One June 8, 2018, Bourdain was found dead in a hotel room of an apparent suicide by hanging while filming on episode in Strasbourg, France for ''Series/AnthonyBourdainPartsUnknown''.

Anthony Michael Bourdain (June 25, 1956 - June 8, 2018) was a UsefulNotes/NewJersey-born American writer, chef, and television personality. He cheerily promoted the image of a proud, [[SnarkKnight sarcastic]] {{Jerkass}} on all his appearances. Beyond his surface though he could be very deep and profound, almost philosophical in his writings and monologues. If there was a real-life MrViceGuy he'd be poster boy, being a former drug and cigarette addict and to his death a huge drinker as well as a PunkRock fan. A famous chef within cooking circles for years, he grew celebrity level of fame with his 2000 book ''Literature/KitchenConfidential'', which is a dark, auto-biographical look at the cooking industry from the inside. Ironically, the book was filled with hatred and {{Take That}}s at other celebrity chefs. His works and appearances were also very trope and clique savvy and often hung lampshades on the tropes that happen in real life within the shows he's on.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}: He voices Lance Costeau, a [[ActorAllusion rude celebrity chef]] hosting a reality show in one episode.
