More Than A Plate (Anthony Bourdain <3)

[Verse 1]
It's not just a meal, man, it’s a path to explore,
He’d pull up a chair, make a stranger's tale his own for sure,
A rebel with a fork, nah, he’s deeper than that,
He’d crack open hearts where most just see the fat.

[Chorus]
From that kitchen heat to foreign streets,
He found the soul where the world would meet,
With knives and wit, he shaped a view,
Of what’s raw, what’s real, and what’s true.

[Verse 2]
He'd laugh at the fame, oh, he'd see through the game,
Never chasing riches, just those faces and names,
Of the ones who gave more than food on a plate,
In each bite, he'd show us our fate.

[Bridge]
Lonely, yet bold, with a heart that sought more,
He'd walk through the dark, but opened new doors,
To flavors, to people, to truths we might miss,
Here's to the man who danced in the abyss.

[Chorus] (repeat)
From that kitchen heat to foreign streets,
He found the soul where the world would meet,
With knives and wit, he shaped a view,
Of what’s raw, what’s real, and what’s true.

[Outro]
Yeah, he carved out what’s real, what’s raw, what’s true,
More than a plate, he gave us a clearer view...
[Soft fade out, with a reflective groove]
