As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

The only show I've ever really watched him on was The Taste (I think that was the name), and he came off as a pompous asshole. Just a real "I'm better than you in every way" type of personality. His statements on politics were that of your typical left leaning and ill informed celebrity. Very much in the "Europe does it better" area. (I mean he had a show on CNN, so he certainly wasn't going to be right wing.)

Not speaking ill of him, just stating the only exposure I ever had to him, which was one show and several political statements that made the news.

I know he loved food, but his arrogance and mean demeanor didn't seem to be food based, ala Gordon Ramsey.

Well, he's better at killing himself than most people are.

TBH, when a celeb "suicides" by hanging, I usually assume autoerotic asphyxiation (and if it's any other cause of death, I assume drugs).

But this is interesting.

Also a Weinstein connection:
Bourdain has spoken out frequently about the numerous allegations against Weinstein, the once all-powerful Hollywood mega-mogul who has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than 50 women, and of rape by at least nine.

Bourdain is currently dating actress Asia Argento, who accused Weinstein of raping her in an explosive exposé this month by Ronan Farrow in the New Yorker. Earlier this month, Bourdain blasted former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinotn, who received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Weinstein over several years, for her assertion that she did not know about Weinstein’s behavior. Bourdain called an interview Clinton conducted with Fareed Zakaria on the subject of Weinstein “shameful in its deflection and disingenuousness.”

Ditto.

For the rest of your posts, are you implying murder?
