LOL, I agree. Bourdain is REAL ROUGH around the edges, and when I watch him I can just smell the smoke on him, LOL. He and Mario were together on one of Bourdain’s shows when he was in New Jersey, I think. Funny stuff.
I saw that show! Loved it. I’m really hooked on foodie shows. They’ve kicked my own cooking up “notches unknown to mankind!” And I’m grateful for it. Haven’t been to many five-star restaurants though. A few. My God were they heavenly! Didn’t know food could taste that good. But we can’t afford to do that very often. So it’s stay at home, watch the shows, buy the books, and try to improve in the kitchen. And it’s working!
