I don't know why it's in DC, but I do like it. I think it's great that he shows you every-day life areas of places he visits.

I agree. I know when I come across it I usually don't change the channel. I'm not as interested in the US-based stuff because I'm here (although it's not "bad"), but the overseas stuff is shown through a very interesting journalistic lens.

It's a fantastic collection of video essays on place. Wonderful show.
The comparison to Guy Fieri is bizarre, however. Also GD, this should have been posted in the Media Center subforum. |

And the comparison to Guy Fieri was that they have cool jobs, nothing more. I know this, I'd rather have either of their jobs most of the time. Anthony for the travel and meeting of people the world-ver, Guy Fieri for the the awesome food! |

Except Guy Fieri's job just may give him a heart attack some day.

On the subject of Fieri's show - his schtick is kind of annoying but I do like how he goes in the kitchen of those places and has them show you how they cook. Gives me a lot of respect for these people that go to a ton of effort just to make one dish.

But alas this is more about Anthony and his more thought-provoking work, not the gut-filling awesomeness Guy exposes (but is very cool to watch being made and trying to duplicate at home)... |

I prefer Bourdain's prevous shows. They were travel shows disguised as a food show. This one seems more like a news documentary than a travel show. Maybe it is just me.

I'm a big fan, watch him all the time, reruns on Travel and the new one on CNN. He's mellowed quite a bit over the years, he isnt nearly as snarky and snooty as he used to be.
Watched a really excellent on in Cambodia just the other night, its just good tv, you learn something about how to make exotic foods and learn something about the world while you're at it. |
