Loved his shows and loved how cool he always looked. I remember thinking about how he seemed to have it all figured out and I looked up to the way he carried himself in all circumstances. His show was not about food anymore, it was about his arc as a character himself, the intro for that SF episode with all the jiujitsu or that other one where he goes to the Borneo jungle for the second time and is forced to kill a pig.
I'm listening to old podcast interviews and damn, his voice.
I respect his decision. But please talk to people, try to reach out, send PMs, say hi.
