No Reservations w/ Anthony Bourdain

[Buckeye Maniac]

That makes sense. Also, there is a finite number of places in the world interesting enough to fill an hour of television. I suspect if he want to keep this as a steady gig for a while longer, they're going to have to start rationing locations.

He did Cleveland, he can do anything.

And had skyline as his first meal. LOL. Total slap in the face. You have to wonder if it was intentional.

I'm sure it was. His guide was in visible agony on their way there.

On that note, he should have gone to Cincinnati instead. We have much better food down here.

Skyline, goetta, Montgomery Inn, Graeters, Hofbrauhaus (oldest one in the US), and he could take a trip to Jungle Jims to finish it off.

Yeah, I agre. I lived in Mason for a few years. Much more enjoy Cincy food than Cleveland.

Bourdain's new show on CNN started last night. You can watch the first episode online here:

I kept an open eye on bleeps or if Bourdain would censor himself and go "corporate", since he's on CNN now. They allowed the S* word and I didn't hear any bleeps.

He said they fade the audio on the F* word (no bleeps).

When I watch Sunday's episode live, seeing those Myanmar teenagers trying to sell those trinkets to tourist rather than going to school kind of disappointed me (but everyone needs money).

 

[CentralMOBuck]

The show felt more like No Reservations when it first started, which is a damn good thing.

Tony just looks burnt out from his travels and needs to retire with grace.

I think he said, in a typical year, he spends over 300 days on the road (which is a lot).

After two episodes, like "Parts Unknown" better, worse or the same as the Travel Channel show? Too soon to tell?

I do like they featured Koreatown (in L.A.).

I hadn't even realized No Reservations had lost something until I saw the new show. Feels like everything is new again. Love the locations.

 

[VBSJ]

Love the locations.

Yeah, I'm thinking North Korea should be his new destination for a show

Seriously though, when he moved to CNN, he said he wanted to go to countries he previously didn't have access to (and CNN said they could get him in).

He could go to NK and eat....grass?

Myanmar was awesome. I really want Korean food now. I don't know where he's going next week but I'm gonna watch.

I'm trying to envision a Nork Fixer.

Scary thought.

He/She is probably armed to the teeth

After that Laura Ling thing, I don't think film crews want to go close to N.Korea.
