Might be interesting. However, if tonight's episode is any indication of the future of the show, my hopes are not high for it. I guess they'll have some Lebanese 'extreme' sports people and a representative of the Lebanese version of MTV along with Tony while he visits some place that hand sews suicide bomber belts?


I was so pissed with tonight's show that I almost posted a vanity about it here...I suppose this rant will do though.

Not very impressive, was it. The food commentary was merely obligatory at best, and the remainder was just silly. Extreme skiers? MTV babes? What has this to do with food?

Bourdain even made a comment at one point about the "changing direction of the show", I'll have to Tivo it to get the exact quote. In retrospect I think (hope) he was being sardonic, because he knew they'd produced a real dog of an episode. Maybe it was just a failed experiment.
