A Confidential Chef

Last weekend I finished reading Anthony Bourdain's book Kitchen Confidential and started reading Medium Raw... I have to admit that the man not pnly know about food and illuminates us about but he is a real entertainer.


In less than 2 weeks I might be able to meet him and finally get to see what many people who know him say about him: that he is a great guy with a fantastic sense of humor (a dark one just like mine!)... The Wine and Food Festival is around the corner and is keeping me up to my neck with tons of work and meting the man would be the best reward to all my work.


Wouldn't you love to travel with this man? Yes, I know sometimes he eats tsome crazy things but he does travel to great places and gets to meet people who make this place a much more interesting place to live in. The new season of No Reservations starts on February 28 (right after the festival...) so be sure to watch what he'll be up to this time.

Have a great day and think (daydream) of you next exotic location!

    No, Elie, there are no "I might get to meet him"s allowed. You WILL meet him and chat and laugh. Remember? You'll have that beer in hand, right?

    I've read Kitchen Confidential as well, and my hubby also has No Reservations and A Cooks Tour, though I haven't gotten around to reading those yet. I do love his show though! Definitely very entertaining and I completely agree with his views on eating meat (and not understanding vegetarians ;-). How exciting that you might meet him! Do report :)

    I certainly would love to travel with him! He would know exactly where all the best places to eat would be! And that is one of the most important things about traveling :)
