Fortune Wheel - BJ's built their entrance and exit around it due to public outcry when leaked FW would lose their lease/ location.

Bravo! Nader in Huntington Village

If truffles are in season - Piccolo in Huntington Village

Have you seem most of his shows. He does not always. I went to this little town in Mass once. Nothing fancy there, no cultural diversity there, and nothing adventurous. The town did apparently have a heroin problem.

If Bourdain can do an entire show dedicated to Jersey, I don't see why he can't come to LI (although I doubt he ever will). Bourdain likes dives and shacks more then fine dining, I'm sure LI must have some hidden gems.

The LIE during rush hour.

I've been a fan long before he was on TV. I was a working chef when Kitchen Confidential came out. I'm talking about cultural diversity of FOOD, not the long island buzzword for ethnicity. Much more "diversity" of food choices in Massachusetts than Long Island, small town or big. He just sat down to eat pork heads with his hands in Madagascar. Slightly more "adventurous" than All American Burger.

Again, I think he's being mistaken for Guy Fieri. Bourdain likes bone marrow in Singapore and international street foods. Not dives and shacks. I'm sure he likes a dirty water dog, but why come to LI for it? What on LI is unique or interesting in food circles? I'd love to know. I would be thrilled to know. We just got our first Vietnamese joint and the battle rages over Sonic and Chic-Fil-A. What am I missing? I mean it positively. It's not just low taxes and cost of living that attract people and businesses. It's vibrant restaurants and entertainment too. Bourdain finds food with compelling stories behind it and not a lot of that here, sadly.

What do you consider as diverse in Mass, that LI lacks?

How about B&B Fish and clams in Bayview on Merrick and Dowsing Pl?
