"Parts Unknown" is a little less food and a little more ... sociopolitical, whereas No Reservations was more food and a side of philosophy on the side (although it did get ... slightly preachy in its waning years). I dug the fuck out of the recent episode in Tangier, though.

I think it's more or less he could go (and be sent) more places under CNN's banner than he could Travel Channel. ...and Travel Channel's hitting about the same quality as Food Network did when he bailed out of A Cook's Tour.

>> No.4494537

I agree, Tangier was a great episode.

I guess you could say the one in Libya isn't based on food as much, but it highlights the struggles the Libyan people faced

I would not say that Tony is a chef anymore. He is a food talking head with a New York personality. He is entertaining and a hot head but he is wrong about the Ramones being better than the Grateful Dead.

Just an ex Junkie who pulled his life together and is doing what alot of people on /ck/ would love to do.

You do realize that the other tv personalities are far from being chefs these days as well. The up and comers are still working in a restaurant but I bet a guy like Bobby Flay has way too much other shit on his plate to actually step into the kitchen of his restaurants and actually start cooking with his crew.

>> No.4495321

>>4495314
I agree. I don't think that Flay or most others are cooking on the line at any given night, I don't think Tony plays himself up as a good chef, but he is a good eater.

>> No.4495334

>>4495321
I think the episode of no reservations where he goes back to his old restaurant to cook pretty much say that he's a shit cook these days. He said many times that what he really wanted to be was a writer. He gave up his cooking gig to travel around the world and film shit for his first show(which btw I think was the best one he made). Apparently he still writes for his current shows even though they're much bigger productions and have a bunch of researchers and writers employed.

He even released a couple fiction novels.

But the ramones were better than the grateful dead. Whoo, a bunch of useless hippies masturbating with their instruments. Sweet bro, let's follow these assholes for decades. No thanks, I'll take leather, bad attitudes and actual fun any day of the weak. Yes, the ramones were shitty musicians. Yes, they wrote terrible songs. And it doesn't fucking matter. They and their contemporaries saved music from the masturbatory prog horseshit that made the late 70's such a dark time for music (don't even get me started on disco) by making music FUN again.

>I don't think Tony plays himself up as a good chef

Quite the opposite in fact. He frequently calls himself a cook rather than a chef. He also points out that when he was working as a chef he was NOT avant-garde or anywhere near the same level as many of the people he meets on his programs. I've never seen him claim to be an elite chef; he seems quite humble about it.

>> No.4496172

Not that guy, but it all depends on tastes. Objectively, the Grateful Dead were much better musicians and incredibly talented technically.

Why? Not because they were bad musicians, (because I do like some of their music), but because they spawned the worst, most useless fan base of idiots and drug addicts I've ever known.
Also, if you can't into punk, I have no use for you.

Right on topic

I'll just add that the cinematography in his new show is breathtaking, especially the Columbia episode. He and his crew know how to make good television, even if his writing and narration sometimes seems redundant and unimaginative.

I've only seen his show a few times on the airplane, but this was my impression too. I felt his writing was contrived and he was taking himself too seriously.

>talks shit about America all the time when he is abroad
>can't stop saying how much he loves NY when he is back home

I used to enjoy his show(s), but his shtick just got to be too much. He tries to be this intellect that makes his opinion known throughout the episode multiple times. He loves being the old dude that's still hip, but it comes off as kind of sad. I wish he would just stick to traveling and keep his opinions/shitty comments to himself.

>> No.4496311

>>4496295
Agreed. I find him to be a bit of a faux-intellect that thinks writing with a more cynical Kerouac tone equates to depth and creativity.

The whole, "I'm still hip guys" thing is just sad. If you are cool, be cool. Don't consciously try to put on an act of being too cool for mainstream. That shit is alright when you are 16.

I like Bourdain, a lot. but some of his old hipster punk opinions don't hold true for me.

>but he is wrong about the Ramones being better than the Grateful Dead.

OH GOD EW

the Ramones sucked ass, I don't care what "tru punx" think, they sucked. I don't care if you're anti-hippy or whatever either, the Dead were a good band albeit masturbatory sometimes. but thats like hating on someone like Miles Davis for the same thing.
