dessert with Queens of the Stone Age for a week and cooks for them while they record.
And his love of just culture really shines. He’s so into the recording process and the music that food almost was like a background. I love it and am going to hunt it down for when I feel like I can watch it without getting all weepy.
EDIT: Found it. “no reservations - the US desert”, season 7 episode 13

Are No Reservations + his other shows on a streaming service?
Parts Unknown seasons one through eight are on Netflix, but looking it up it appears it will no longer be available come June 16.
The fact that it's leaving Netflix right now of all times is some hot fucking bullshit. I know these things are negotiated in advance, but it still fucking stings.
I didn’t really watch him but I have lots of friends and family that loved his cooking shows , he also had a very funny cameo episode in archer which is one of my favorite shows. Rest In Peace dude.
Parts Unknown is a show my dad and I have watched together, and basically every time I caught even a few seconds of it passing by my TV I'd suddenly find myself sitting down to watch the whole thing. Bourdain was just sort of entrancing like that
I found a list once that had his top ten places to eat before you die, and conveniently one of them was a Kansas City BBQ place when I was there for work
It was the first American barbeque I'd ever had and perhaps the best
Maybe I oughta see about finishing that list someday
Was it Joe's? I grew up in KCK, and that's the best BBQ for my money
Bourdain did the things I wish I was brave and eloquent enough to do. He sang the song of self destruction in service of perspective and good I will miss him terribly.

Hell yeah it was
Spent an hour and a half talking with my client about everything and anything, including how Desert Storm changed him? While eating burnt end brisket?
In retrospect, it wound up being an even more Bourdain experience that way
I brought home a huge thing of sauce and treasured it

There's a place in charleston, Rodney Scott's BBQ, that is often floated in "best in the country" lists, and when Bourdain did his episode here you had to drive an hour and a half outside the city and place an order weeks in advance to get any
Because of the show, Mr. Scott now has a place in downtown, and its INCREDIBLE, but I'm so so glad I made that drive

I didn't watch either of his shows on a regular basis, but I always liked it when I did. He seemed like a regular guy who disdained assholes and looked for the good, and the good food, everywhere.
This is hitting me kind of hard. I'm not sure why.
if there is one episode of whatever Bourdain show there is on Netflix that one should watch, what would it be
Check online to see if he did an episode in a city you're from or have lived in, or a city you loved visiting, and watch that. It might not give you that same experience of exposure to other people or cultures that one from a foreign country would...but it just might. He worked with great local contacts everywhere he went to find places that people who lived there their whole lives might not even know about, as well as the big names or can't miss specialties.

The Part Unknown episode on Iran is probably his best journalism. Honorable mention goes to the episode on the Philippines.
If you want Bourdain in his full drunken-bliss mode, I'd recommend the No Reservations episode on Croatia.
And then any episode on a city you've lived in, or is otherwise close to your heart, if you want to smile for like 40 minutes straight.

Do yourselves a favor and don't listen to any Queens of the Stone Age while thinking about Anthony's passing. Today I made the mistake of turning on Like Clockwork at the gym and began sobbing at the freeweight rack when The Vampyre of Time and Memory played. Started bawling when the album's eponymous track kicked in.

So my roommate is an alcohol distributor and I’ve been picking up on his Friday deliveries. Every restaurant I left today was a sad place.
Half of them straight up said to me have a drink for Bourdain tonight.

There was an episode of one of the shows that he went back to Les Halles and ended up eating dinner upstairs with one the prep/line cooks from the kitchen. A guy who had been working there for decades and was amazing at his work.
The other one that gets me is his trip to haiti after the earthquake.
As all of you have said, this one hits really really hard
Something incredibly sad that you may or may not want to know about his suicide (not details of method or anything crass/morbid):
His friend Eric Ripert, chef of La Bernadin, found him. I always found their interactions on tv to be incredibly sweet and charming because they seemed just really good friends. Eric always had a gentle affability to him and I can't imagine how hard it must be on him right now.
The thing in your spoiler is what fucked me up this morning. Hopefully he can find peace.
This is the thing that’s particularly upset my boyfriend. He’s gotten really angry about it and I’m letting him process it for a bit.
The boyfriend was a professional chef for seven year and still has a lot of friends in the community so I think it’s hitting him in a couple different ways right now.

So, for the most part. He did an episode on Provincetown and western Mass that is mostly about the fishing industry crash causing poverty and the opioid epidemic (respectively). Important things to talk about (although I actually have a beef with his coverage of Provincetown because he focused entirely on how the white fisherman industry there collapsed and didn't mention once that it was an extremely important and safe community for gay men for a long time, and continues to be), but definitely not super cheery.
Fair point, although I could've sworn he did mention the gay community in Provincetown. But I'll concede that your memory of that episode is probably better than mine.
You may not know, but Anthony started training Jitjitsu in his late 50's which is not easy. It's not easy when you're in your 20's. The dude was an inspiration for older guys and other non-athletes like myself who wanted to improve themselves in an environment that's dominated by absolute beasts. Every time I think of skipping the gym, that quote forces me to leave the house.

It just hit me that Mr. Bourdain passed right as I’m getting ready to move back to Taipei, which is where I first started watching his show. It seems a little silly and maybe it’s the weather, which is gloomy today, but I kind of feel like it’s not going to be the same.
Been depressed in varying degrees after his death. His show was what I'd watch when times were hard. Bourdain reminded me of all the good and warmth of the world. And now he's gone.

The good things he wanted us to know about aren’t.
I was at a wine-and-cheese night on Friday and accidentally got plastered on cabernet sauvignon (pro-tip: eat a small meal, say a decent-sized sandwich, before you go to a wine-and-cheese night and try to knock back a glass of water in between refills). Because I had driven myself to the party and there was no way I was ready to take charge of a motor vehicle straight away, I was sitting in my car with a blanket over my head, browsing on my phone and waiting for my liver to work its way through the backlog when I saw the news about Anthony Bourdain. It was the first time a celebrity death had actually made me angry, because I had a lot of respect for what Bourdain did and was doing, not just professionally but philosophically. To me, he encapsulated the very best combination of honesty and bravery: he was always fearlessly blunt in his assessment of others, but equally unafraid to turn that withering frankness back upon himself. It's something all too rare these days, when we're never more than a few keyboard strokes away from reinforcing every comfortable self-deception we have.
I got out of my car and started walking. I badly wanted a soft drink but there was nowhere open nearby, and it was friggin' freezing out, so I just paced up and down for a while, shivering and cursing under my breath, at the cold and my oncoming hangover and at Bourdain. It all seemed equally unfair, not in an objective sense but to me personally, perhaps the same way a coin looks the same size as the moon if you hold it up and close one eye.
We don't know exactly why Bourdain did what he did, but it seems fair to say that a mental illness was probably involved somehow, even if just a transient one. Whenever there's a publicised suicide like this the discussion these days is always accompanied by pleas for people to ask for help and contact a hotline or a counsellor if they're feeling like they're on the edge. This is good and completely right, but it's missing something important: the kindness and help that people need won't and can't always be asked for. It's not enough, either, to say that we need to keep a close eye on our friends who are struggling, because people can be damned geniuses at masking their problems and everyone deals with things differently. The lady with two jobs and a kid with a disability may be bouncing out of bed every morning while her single neighbour needs every speck of willpower she has just to feed her cat.
So what do we do then? Well, we just have to be indiscriminately kind to everyone, especially ourselves. Hug the world from orbit, man, it's the only way to be sure.
I finally drove home at 5:30am, drank a litre of water and crawled into bed. The next day was not fun. The only food I had in my house was a self-bake hawaiian pizza. Bourdain could probably have written a whole hilarious paragraph about it but I'm not him, so all I can tell you is it tasted like shit. As I chewed on the doughy crust and tasteless spam, I promised myself that next hangover, I'd fry a couple of eggs or make pancakes instead. Kindess starts at home, after all, and life is too damn short for bad food.

The Layover is on canadian netflix but not american

Only the Layover Season 2.
I'd never seen it so I figured, what the hell, watch it.
Episode 2 is in Paris.
