The Wire

[rjs246]

He is 100000 times more tolerable than every other food personality in the world. Any food/travel snobishness is instantly forgiven when he makes fun of himself for being a smoking, drinking, former crackhead who happens to be the luckiest SOB on Earth. He knows what he is and he's fine with it. Don't see much of that in the spotlight.

To be honest I hated him at first too. Probably for the reasons Dio dislikes him still. But now he's the only food show host that I'll watch.

And Bourdain is both.

vigy is only the latter.

I call this damnation by faint praise.

[rjs246]

Perhaps. I certainly wouldn't argue.

hes cultured...intelligent...as liberal as one can get...loves good food and drinks like a fish....what more could you want

so hes a little abrasive and not always the nicest person in the world...welcome to the northeast...if you dont like it i suggest moving to utah or pleasantville


and when did crack and heroin become recreational drugs...i want in on what ff is doing

Every once in a while, my dog drops a turd that isn't nearly as zesty as the usual turds.  Easy to see, deposited in one place, easy to scoop up, doesn't smell too bad, etc. 

Bourdain is a good shtein.



p.s.
Sassy meant deprecating.  Not depreciating.  There is a difference.  Thanks.

I know a hundred of those.  Only difference this guy has is he's on teevee.

[Diomedes]

I care.

I love No Reservations, I have nothing to contribute.

I'm almost finished Season One again. I banged out three episodes tonight and them knocking Wallace off was cold shtein. It seemed worse the second time around.

But I have picked up a lot that I missed the first time.

Isn't it better watching shows on DVD? I have no problem watching three, four in a row of a great show like The Wire.
