The Top Chef family is mourning the death of Howard "Howie" Kleinberg.

The Florida-based chef, who competed on season three of the culinary competition series, passed away July 22, according to his obituary. He was 46 years old. Kleinberg's mother, Susan, told the Miami Herald he died of a heart attack.

"I am just finding out how many lives he touched," she shared with the publication. "He was married to his passion in life, which was his cooking."

After learning of Kleinberg's passing, Top Chef paid tribute on social media. "The #TopChef family is saddened to learn about the unexpected passing of Howard Kleinberg from season three," a post from the Bravo show's official Twitter account read. "Howie's passion for cooking filled so many and our deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends."

He came in seventh or something from what I saw elsewhere. I am not sure this is newsworthy. He’s not the first man to die of a heart attack in his forties and won’t be the last.

He had his fan base.
Nope, not the first 40 something year old to have a fatal AMI but the reason might be more obvious.

He was his own favorite customer.

Which is the main reason I never opened a tavern!

From his picture he looks medium large but not obese. Maybe it was the vax.

Perhaps another booster would have saved him? I hear COVID-19 causes myocarditis and myocardial infarctions

What about 40 year olds that had fatal Heart Attacks from 2019 and back?

Perhaps they’re time travelers? Travelled forward, got the vax then went back to 2016 or something?

Oh.

Didn’t know we added AMIs now.

I’ll try to keep up.

What about toe nail fungus? Any word on that?
