Um, no.....he's more like the Hunter Thompson of food.
He'd call Rachel a few well deserved names, he doesnt suffer any kind of fool gladly.
Try reading some of his blog, or a book or two of his.

Ever read any of Bourdains writings?
He's exactly what I would term a gonzo food journalist.
Pulls no punches, even with the sacred white elephants of the food world.
I like that.

Only his blog.

I think Hunter Thompson was not as self-conscious. He didn't talk about himself so damn much.

You do understand that his writings are biographical in nature.....
3rd person doesnt really work with food, unless its fiction.

For me, this is simple. I would eat most of what Bourdain eats. I don't even want to be in the same room with what Zimmern eats.

Bravo....I cannot stand her either. I monitor both the left and right wing shows....just have to turn the channel on her.....smirking and snide b****. Bourdain comes across the same way, too upper crust for me........give me the barfbag Zimmern.

Plus he doesn't sound like a hog at the slops trough when he eats...

LOL, 'used to' do drugs!

Bourdain has better credentials and sounds like he actually knows what he's talking about. Plus, he doesn't make those grotesque lip smacking/sucking sounds and moaning while he's eating. I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't want to hear it.
