Iguana from a nearby jungle? Awful. $300 can of pure jelled fat? Amazing.

I thought the reason for his show was that there was "no reservations", as in he just went around and ate street food and off-the-beaten path stuff. The food he eats is usually what keeps the local working class full through the day and is pretty cheap if you don't count the plane ticket.

Yeah his favorite food ever is like raw oyster from the ocean and cheap street pho, I don't think he's that type of snob. He definitely is a snob of some kind but I'm not sure exactly what

Able to write some elegant prose about a $300 tasting menu, greasy Chinese takeout, and everything in between, but God help you if you take him to anything remotely kitschy or touristy.

There were a few times in the later seasons where he'd make a joke about Zimmern eating everything and he can't let himself get shown up so Bourdain eats the odder foods.

The Steak au Poivre at Bourdain's restaurant was pretty good, and moderately priced at $40. On the other hand, I watched one of those two eat the still beating heart of a snake in a shot of liquor, which seems unnecessarily cruel.

I would like him to be force-fed Chicken McNuggets, since he apparently enjoys even hakarl more than those. It just seems like a dumb thing to pick on. Yeah, they're not good, but I really doubt they are the worst things he's ever eaten. EDIT: Human Tornada posted:Bourdain is snobby about how above it all and non-snobby he is.

On his No Reservations show, he eats and enjoys everything from the simplest local foods to crazy high class cuisine. I don't get where he's ever snobby, is there another show where he turns his nose up at cheap food?

I think the only thing he ever had a problem eating was some 3rd world country offal where they had to squeeze a turd out of the intestine right before they started cooking it.

That was the Kenya episode. It was a wild warthog and they cut out the last foot of intestine from the butthole back, squeezed the poop out, and tossed it into a fire. Bourdain ate it too to be polite and got extremely sick afterwards.

This has popped up on my Facebook a couple times recently: It's a "peanut butter cookie lasagna", and apparently I have acquaintances who think it looks delicious. I think I have diabetes just from the picture. Recipe here if you hate yourself.

Terrible cookies, terrible chocolate, cool whip, pudding, and peanut butter? Good lord. If I'm eating that many calories I'd be drat sure to have some quality sugars and fats, not that garbage.

For some reason it's the stuff running down the outside that gets me most. It's like the final confirmation that the creator had no sense of restraint whatsoever.

The best example I can think of is the Egypt episode of No Reservations where he just rants about how loving touristy the Pyramids and Sphinx are and grumps that he'll never go to them.

I used to like Cool-Whip when I was younger, but have mostly phased it out of my diet. The one thing that needs Cool-Whip though is Jello, there's just something about the combination that works for me, and Whipped Cream just isn't the same.
