I like Zimmerman better than Bourdain. I always feel like Bourdain is looking for a $2 Malaysian hooker when the camera is off.
To a degree, I agree with you. I think the explanations are necessary, especially to folks who don’t travel much. When I was growing up in the Fifties and Sixties, many of our neighbors thought steamed fish with the head and tail on was exotic.
I do think Andrew’s attire leaves a lot to be desired, especially considering how rotund he looks in snug-fitting clothes.
One neighbor’s blonde, blue-eyed daughter was very curious about “strange” foods and customs. When she was little, I taught her how to use chopsticks as well as explained many of the dishes to her. She eventually studied Japanese in college and went to work for the Bank of Tokyo. In the Eighties, her parents showed us a photo (drop-dead gorgeous) from her MBA graduation. I’m glad our family helped to spark her curiosity.
