re: Bourdain comments on the douche economy.

Instead of enjoying a good meal with family and friends, people gather to gossip over poached eggs, French toast, or a strawberry salad. It has become the epitome of America's vain and narcissistic culture.

I think you might be stereotyping a little too much here. My wife and I go out for brunch nearly every Sunday. Of all the places around Bham we have tried, we like Waffle House the best. Trust me when I say this, but there's NO ONE there that meets the description you described. Just a bunch of moderately hungover adults like myself enjoying some greasy comfort food to set us straight.
