What the fuck is his problem?
>>69661121
Foodkino.
>>69661121
>What the fuck is his problem?
The problem is with everyone else, he's based as fuck.
No reservations or parts unknown?
>>69661121
His health is fucked up from all the eating, drinking, smoking and god knows what else. He complains about it constantly these days
>>69661328
Both. Later seasons of No Reservations and Parts Unknown are shot beautifully. They're the best travel shows on tv.
Part of me thinks Bourdain would have been happier with the actual life of a chef instead of his half assed one where he tangented out of the kitchen
>>69661535
Fav episode of parts unknown?
Iran for me
>>69661579
he was a mediocre chef. nothing stood out about him
just another line chef
>>69661579
He self admittedly was a mediocre chef.
>>69661121
He was raised partly in FRANCE
I like his shows quite a bi but his whole "I'm a punk" attitude is cringey. Its like he took LSD once and did a little coke and then bragged about it for the rest of his life. His favorite movie is Apocalypse Now and thinks The Ramones are the shit. Kind of a poser to be quite honest.
>>69661887
>Kind of a poser
and then there's this real nigga. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol, stealing money from people and homeless, squatting in rat infested abandoned buildings and he doesn't talk about it at all or act like a badass unless someone asks him about it specifically
>>69661887
nah, he's not a poseur. he lived the drug/punk life, reformed, wrote one hell of a book - Kitchen Confidential - after his novels didn't sell for shit, shot a really shitty show - A Cook's Tour - then was scooped up by the Travel Channel and made a bomb ass show - No Reservations. so how exactly is he a poseur again?
full disclosure:i am in the Miami episode of Parts Unknown for two seconds flat. my claim to fame.
he's some silver spoon raised guy that tries to identify with the little people through food, often poorly
ain't makin that ramsay money
>>69662168
real nigga lol he stole everything from bourdain. thats why bourdain left cause he couldnt stand this copycat fat ass faggot
/ck/ here.
We talk shit about him pretty often but we admit it's mostly because we envy what he's doing past mid-life. Travelling the world, trying good food and practicing jui-jitsu.
He's bitter about not taking care of himself when he was younger but anyone would be in his place.
>>69661612
Nobody knows what happened to that Iranian couple he was talking to in the latter half and I can't watch it anymore because of that.
My favorite episode of parts unknown is probably Okinawa or maybe Jerusalem.
With No reservations it's probably Hokkaido or Livingston, Montana.
>>69661121
It's just how New Yorkers are, man.
>>69662683
>Bourdain couldn't handle someone copying his steeze so he gave up on his miserable poser life and cried
>>69662683
That's slanderous, etc.
>This is coming from a Bourdain fan.
>>69662683
There shows are nothing alike and Bourdain is still making TV. Also completely besides the point I was making. You contrarians making strawman arguments out of literally nothing are beyond retarded.
>>69662940
do you mean the journalist guy? wasnt he released
>>69663516
He's an uneducated hack, let him be.
>>69662508
I've actually read Kitchen Confidential. I still got the impression from that book that he hung out with a lot of people that did drugs and stuff and he barely dabbled in it while acting like he was hardcore
>Anthony Bourdain was born inNew York City, and grew up inLeonia, New Jersey.[1][2]His parents were Pierre Bourdain (d. 1987), a classical music industry executive forColumbia Records,[3][4]and Gladys Bourdain (née Sacksman),[5][6][7][8]a staff editor forThe New York Times.[9]
>Bourdain has said he was raised without religion, and that his ancestors were Catholic on his father's side and Jewish on his mother's side.[10]
Just another nepotist Jew
>>69663528
Not that I know of. It really bugged me that they might have interned them just because they weren't totally beholden to the imam or what the fuck ever. That nation can go fuck itself.
>>69663483
fuck you
>>69663484
fuck you
>>69663516
have you even see his new stuff? its shit tier bourdain. most of the time its just his voice over
>>69661121
filipinos keep demanding that he comes back to the philipines so he can eat balut
>>69663607
And another tripfag to the filter
>>69663635
Balut is really the most garbage food there is. I wouldn't want to eat it either. It was a necessity for the natives because otherwise you were going to starve.
It's why Koreans eat dogs and cats, not even kidding.
>>69663551
