I've never watched any of his stuff until he passed
After he passed, I watched the West Virginia episode, because I saw a lot of favorable comments on social media regarding that one episode
So my question for those of you who were avid watchers of Bourdain, is...
Did he ever go anywhere and not like the food?
I think he ate the food, but he never berated the food he ate or praised it. He would eat food and talk about left and right social issues. I dont remember him bashing food he ate.
The warthog anus & the extreme overly cooked eggs from the Masai tribesman, he only complained later about the anus' "distinctive aroma" & needing shots later. The iguana taco in Mexico, the pizza in Cambodia. Some kind of fermented fish from, I think Iceland, that smelled like urine.
He was always a gracious guest & didn't complain to those feeding him.
One that he didn't complain about on air but I had a hard time watching was with the Inuit family who just put a seal on plastic sheeting on the kitchen floor & proceeded to cut it open & eat it raw by handfuls, blood all over the place including dripping from their mouths.
