It's Over!

My withdrawal symptoms from lack of chef Anthony Bourdain on TV are over!

OVER, I SAY!

The Thin White Cook (apologies to Mr. Bowie for the bad pun) has a new show on the Travel Channel called No Reservations and it starts a week from Monday at 10:00!

More dry wit, exotic locales, amazing, wonderful and creepy foods!

HUZZAH, I SAY!

You have a little over a week, folks. More than enough time to go out and get Kitchen Confidential and read it, cover to cover, leaving no lurid detail undigested (yes, "undigested" - a cheap-shot food referential, so sue me). Or, if you'd rather, the book A Cook's Tour about Mr. Bourdain's Food Network-documented trips around the world, in search of the perfect meal.

I'm giddy with excitement. I love this guy. So does Mr. ZigKvetch. We even went to Les Halles when we visited NYC once, our obsession with the man (who has eaten everything from a still beating cobra's heart to a deep-fried Mars bar) is so great.

So, take it from Tony (Yeah, we're pretty much on a first name/nickname basis. We're likethis, doncha know...) and:

  • Don't eat fish on Sundays or Mondays.
  • Don't eat seafood at Sunday brunches.
  • Do order the "special" the next time you go out to eat (unless it's a Sunday or Monday).
  • Eat without fear, close to the ground. Food should be an adventure.
  • And watch the new show so we can discuss.

WHEE, I SAY! (Was that too much? I think it was too much. Um, sorry. Heh.)

I wish foodtv would replace that terrible Sandra Lee with his show. Stupid assholes don't know what they let go.

He was in town, so I went to see him speak. I set up a book signing at our store. He didn't show. I called his publicist and ripped her a new one on her voicemail. His escort called me 5 minutes later and said they were on the way...hee. He showed up at the store and said, "Megan? I AM SO SORRY." He signed all our books, and mine.

Authors answer to ME.

Anyhoo, I have pictures someplace. I'll email them to you.