fuck you faggot ive been watching bourdain since a cooks tour and>>69663516 i know hes still on tv(CNN) what i meant is he couldnt stand fat copycat zimmerin with his stupid "oh look at me i eat bugs n shit but i know food too"
>>69661535
Parts Unknown is boring as fuck and I have no idea why since it's the same show as No Reservations. It just feels way too serious and Tony comes across like he's bored with traveling now. His liberal douchebag leanings also seem to have increased with his move to JewNN.
>>69663623
I didn't even insult you, you cantankerous faggot.
>>69663747
Just because you've watched television, doesn't mean you're a credible source.
You don't know shit.
>>69663807
i know your moms a whore
>>69661121
this guy is too pretentious for me to watch
>dude alcohol lmao
the whole show is about trying to make you feel cool. You can't actually taste anything. What's the point.
Then the CNN version includes his shitty political thoughts which is even worse
>>69663635
>>69663716
i'm a flip and even I don't eat that shit. its disgusting
>>69663873
Why do flip bitches go ching-a-chong all over white ding dongs?
>>69663594
He intentionally glossed over it because the book wasn't supposed to really be about him as a person, just his journey through kitchens. He mentions drugs and rehab casually and that's it.
>>69663759
Maybe because he switched from the Travel Channel to CNN?
>Boring
The Glasgow one was quite entertaining. And the Korea one where it was presented a 's a frame narrative /backwards time episode. Never seen a documentary/journalism piece do something like that.
>>69663594
i hear you. i read it, too, and did not get that impression. he had his issues, did drugs, hung out with more hardcore people, and then wrote briefly about it - the doing H and taking the subway to the beach part comes to mind. i don't think he comes across as a poseur, though. he's actually a pretty chill guy, or so that's the impression i got during the shoot. anyways, if that's the way you feel about him, i won't argue that. i simply disagree.
>>69663594
You can't be a good head chef and inject heroin like a dish washer. It doesn't mean he didn't partake and doing it even occasionally fucks your body badly.
>>69661121
He's totally into bananas.
>>69663847
You wish you got laid.
>>69663897
that's the maid tier bitches, answer is $$$
>>69663920
He went to rehab for cocaine, not heroin. He did heroin, but coke was his drug of choice. You can't be a good head chef and not snort coke like a grizzly bear in a snow drift.
>>69663897
>why do immigrants go after natural born citizens
Other than that we help them assimilate and we introduce them to a culture and luxury they've never known?
Oh, no fucking idea right?
>>69661121
I don't like him just because he looks/sounds pretentious as fuck. Then I watch Parts Unknown and am angry because he actually sounds humble, the show is shot well and has good subject matter.
IDK what else to say, the man is a walking paradox.
>drugs
>hardcore
>>69663929
every applebees and chilis chef ive met are pill popping drunks and the dishwashers are beaners. you dont know shit assclown
>>69661121
He's constantly trying to validate his lack of culinary success by writing the most pompous prose on tv. Andrew Zimmern is the superior traveling food television host.
>>69661121
I spit in his food when I worked in a Canadian kitchen. It was the No Reservations show and he literally ordered everything on the menu. All he did was drink and make my job a living hell. I didn't own the restaurant, I just cooked a very fine duck.
Foodies just made it ok to be fat in public again.
>>69663983
Yeah he's really hateable in concept and really likable if you spend any real time at all watching his shows. Which also have amazing crews behind them.
>>69661535
Really? I just watched the Parts Unknown Chicago episode and who ever did the editing must've been having what Bourdain was because it was awful, guy had've been drunk to edit that shit together.
>>69663918
Whereas the South Africa episode made me wish he had caught malaria or something. So fucking awful. There was also the episode set in the South where he just blatantly asks a black guest about racism and the poor guy very obviously wanted to tell him it's no where near the levels it used to be, but couldn't because he's black and he'd be labeled an Uncle Tom. So he just went all, "Ehhhhhhh it's still there, but ehhhhh you know...".
That really triggered the fuck out of me because he didn't just blatantly ask those blacks in South Africa why their country is such a horrific shithole since Apartheid ended.

