Posthumous Awards for Anthony

[paul o' vendange]

I really didn't know where to put this.  Anthony was obviously a universe more than food media.  I'm sure like all of you, I'm still really grieving him - my wife and I watch and re-watch Top Chef and were as surprised as the contestants to have him suddenly come on and fill in for Tom as a guest judge on an episode last night.  I'm tearing up as I write this.  It's impossible to accept yet.  We're trying.  I myself am still trying to find a way back into cooking.  It occurs again right now that maybe Anthony, as frank as he was, was also as compassionate as I've known; a soulful whisperer.

 

If you haven't seen it, just a little bit from CNN.

For me the most important nomination was the Lebanon one.  I posted on the page and also wrote privately a person I have known for many years asking how to get it nominated.  It was ...didn't win but should have.  It was a incredible piece of reportage.

Totally agree, Suzi.  That was incredible and typical of Anthony.  Thanks for doing that, and for the post reminding me of that.
