Chef Bourdain

Chef Bourdain  
1956-2018

Surf and turf, a sardine in tin; will travel. 
Your downward spiral 
Magnanimity that whetted our appetite 
Fans everywhere you excite. 
Consumed the exotic and 
consumed by erotic specialty dishes. 
Five mother sauces to haute cuisine 
Mouthwatering too obscene 
You've come to your exit; I hope it’s delicious!
I celebrate you, it’s all been nutritious.

A most ignominious ending, not worthy of such a graceful man, good one, Anaya..