>>69662168
Andrew is based as fuck. Dude lived through some crazy shit only to come out as a tv presenter for a travel show and lives with his family in Minnesota.
>>69664039
i find Zimmern's personality grating and obnoxious, the same way some people find Bourdain annoying. i don't get where people calling him, Bourdain, pretentious comes from, though. i mean, really? maybe these people just don't know the meaning of the word? anyways, in what ways do you think Zimmern is the better host?
>>69664227
What does Minnesota have to do with being "based as fuck"?
>>69664071
that's fucking awful. why would he bring up racism in his show? fuck that
>>69664168
>not knowing what a huge scam michelin stars are
Nobody knows the criteria, who decides who they go to, how many reviewers there are (extremely few), or how they prevent corruption. It's the most shady bullshit in the fucking world. Having or not having one means absolutely fucking nothing.
>>69664180
Talking about Zimmern.
>college kids affording fine dining
Just saying random bullshit at this point.
>>69663971
Yes you can. I've seen it personally happen. Most substitute energy drinks or copious amounts of coffee...or it's just a person that has a huge, but strange, energy level.
>>69664264

He was homeless for a year on the streets of San Francisco and was a drug addict, who turned his life around.
I still think his show is inferior to Bourdain's, but I admire Zimmern. He's really passionate about those who go without food due to personal experience.
>>69664536
But what does Minnesota have do with anything?
>>69664536

>>69664536
how the fuck do you go without food in america? Ramen is like 50 cents a container, you can get mcdonalds for 1.50, I'm sure someone would buy you a mcchicken if you asked nicely.
Or wait.......you COULD WORK in a place that serves food, and just eat shit for free like everyone who works in the food industry.
>>69664581
He was more moderate before he got on CNN. You should realize that they're basically the New York Post of cable news agencies. They're going to edit their message into everything you do.
I don't think Bordain would have left Jerusalem if he had his way in that episode. Having to eat couscous with his fucking hand next to a bunch of severely misogynistic assholes and the women trying to pretend that they didn't want to halfway beat them for letting an American dine with them.

Not really thread related but your post triggered a line of thought in me.
Punk Rockers are almost all Anarchists (at least that's how it used to be). And the definition of anarchy is as follows:
an·ar·chy
ˈanərkē/
noun
noun: anarchy
a state of disorder due to absence or nonrecognition of authority.
absence of government and absolute freedom of the individual, regarded as a political ideal.
So why the hell do all these "punks" support big government candidates? Is it just cognitive dissonance? Or are they just hypocrites?

just joking. i admire the dude, i just don't dig his personality and his happy-go-lucky commentary. if he had half the personality Bourdain has, or even insight, he would be amazing. good for him he turned his life around, though.

An outdated culture that should have died two-hundred years ago. We didn't develop for so long to slide back into the middle-ages.
I'm done with the "argument" we're having. Being reasonable and forward-thinking is not the same as being a progressive.
>>69665174
to the majority of people, yeah,probably. but some of those hardcore NY punks took that anarchism, jean and leather jackets only, clothespin shit seriously. kinda juvenile, to be honest. most grew out of it, like Bourdain and, ahem, McNulty.

The moscow and tokyo episodes are good too.
>>69662168
Never trust a food critic who is afraid of booze.
>>69666459
i find his fear of walnuts more frightening than his lack of alcohol consumption. i get the latter, he was a junkie and alcohol might lead him back to making bad decisions. but fucking walnuts???
Regardless how "badass" his past was or not, he still knows how to carry on an intellectual convo with a strong sense of rawness and vulgarity which very few people know how to do. With that said that will keep him in the "unique and influencial" catagory for all time.
>>69666751
Bourdain does appear to be well read, which is a plus. i also like how he invites writers on his show and has frank discussions with them about their work or the local economy, state of affairs, etc. Zimmern is good but a bit singular when it comes to his insights.
>>69661612
My favorites were The Congo and Sierra Leon. Made me thankful of the fact that I live in the U.S.
Other favorite episodes would be Mississippi, cos that showed not everybody who lives in that state is an inbred racist red neck, and that there ARE good people, and good food there. I also liked the New England episode, as it shed a light on the heroin epidemic in that part of the country, and the Florida one, because he gets to hang out with Iggy Pop.
>>69663850
this 100 percent
It's decent stuff but at times his jokes are just too shitty. His acquaintances are boring and bland (e.g. the woman from Rome). I cringed at his constant 'muh Guiness' in Dublin while ignoring the local brewing scene completely. I get it's super iconic but his schtick is being slightly off-road.
Otherwise though I like it, mostly for the travel.
>>69663850

>>69664052
>I spit in his food when I worked in a Canadian kitchen.
Spitting in his food and boasting about it anonymously on the internet, that'll teach him.
If you had any integrity you would have told him he could go fuck himself. You don't deserve one percent of the respect you think you should get.
