Oh my Tony, I love everything you do, your way. No Reservation program is one of my favorite shows, Is an enlightting experience of traveling to exotics places, is a cultural tour to the taste of food from the real people, combine with your personality. Love your amaizing character. It feels I’m eating just by you. Love to see you in the down-deep country of Dominican Republic, my homeland, I’ll take you there without reservation.

Loved this particulr episode. My wife is of Lebonese decent and I am seriously thinking about a quick visit there. With respect to your New Zealand show, I made that dish you made with the wild Boar(Pinneapple, apricots, fresh sage) … minus the wild. Simple, easy and probably the most delicious meat dish that I make. You just cant get hung-up on measuring too much. I love your respect for other cultures. I lived and traveled in Europe 8 years and too often saw quite the opposite from others. If someone inspired me to cook, at least in terms of Thai/Indonesian, it was you!!
Thanks Steve

Bourdain gives me a visceral rejection. It shows how a sophisticated man but is cruel to animals. I have seen programs where an ostrich fatally shoots dead panic. Its been brave gaucho killing hares with dogs, horses, etc. A true coward with expensive clothes. Also boasts. It is pompous frivolous and insensitive. Can not stand it. Above it is believed most intelligent and special than the others. But it is more beast than people without education do not do that with animals. A snob without grace and without ethics. Is a bourgeois able to cause suffering to a living being. Believing that it is the most important thing in the world. Obvious humans eat meat. It is a reality. But there are ways. The cuisine is quite disgusting. As. Who want to show the video of Lebanon? Invaded a country in conflict and pretending to be brave friend who walks in the military that have nothing to do there. Part of the American circus comes to bring order and carries forward everything. Ridiculous. It looks like a gallant decadent soap opera. It will be the new icon we needed? With the suffering of these people, please! Intolerable.

I do not like Antony Bourdain, I think his face, expression and his shows are so uninteresting, looks so proud of himself for no reason all the time (just hogs what others have to offer and makes a big deal out of it), huge irritating attitude he carries. Compare this guy with the down to earth Andrew Zimmern.

Hi Tony, I just wanted to let you know that I respect you highly, and as a young lebanese american woman who tries to spend as many summers in lebanon as possible, i would be happy to show you around sometime. Considering the amount of family I have there, you would be well taken care of. As you know, Lebanese hospitality is warm and always delicious. If you need a sample of some of the foods, I’m in San Francisco and ready to cook.

Regardless, you must go back. And make sure you hit up Jabbour for your late night Shawarma after partying. It’s the BEST!

Mr Bourdain,
Yours is one show I will not miss. The best food in South East Asia has to be in Malaysia- a wondrous culinary marriage of Indian Malay and chinese cuisine- the chinese and Indian cuisine thats featured in canada and US cannot compare to the authenticity of the real honest-to-goodness great food in my country.I will be more than happy to take you on an exciting food rendezvous
cheers !
