After reading Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential, I got inspired to watch his tv show again.
I've always liked the show but kind of forgot about it after all the other tv shows and I don't know.. I just forgot.
The thing about Bourdain, to me, is that I really do like him and his blunt opinions and what not; but, for some reason, I get bored of him?
I really thought his book was informational and offered such a shocking and different view of the whole restaurant business and chef-dom. However, I just had the hardest time getting through the book.
Same with his show.. I can watch 1 or 2 episodes at once, but I don't crave for more.
I actually chose to SLEEP instead of watching the show. This is unusual for me since I slep at like 4 AM.
Anyways, with all that said, I DO LIKE HIM!
I don't know what it is though.
Since I couldn't really settle on a movie, I just watched No Reservation. Paris and Iceland.
two countries I want to go SOOOO BADLY.
Except Anthony Bourdain went to Iceland in January and suffered from a blizzard lol.
But, from his book and the show, he makes being a chef sound so difficult, yet glamorous.
I could never become one because of so many reasons, despite my love for cooking and food.
But, he makes me fantasize about being one.
He lived and is living a crazy life!
But, yea.. that's all.
Wishing to be more worldly, outside the books,

omg! just started reading kitchen confidential. he is CRAZY. and I watched all the episodes of no reservations during finals...I LOVE HIM!!!
ReplyDeletewhen I was reading the book and saw that he was married, I was like.. damn this lady must have the patience and understanding level of Buddha. Then, I watched one of the more recent episodes and saw a young woman as his wife, I was like hmm... that doesn't seem right, and realized that he got divorced and married a new girl. I just thought that was interesting HAHA. and sunny said that the new wife does MMA and trains with guys because she's too good for other women. How fitting because I think you need to have a certain personality and strength to deal with him lol
