>>>Bourdain's a cool cat that's made a nice life for himself.<<<

Watching his shows makes me wish I had followed up my career as a fry-cook in a Howard Johnson's at the age of 17.....and been smart enough to follow his path.

The man is obviously having a good time

"and been smart enough to follow his path."

I just finished Kitchen Confidential - kind of a professional autobiography - and am now on The Nasty Bits.

He gives the impression that much of his career has been an ugly and brutal slog.

"His path" is probably the best way to put it, because no one would go the way he's gone if they didn't truly love their profession. In fact Bourdain does make the point several times that its a calling for him, much more than a mere job.
