re: Anthony Bourdain's wild Cajun Mardi Gras episode to air Sunday

That's the third way of doing crawfish. You cook in plain, and soak in seasoning.

Used in large batch two pot boils. Better than the Texas method but not as good as creole/cajun method.

He was all-in behind his gf who had Me-Too’d Harvey Weinstein and had started going nuclear on Twitter raving against Hillary Clinton and powerful people in Hollywood and politics abusing young people sexually on twitter. His twitter feed was reading like the QThrrad on the poliboard right up until his “suicide”. He had even said his gf had recieved all kinds of threats to remain silent over the years.

His death looks like a message.

Are you fricking people serious with this?

I watched it and was underwhelmed. A bunch of drunken frat boys. Bourdain did not seem too into it either. That seems not to be his style. Too bad that the culture and history got washed away with cheap beer. Definitely eerie when he received his ashes and said he got “right with God”.

It was a major embarrassment for Louisiana. I know and people on this board know that that was not representative of the whole State, but I bet the rest of the country saw it and will assume that’s Louisiana in a nutshell.

I’m from that neck of the woods.... so I don’t see it as an “embarrassment”. I think they definitely could’ve gotten better footage.. There was way too much video of baws stand on horses with bud light yelling “eyyyy de mardi grasss”.

Just watched the episode. Observations:

1.) Bourdain, when he was not a few beers in, seemed like he was not really there. He wasn't engaged at all. It's the first time I ever saw him act like an "outsider".

2.) Between Duck Dynasty, Swamp People, and this episode, the whole country must think Louisiana is populated solely by drunken idiots (it's probably only about half). I really wonder what this board (along with OT and PT) if the "creoles" acted like the "cajuns" in this episode and vice versa.

3.) Not one of the best episodes of either Parts Unknown or No Reservations. Not really cohesive.

4.) Bourdain looked ill, tired, and thin. He did not look good at all.

5.) As previous posters have said, I've always wanted to attend a "Courir de Mardi Gras". I don't think I want to do that anymore. Guess I'm just too old, but that did NOT look like fun to me.

6.) That dude that fell off the truck near the end of the "run".
