Wow, that was a lot quicker than I expected. Second year in a row (might be third actually) that my Joker has fallen off my main team first.

 

Gawd bless 'im.

[DevonDeathTrip 2,358]

My joker as well.  For once I decided to play it safe this year.

Fatima Ali has lost her battle with cancer at the age of 29.

Dutch chef John Halvemaan died age 69. He's responsible for bringing Nouveau Cuisine to the Netherlands, and I curse him for that. What a load of crap!

 

He ran three restaurants, each being awarded wit a Michelin star.

Not a celebrity chef, rather a celebrity’s chef.

 

A top chef who cooked for Russell Crowe and James Packer has been found dead in his cafe.

Justin Bull, 46, was found dead in Huxton's cafe in Bronte, Sydney on Friday morning.

Bull worked for actor Russell Crowe and casino magnate James Packer before cooking for the New South Wales Blues team ahead of State of Origin last year.

If we're doing listamanias, André Soltner (b.1932) is the only person still living who won a James Beard Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award in the 20th century.

 

Other still living lifetime achievement winners:

2004: Alice Waters (b.1944)

2005: Jacques Pépin (b.1935)

2008: Fritz Maytag (b.1937)

2012: Wolfgang Puck (b.1949)

2013: Cecilia Chiang (b.1920)

2014: Sirio Maccioni (b.1932)

2015: Rich Melman (b.1942)

2016: Greg Boyle (b.1954)

2017: Nora Pouillon (b.1943)

2018: Paula Wolfert (b.1938)

2019: Patrick O'Connell (b.1938)

 

I know Wolfert has dementia, but I'd be lying if I said I had any major insight into the health of the rest of that gang.

[YoungWillz 21,024]

2005: Jacques Pépin (b.1935) is the only name there I'd recognise and probably obit comfortably.

[Spade_Cooley 9,515]

Add Cecilia Chiang to the list of people who look far too good for their age. She's 99:

9000 posts, far too many, really. Actually, if you count my guest phase, probably well beyond. Ah well. As Proper Post 1 was a list, and first really regular deadpooling post was a list then... yep, list coming. Here's a list of potential names and ideas for DDPs (and other pools) for folk in 2019. It's a list of frail folk, terminally ill folk, and really old folk rarely mentioned - in an attempt to provide suggestions for all persuasions of the forum. Some are Deathlisty, others more Deathracey, but pretty sure all will get a qualifying obit. Anyhow, I think a fair lot of these names will die in 2019, but there is only room for 20 on my Pan Breed team, so if you want to pick them, good luck!

-          Leah Chase (1923) – Ancient New Orleans celebrity chef and civil rights activist, the latter will see a Guardian QO no doubt. Mentioned due to age and because she’s practically Sir Creep’s neighbour.

Sympathy for Sir Creep on death of practically his neighbour, and all that.

Aye, thanks mate.  A minor avalanche of sympathy all across the wee home DP I run.

Carl Ruiz, regular judge on Guy's Grocery Games and Fieri acolyte, dead of a heart attack at 44. Probably not surprising considering this was one of his last tweets:

Suddenly got a craving for some mashed potato, don't know why...

Put some sour cream in them while you are mixing them up. Gives them a great taste and pretty white color.

Big one: Anthony Bourdain's offed himself in France aged 61.

An online auction of Anthony Bourdain’s belongings will take place from October 9 to 30, 2019.

Throughout his career as a celebrity chef, best-selling author, and award-winning TV personality, Bourdain encouraged travelers to engage with people, cultures, and places—no matter how unfamiliar.  This month, an online auction of some of Bourdain’s most treasured belongings will help fund an effort to continue that legacy. Bidding will run from October 9 to 30, 2019.  The online auction includes early writings by Anthony Bourdain, among them the original “Kitchen Confidential” manuscript. Bidding starts from $150.
