Travel channel Genii

Current mood: cultured
Category: Food and Restaurants

The food network is superd. They have a knack of finding someone who loves food and other cultures and communicates really well. Can be a bit worrying, see the Pie doon blog about Adam on Man vs Food.
Today is Anthony Bourdain day. e travels the world immersing himself in the local culture, trying fascinating foods (sharks head soup? Weirdly I fancy trying it), half the time apologising for the problems that American military incursions have caused back in the day. There must be an episode in Iraq coming.
Every stop he has two good 'friends' who show him around. It is always two gorgeous women. Never said, but the subtext is always that he's knocking them both off, probably at the same time. Unlike Adam who is going to eat himself to death, Anthony, by his own admission is going out because he smokes, drinks and enjoys his food too much. Sounds familiar, though I don't have two birds in every port. We all have to go, may as well be a food munching, hard drinking, smoker, with a two's up in every port......
