His wife is hot.... Mixed martial arts master or something..I would not want to piss her off, she is like half his age.

Yeah big fan of it.

Well in one of his shows, he said he never drinks at home, or anywhere else, except when he's doing shows. I wouldn't call that drunk, because if someone was drunk, they'd be slurring their speech. But he seems sober to me.

He was a HUGE party animal like any other in the Rest. Biz was in that time period.

He's kicked Heroin and Cigs two of the hardest thing to quit.

Just about anyone could do what he does, he has a huge support infrastructure to make those shows.

Anyone with that kind of drug history is probably also a complete loser.

Yeah what a Loser.

Fresh multimillion dollar contract with CNN, young hot wife along with a beautiful young child.

Yep he's pathetic!

Yea...How can I be rich with a hot young wife Pathetic also?

Damn,
I am the other kind of pathetic.

I think he is a bit of a jerk but I admit I do like his shows. He also seems to have matured with age. The programs are well made and veer off to some pretty exotic and unique locations other travel/cooking shows avoid.

His CNN series is OK, I don't think it is as good as his other series, but I think it is getting better. Seems like he tried to roll too much news into it because it was CNN, but it looks like he is going back to the old formula that made him popular, food with a little bit of news.

Though, the CNN series has more risque subjects than the Travle Channel series. Japan and the counter culture there and saw he and a friend get all hammered and end up in a ladyboy caberet somewhere in Thailand.

bourdain actually has style, gives an honest review, and can artfully speak his mind. i understand why he has a successful career.

what i dont understand is how this fucking fat piece of shit is even in existence. i still to this day would love to punch him in the face, no questions asked.




"the nutty-ness of this cashew really brings out the nut flavor, mmmm amazing, wow."

pretty self explanatory. closed fist, swift acceleration, making contact with a doughy cheekbone. in case you couldnt see the photos, i was talking about punching zimmern in the face, not bourdain.

The Colombia, Myanmar (Burma) piece were amazing. Very well done and shot.

I watched the Shanghai episode, and wasn't even that impressed with it.

But overall a very good show.

Sorry, I don't pay attention to the rules, but maybe, just maybe, I should, on occasion, read the entire post... maybe.

At first I found him pompous and overbearing...a little too cocky to watch. Over time I've found he's mellowed and I really enjoy how he takes you to places most tourists would never venture. Just watched "Sao Paulo" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I now see past Anthony's persona to the richness of the places and people he meets in parts of the world I'll never get to visit in person. Good stuff.

When I was eating at Mcdonald's tonight eating my 20 piece Mcnuggets, I was watching Bourdain do a piece on China and their red wine consumption. Interesting, but I don't think a news channel should waste time on interest stories like this.

Blessed are the murderous.

I've never found him pompous... I just don't want to eat crazy shit in dark sketchy places.

Of course pieces of God forsaken Henrico ignorant neanderthal shit don't appreciate being exposed to the fact that other people actually exist outside their narrow illusion of supreme American existence. Its usually the poorest and shittiest Americans that can't afford to travel that feel this way though. You know the ones that buy guns, watch porn, troll forums and listen to talk radio and parrot it.

Lock up probably suits you better anyway.

he looks like the kind of person who thinks it's ok to be dependent on government.

yes. he travels all over world like a billion-heir eating free food with his "crew" / entourage. taking other peoples vacations for them. lives better than tom seleck.

TV is mostly funded by political money (obama gov, bitch). and how did antony get this money frmo their cold DC hands? for his talent of eating the finest food? couldn't a DC worker do that? yes.

he's likely a major criminal, very hooked up. that is how the world works.

IS THIS EESH TALKING TO HIMSELF?

Fairfax Underground, a strange, oftentimes dark place on the
underbelly of the Internet, a site with a reputation for seedy,
and downright nasty social commentary.

Life here is a montage of complaints about local politicians,
the downfall of middle-class suburbia at the hands of invaders
such as assorted mud people and northern Yankee transplant douchebags,
and the eternally annoying niggers from nearby Washington D.C. and Maryland.

If you've lost a friend to the tragedy of suicide, or even just
misplaced your kitten, you might be well advised to steer clear
of FFXU. Helpful commenters will explain how that loser deserved it,
or how tasty kittens can be!

Speaking of tasy pets, be sure to read all about Annandale,
a once lower-middle-class suburban enclave of federal bureaucrats,
location of the historic Little River -- and yes there was really a wooden pike,
somewhere near the drugstore and chain steak buffet place, before it
naturally turned into a Korean restaurant. Yes, today, Annandale is known
worldwide as Little Korea, and driving down the main streets with its
exclusively Hangul cacaphony of cheap neon, reminds me of my travels
and episodes in Asia. We won't talk about the missing dogs, although
posters on FFXU assure me they're quite tasty! Take a drive past the
abandoned Safeway and the Civil War Church, the last vestige of
classic Annandale, down the streets looking at the deteriorating
mid-century ramblers, either crammed illegal boarding houses for
illegal aliens from Central America with eight vehicles,
or fully denuded Korean lawns. Emerge back into the world of
all-night karaoke and bulgokki, and let your mind take you
back a couple decades. On FFXU you can hear old tales and even see
pictures about the favorite former dive bars where grillbilles, bikers,
and young people watered themselves. Don't forget about that central landmark,
Three Chefs restaurant, surviving for many decades, eventually a Fuddruckers,
and now, perhaps most befittingly with the decay of all American suburbia into
convenience strips, a Wallgreens pharmacy. It's directly across the street
from another historical property, long ago turned CVS.

When you're on Fairfax Underground, don't forget to do a little urban
- or rather - suburban, exploration. One favorite place to check out
is The Crypts. Located in the woods by the grounds of historical
Pohick Church, this partially bulldozed-over grave and monument
has been the hangout of amateur spelunkers, Pagan motorcyle gang members,
college studends, high school drinkers, and general trespassers since the
late 60s and 1970s. Come to FFXU to learn the strange, weird tale of one
Charles Remy, who by the way isn't actually buried there.

FFXU will teach you all about burying things, especially illegal immigrant
workers who came, toiled, mowed, dug, and landscaped, and were finally
murdered and hidden under the literal ground by a local contractor who
just figured - Eh, brown people -- don't bother paying, they're disposable.

My local guide assures me that nobody has ever really vanished from FFXU.

And, oh, look - a sockpuppet!
These puppets are more insidious, more tenacious,
and frankly less delicious than most of the puppets I've tried!
They come back month after month, and year after year,
cycling through new names and aliases, arguing with each other,
and sometimes even arguing with themselves. Locals know all
about them and try not to engage. We saw one on a streetcorner,
but decided to dive into one of the porno pic threads instead.
Good decision!

You forgot about the Mt. Vernon Monster.

Looks like someone will be staying in Annandale for a week!

Well I liked it.


Oh, sorry. Sockpuppetting...

I left out lots of things, but I do have a life which I have to get back to.... :)
