re: Why does Anthony Bourdain act like his **** doesn't stink??

Joe is a toolbag extraordinaire. I have met his mother Lydia on a few occasions at her restaurant in Pittsburgh. Very friendly and hospitable -- Joe is the exact opposite.

Another thing I like about Bourdain is that he goes to spots where no one else goes, not just the touristy spots that everyone else hits up. I liked when he traveled to Eunice for the boucherie, and when he hooked up with Miss Linda in New Orleans for some yaka mein. In the Delta episode he went to Po' Monkeys and Big Apple. That's seriously legit in my eyes. Even in Vegas and Miami he searched the nooks and crannies for places that not many people know about.
