We have it on tape and will be watching it tonight, so I can't speak from
having seen it. From what I've read, though, they had been in Beirut for two
days and were about to go into the countryside when the bombing started.
Again, from what I read, he thought it was more important to get their local
support people home to their families rather than keep the show going. What
would you have done?

BTW, it's Travel Channel that produces the show, not Bourdain.
