I was watching this evening's Travel Channel repeat of Anthony
Bourdain's No Reservations in China when there was an ad for next
weeks show: Beirut. Pretty damn fast turn around, just about a
month(?). Should be interesting, though I suspect the food content may
be minimal.

Paraphrased tag line from memory, No Reservations: Beirut -- the show
they never intended to make.

His China show was so interesting. He's about as adventurous food-wise
as one can get. Plus, and I can't put my finger on it why, he's so
cute. He's the Rachel Ray male counterpart celebrity chef.

Really funny, too, considering all the snarky comments he makes about
her. For instance, on his show in Puerto Rico, he walks by a tourist
trap restaurant and says (close enough), if I was doing a Rachel Ray
show, I'd go in here!

At any rate, he's not my type at all, but there's just something about
him.

Oh, and someone made me spell Rachael wrong.

I think it was Burger King.

He just seems dirty to me. And not dirty in a naughty way...

Yeah, he's always remarking about RR. I think he likes her.

Yeah.

I liked the China episode of "No Reservations" a lot too. Did you
notice that, when he was getting his ear canal "cleaned," by that guy
with the long, sharp metal implement, he said, "Watch - a Rachel Ray
fan is gonna walk by and jab that thing into my head!"

I think Bourdain is the anti-Rachel Ray in that he's genuinely
opinionated; lets the viewer know if he really likes or dislikes
something he eats -- although he seemed to like pretty much everything
he ate in the China episode. His reaction to the Chinese liquor was
pretty funny; "That's pretty much paint thinner," etc.

Not that he doesn't mind a wee dram of a little paint thinner now and
then, either....

If Bourdain has trouble putting the stuff away, it's gotta tell you
something...

I'd be willing to bet that you'd get spanked if you told Bourdain he
was in any way similar to RR.
