The man was so legitimately happy to be there at that Oyster bar. That's the reason we all loved him so much. Anyone can be a great writer and personality, but Tony lived it. He was authentic. I miss him.

I’ve watched this piece countless times. Bourdain had a way of taking swipes at people (in this case ‘nerds’) without said blow being a fatal one.

Watching this 6 years after it was posted and 5 years after his death. Still can't get over what a loss his passing was for this world

I grew up one town over from his hometown, but found myself in San Francisco for my first job out of school. I went to Swan Oyster Depot my first and last day in that city. On my last day I thanked the guy behind the counter for the great food and mentioned I only discovered the place thanks to Tony Bourdain. The guy’s face immediately lit up to pure joy at the bare mention of his name and we just shot the shit for a few minutes before I headed on my way. It’s a sacred place if you ask me

Anthony Bourdain looks so happy here. How I wish he could've pulled up some fond memories that would have magically made the darkness disappear.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about this man. Kind, honest, generous, considerate, humorous…even off camera, from what I’ve heard. The world has lost one it’s very finest citizens.

I haven’t watched any Anthony Bourdain in a long while since his passing. Man how I much I miss his voice, the storytelling. I still remember when I found out, it was a weekend of camping and we were heading back home, I was driving and asked my friends to check if anything happened while we were gone after having no service for 4 days.

Such a wonderful person. I wonder if he knew how much he inspired and made life interesting to not thousands but I would dare say millions of people. Maybe he wasn't told...I just wish he were still here. It sucks that he's gone. RIP Mr. Anthony Bourdain.

Tony...loved ur enthuasim and knoledge..we miss u..if u had only known we all loved you it may have been enough....

Thanks for all the iconic food shows you presented us. Hope you get good food in heaven. RIP chef.

Tony is one of those people that I was hurt the most to see go as a celebrity. He shows so much humility and love in his shows and it is sad how he went.

I always go back to his books and reread them. Such a loss when he left the world.

Crab back and a cold beer. That’s living. Thanks Anthony, I miss you.

His love to food was so deeply honest and elegant. I guess he would have loved Bilbao and his Pintxos. He loved the simple and fresh food with long tradition.The basic stuff and the special counter.I share his taste.No modern chairs or special lights to mislead. DEP Tony Saludos

There u go Tony! love it.

Just ate there this week. It is every bit as good as he makes it out to be! Wonderful food and dining experience!

I Miss Tony Glad we have hours and hours of hours To watch

Can’t believe he’s gone.🥀

An entire plate of Dungeness crab merus sections. Arguably the greatest sing bite of food in the world. That is the best part of a crab and Dungeness is the best crab there is. DAMN.

The last second is priceless.

Met him in Berkeley when he was doing a book tour for Kitchen Confidential; very humble and sweet.

He looks in great shape here and v happy

I'm only as far as Asia (heading westward from San Francisco). Next week: Tibet, the roof of the world where I'll try and pass some photos to Anthony.

It still breaks my heart every single day that that man is not with us anymore. He had such a love and zest for life that it was contagious. My love of food and travel. Became more apparent because of him. And yes living in San Francisco being a native San Franciscan. I can absolutely relay and he's right it has changed so much in the last 15-20 years that it's heartbreaking and I don't think that Anthony would recognize it. Now. But Swan Oyster Bar and Tonga room are definitely two of the places that are still intact still part of what I know as San Francisco and love about San Francisco. So thank you so much Anthony for being a part of our world here in the city and for being who you were because you were one of the best

I miss Anthony Bourdain. RIP Anthony Bourdain. You are gone, but never forgotten.

The crab fat with bread is amazing! I’m going back tomorrow lol

Gone, but never forgotten Anthony.

Best celebrity chef ever! God he's missed

Anthony, YOU will be severely missed. 😢

I happen to wander past this place the last time I was in San Francisco March ‘20. Was instantly drawn to it. Unfortunately was too crowded to get in!

Love that a bunch of this was shot at lake merritt lol

He’s still an icon!

RIP Tony you are a legend.

Went here, it’s amazing. The west coast oysters, the seafood pot, and oyster Bloody Mary.

We already miss you tony allot RIP a mans man.

The mares section of a Dungeness crab is the best bite of food on the planet and they just served Tony an entire plate of them.

Raw oysters are simply one of the best tasting things on Earth

I fled San Francisco in 1997 and The Swan is one place I really miss. Of course, Dutch Harbor Alaska, where I eventually ended up, is pretty good for crab also!

I loved every episode and now I can’t watch one without feeling a sense of guilt. Rest In Peace my friend. St.R
