A Spoonful of Sofrito: RIP Anthony Bourdain!

A Spoonful of Sofrito: A pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.

RIP Anthony Bourdain!


Sofrito Lovers,

Anthony Bourdain's suicide has been a trending topic for days now.  I've found it very difficult to express how I feel about this tragedy.  I didn't know the man, but I deeply admired his love of food, culture, and his support of working class people in the culinary world.  Simply put: I was a fan!

Many of us foodies loved and admired him for his adventurous spirit and his willingness to go where few others would go to experience culinary culture.  He visited the Bronx and sung its praises to the world, that visit changed the Bronx culinary scene forever.

His passing will have reverberations throughout the culinary world for a long time. His passing teaches us that we must destigmatize mental illness.  His passing teaches us to care for one another, to make connections, and be supportive.  You never know when that bowl of soup you bring someone might keep them from making a life-altering mistake.

Rest in Peace and Power Anthony Bourdain.  We will miss you!

Check out his historic visit to the Bronx:
