Every Sunday, you could escape for a short while and see the world through Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown." You saw different countries while he was eating their foods and making friends all over the world.

When he was in the Pittsburgh area, he talked to many individuals and you could see in his heart and soul that he made a connection and truly listened to people.

Yes, he was a chef, yet he touched the world. He was a gentle giant. He touched my life. He lived his life the right way and made a difference by bringing joy to my life and others. He will be missed.
