Anthony Bourdain Knife Skills.mov

“The real pain comes from the knowledge that.. you’re really an idiot.” - Anthony Bourdain.

He's using an 8" Victorinox chef's knife with the Fibrox handle. There are way more expensive knives out there, but this is one of the best knives you can buy, and it's a bargain. Very popular with chefs and used frequently in restaurant kitchens. They used to run $25 bucks or so, but now cost $38 US on Amazon. In Canada, they cost about $46Cdn. A bargoon. Get one by all means if you need a knife. Light, thin blade, easy to hone and sharpen.

Who knew a man like him was suffering from depression. Brother & sisters, if you’re feeling down pls speak to someone

This video taught me how to cut onions for the first time, so many years ago. RIP.

Anthony was brutally honest and wise. I was taught how to chop onions nearly 30 years ago by a classically trained chef and I've never cut myself or shed tears since. So sorry that he took his life. As much as he gave already I'm sure he had more to give us.

I used to walk by Les Halles almost every night on my way home in my early days as a struggling line cook in NYC - you could press your nose up against the glass, just outside of the bar side windows and see across the bar, a little window, just over the end of the bar next to the kitchen door- I remember the flurry of activity revealed through that little window and the mountains of plates of classic French Bistro dishes carried out through that door almost nonstop by frantic waiters til the wee hours of the morning. I later realized that this was the kitchen that Anthony worked in just prior to his "Kitchen Confidential" days. Great memories!

I loved all 4 of his shows. He gave me the spark to see the world. The way he poetically wrapped up every show was so beautiful and moving it made me want to jump on a plane and follow in his footsteps. RIP to legend, Anthony Bourdain

Unsurpassed humor and knowledge of not only the food world, but our actual world. Never to be forgotten.

My legend...rip

Even a basic concept of cooking becomes a great learning took from a master with words wizrs Mr Bourdain....I amongst millions will truly miss you Tony

“There was some jerkoff on tv” had me dying😂😂 but miss you Anthony good chief and a even better human being

My father taught me this when I was about 8 years old maybe younger, he had me cutting veggies and peeling potatoes at that age.. We grew up in Jersey just like Bourdain.. The world lost a good man the day he left this earth.. Only celebrity death that had me feeling like I lost someone I knew personally.. It still hurts to think about it or watch him, the way he articulates the English language has always and still does keep me captivated.. RIP Tony 🙏🙏🏼 we miss you

Watched this when I started culinary school. R.i.p.

Anthony Michael Bourdain (June 25, 1956 – June 8, 2018) Rest in Peace

I feel so sad. As humans we try to protect ourselves so hard. All his life as a chef he’d have cut onions this way to keep his fingers save until one day he passed away. English isn’t my mother tongue but I hope I conveyed my message. Please be kind and love people and be compassionate. RIP Anthony

Rest in peace, started watching his shows a few years ago and he was full of life.

might sound weird, but i didn't truly know how to appreciate food until this guy.

Salute, miss this guy everyday.

I fucking MISS Tony so much. I was just an idiot teenager back when No Reservations first came out. He taught me about food, about culture, politics, how big this world really is & to embrace it. My kids will definitely watch his work & will understand how deep this journey can be. RIP Tony

The excruciating pain of going back to your hero’s videos to strengthen your fundamentals 💔 R.I.P. Chef!
