It's still hard to believe he's gone.
Anthony Bourdain would have been 62-years-old on Monday, and his famous chef pals marked his birthday by paying tribute to him on social media. The Parts Unknown star tragically committed suicide on June 8 in France, but he'll never be forgotten.
"Happy birthday Tony. We all miss you so much," Momofuku owner David Chang captioned a black-and-white photo of the pair in happier times.
Top Chef‘s Richard Blais shared a pic of a mural drawn in the late TV host's honor. "Happy Birthday Chef. Amazing tribute work from @never1959 on the West Side. ðŸ™ðŸ» @anthonybourdain ," it read.
Jose Andres preserved AB's graffiti signature on the bar in his Washington D.C. restaurant, and shared the image with his followers. "Happy Birthday Tony @bourdain This is your signature on the bar the last time you came to @Oyamel! A margarita to@m you my friend, now and always! @ericripert @mdgoulding Everyone have a drink today in his honor....anywhere you are! #welovetony," he posted.
We only wish he was here to see this outpouring of love.
