Reactions to Anthony Bourdain's death

Barney Greengrass, a Jewish deli in Manhattan, set out Anthony Bourdain's usual breakfast order alongside an empty chair, according to a tweet from a reporter at CNN affiliate NY1.

On the table: Nova Scotia lox and egg scramble, bagels, coffee and juice.

"He was a customer here for many years," Barney Greengrass owner Gary Greengrass told CNN. "He came in the store [and] made everyone feel at home."

Greengrass remembers Bourdain's favorite breakfast order: Nova Scotia eggs and onions--sometimes a bagel.

"He was true to who he was; he was a regular guy," said Greengrass. "TV makes you famous but he never acted that way. Never looked for anything special.

Former President Barack Obama says he'll always remember the meal he shared with Anthony Bourdain in Vietnam.

"He taught us about food — but more importantly, about its ability to bring us together. To make us a little less afraid of the unknown. We’ll miss him," Obama tweeted.

Bourdain and Obama dined together in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2016.

Over a dish of Bun Cha, Obama shared personal stories and reflected on his own international travels. 

Here's how Bourdain described the dinner:

CNN mourns the loss of Anthony Bourdain, our beloved friend and colleague who died today at 61.

A gifted storyteller, writer, chef and activist, he inspired so many people to travel, to explore new cultures, and to connect with people around the world through good food and wide-ranging conversations.

We welcome here any memories, moments or inspiration “Tony” gave to you.

"Forever with me Tony. Looking at the spoon tattoo we share fills my heart with so much sadness today, but forever will be a reminder that you believed in me," Lefebvre tweeted.

The Travel Channel and Food Network, which each ran an Anthony Bourdain show, have tweeted about the news of the chef's death.

"He was an incredible talent who showed us beautiful, gritty, complicated and delicious places in every corner of the world," the Travel Channel tweeted.

Food Network retweeted the Travel Channel's message, adding information for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline:

First, he hosted "A Cook's Tour" on the Food Network, then moved to the Travel Channel with "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations," a breakout hit that earned two Emmy Awards and more than a dozen nominations.

In 2013, both Bourdain and CNN took a risk by bringing him to the news network still best known for breaking news and headlines. Bourdain quickly became one of the principal faces of the network and one of the linchpins of its prime-time schedule.

TV personality and "Chopped" host Ted Allen shared a photo os himself talking with Anthony Bourdain.

"Tony Bourdain made the world a smarter, better place," Allen wrote.
