He can make some wonderfully witty remarks but some of the things he says make me wonder what the hell is he thinking.

The other night I heard him say America turned its back on Detroit because it became too black. I don't know whether America turned its back on Detroit or not - if so, I would argue it did because the people of Detroit habitually elected leaders who horribly mismanaged the city.

America still likes New Orleans pretty well.

You sound like a massive douche.

Yea well, IDGAF.

Because I don't want to specifically do what he does makes me a douche? I mean I both eat and talk to people, but I don't want to be a writer or a chef.

This is one of my favorite Bourdain moments. Skip ahead to about 1:55 for his comments.

I don't recall what he was referring to, but he once mentioned something being "as prolific as chlamydia at Burning Man."

Why is Anthony Bourbon famous in the first place? I like him and watch his show, but no idea why he has it. He is the kardashian of the travel world.

He did a lot of cocaine and wrote a book about being a junky in the food industry.

It won a Pulitzer.
There is a statue of him in Jersey.

Read Kitchen Confidential. If you've ever worked in a restaurant, you'll appreciate it.

Interviewing for what?

He does seem like a more fun guy to be around.
