Bourdain was in Strasbourg, France where he was filming an episode for the 12th season of his TV series, Parts Unknown. Fellow celebrity chef, Eric Ripert, discovered the late Bourdain in his hotel room after he reportedly took his own life.

The Smithsonian once referred to the celebrity chef as the “original rockstar” of the culinary world.

CNN, for whom Bourdain hosted Parts Unknown stated that, “his love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.”

Fellow celebrity cookbook author, Chrissy Teigen, paid tribute to Bourdain, calling him one of her idols:

Anthony. One of my idols. Unapologetic, passionate and one of the best storytellers on the planet. Thank you for making food so exciting. And always standing up for everything right. Horrible. Why why why. Be at peace now

Hamilton star, Lin-Manuel Miranda, revealed how the chef had made him brave:

Bourdain's exceptional writing made this one formerly picky, fearful eater very brave and want to try everything and I'll always be grateful for him and the worlds he opened

And even former US President Barack Obama, whom Bourdain interviewed in Hanoi, highlighted “Tony’s” ability to bring people together:

“Low plastic stool, cheap but delicious noodles, cold Hanoi beer.” This is how I’ll remember Tony. He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him. pic.twitter.com/orEXIaEMZM

Bourdain, who was twice divorced, is survived by his daughter, Ariane.

According to the show’s details, My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman will be a monthly event on Netflix. The five additional episodes of the show will air each month from February to June and will feature an influential guest line-up consisting of George Clooney, Malala Yousafzai, Jay-Z, Tina Fey and Howard Stern.

“Each 60-minute episode of My Next Guest is centered around one extraordinary figure whom Dave finds fascinating,” Netflix described the series. “In interviews that take place both inside and outside of a studio setting, the conversations are intimate, in-depth and far-reaching, with the levity and humor Dave’s fans know and love. Field segments will bring Dave to locations far and wide, expressing his curiosity and desire to dig deeper on a specific topic related to the iconic guest featured in the episode.”

Letterman previously hosted 6,028 episodes of talk shows Late Night and Late Show, which made him the longest-serving late night talk show host in American television history. He retired from the Late Show in 2015 and didn’t participate in TV-related projects since. Still, Netflix lured him back and announced My Next Guest Needs No Introduction in August 2017.

“I feel excited and lucky to be working on this project for Netflix.” Barack Obamasaid Letterman at the time. “Here’s what I have learned, if you retire to spend more time with your family, check with your family first. Thanks for watching, drive safely.”
