DiLisio’s Italian Family Restaurant.  Italian food like you’re sitting, eating in Naples. Wonderful Italian dishes from traditional spaghetti and lasagna to contemporary delights. Rich, flavorful sauces, a variety of pasta options, seafood, meat and more. Just south of Downtown and Business 40 (SOB40).

The Coolest Guy in the Room Just Left

My favorite celebrity chef died this morning of an apparent suicide. I loved Anthony Bourdain and I wrote about it on my daily blog, Useless Things Need Love Too, today.

One thing that I didn’t mention in that blog post was how much Bourdain shaped what this blog/podcast/vlog has become. I wanted to do more interviews, bring awareness and point out my views on things. When I started out, I was just a pseudo food critic. I wasn’t very good at it. I wanted more and I want even more and much of that was how Bourdain did his shows. It was an awareness, an activist’s platform, a learning tool, a cooking show and a travel show. That’s what I want this to be more of. I don’t have the budget or means that he had but I want to make it the best I can.

But, to read more about what I said about him, please consider reading my post on the daily blog. You can read that HERE.

Thank you, Tony, for everything. Rest well, sir.
