Wow, I've never had any such take on the guy. He lways say he's lucky because he survived drugs, says his cooking isn't the best, and just is humble about himself when he meets the people in these distant places who usually live with less than the graces we enjoy.

Oh right, the bodies in the trunk tweets. What is funny, Bourdain has had product placement in his show before, but with companies he gets paid by. Silly to be mad about the car and have no problem hocking lipitor and chase sapphire.
I like Bourdain for what he is and I also think his older shows are superior.

Tony, in the narration, completely busts the guy out and talks about how miserable the whole thing made him. He then proceeds to get wasted drunk because he's so dejected about it. He also narrates that and says, "I'm glad this is on film, because I have absolutely zero recall of how this evening turned out or the conversation I'm having with this couple." It was just so refreshing for him to peel back the lens of how so many of those photo op "reality" shows stage crap and to see how much it depressed him when he was seeking an "authentic" experience. His subsequent alcoholic binge rang so true, and reminded me of something I'd do.

Love Bourdains show. The layover is great too. Definitely somebody you'd like to have a drink with and listen to his stories. He comes from the real world. Bourdain admits he was flat on his ass broke when he wrote kitchen confidential and just had a lot of things go his way.

I just thing the man is cool and hasn't sold-out to the man yet. At least not yet. And if he has, he's hiding it well. And his ability to talk about everything in his past from drugs, to his first job being in what is/was a gay town, to just how dam lucky he is to both be alive and doing so well is so cool. Add to it the nature of the show, using food to get to all these other cultures and their larger issues and a lot of history, is really something that makes me keep watching. So, for a guy who usually doesn't like CNN, AB is certainly part of what makes me rethink some of that. And even their New Year's duo is the one I'm most likely to watch because they appear to be the "NY New Year's Eve" bash equivalent of AB's take on cooking and traveling. |
