To say that "Kitchen Confidential" changed my life would be a childish understatement. To say that the bravado and gusto with which AB embraced living changed the way I chose to then live would not even come close to awarding him the hold and power he had over me. And he didn't want that.
He never wanted that.
"A Cooks Tour" the show was mind-altering, life-altering, nothing short of human race-changing television.
"No Reservations" took it beyond that.
"Parts Unknown" began to show a change in the way the world impacted AB. (For the record I always refer to him as "Tony" because that's just some dumb thing I do.) He was feeling. For a man who spent a very long time trying to remove that capacity from his brain, it was surprising. The world was no longer just an oyster to swallow from the sea. There was a story of humanity behind each tale.
I'm not surprised. That's all I can say.
