| Anyone see Bourdain this week?
Started in Baltimore, then headed to Detroit. I couldn't help but think of this den of iniquity and wit. Then he headed up to Buffalo to hang out with a crazed fan that may have been one of Steve Perry's numerous love children. | |

| I really enjoy Bourdain but I don't find that Zamir character interesting at all. Bourdain must like him because he gives him way too much run.
As much as I like when Bourdain goes to exotic locales I really like his take on various parts of this great country. | |

| I love No Res and Bourdain, but I thought this episode was totally lame. No one place got their props. And all three places are deserving of a full episode, certainly.
I personally think his best episodes are the ones in Asia. The Sao Paulo episode was pretty wonderful, too. |

| I'm with POW. I think some of Tony's best work is when he's in some truly rough areas and still finds the humanity through the connections he makes with food traditions. Eating out of styrofoam containers at a lake trout joint in Baltimore, or on a roof top in Columbia. He pulls it off as well, or better than the high end sushi episodes.
Although I kind of like Zamir. | |

I personally think his best episodes are the ones in Asia. The Sao Paulo episode was pretty wonderful, too. I hear you re: each of those locales being worthy of its own show but since his main shtick is international travel he tends to do the US in chunks (Pacific Northwest, Southwest, Rust Belt). His most disappointing US show to me was Hawaii. I know I'm this site's official Hawaii-phile but "scratching the surface" would be an understatement in describing the episode. On the other hand, his Vietnam stuff has been revelatory and his recent visit to Patagonia was amazing. I first started watching Bourdain for the food angle (which I still love) but it's the cultural/local color aspect of the show that really keeps me coming back. | |

I think that our Zamir would more likely be the master of the SKIN flute. | |

| I think Bourdain gave short shrift to each of the locations. Every place he goes deserves its own episode if you ask me. I also thought his DC episode was lame. I think he has some good episode producers, and some lame ones. Obviously, Shemp McStooge was running the show at this one. |

| Tonights episode features Street Food.
I was looking forward to this until I started to worry that perhaps Tony is running out of topics, and is resorting to cobbling together an out-takes show.
In any event I'll watch.
AL and I had a nice conversation about Lake Trout at the beach on Saturday over cigars, so thanks for that Mr. Bourdain. If Tony knew AL he'd kick Zamir to the curb and do all his globe trotting with our own WOT luminary. | |

I'm not sure, but I have heard him fart several of Miles Davis' lesser known works. Really brings a tear to the eye. | |

I'll bet his rendition of Miles' album "In A Silent Way" is deadly. | |
