   Is there any way to send a note to Tony that he’ll acutally get or read?

   I love all Anthony Bourdain’s show’s, please keep him on forever. I encourage everyone I know to watch him. He just seems so original,plus he is a man not a sissy. I’ll stop there!

   I know he has had “things” to say about Emeril(ya he looks like an ewok)But food net cancelling him and leaving a bunch of bimbos doesn’t seem right

   I cannot comment on Mr. Bourdain as regards being a sell-out or much of anything else. I have noted he can be a bit of a curmudgeon and a strong cynical streak. So I was very surprised by the piece I just watched on New Orleans.

   I am a native of New Orleans. I found his telecast on our city to be very sensitive and touching. It brought my emotions to the surface and I found myself crying in response to the presentation. The release was apparently much needed and I wanted to thank Mr. Bourdain for this. Our City is recovering and we depend on playing host to the rest of the world to keep our city running. I believe Mr. Bourdain’s contribution to positive press for us will go a long way to help us recover and soar to new heights.

   Thanks,

   Eric Ibert

   Watched Anthony working on the line last night. What a f*cking nightmare! I have to say that because of that episode, I will dine in a more appreciative manner. It is unreal the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. I was completely impressed with every person working 300% to get those meals out to well….us. It was like watching an erratic ballet if you will of latinos. I loved it!! I appreciate it when the hardworking people behind the curtains are finally given a beam of limelight.Thank you Anthony for showing us what it takes to get our meals presented to us hot and cooked to perfection. Never have I seen or realized the intense process and before last night, I really didn’t care. It was an amazing sight and I wish that more of these “chefs” would go behind the scenes of their onscreen kitchens and show us just how much work and preparation goes on before and during the show. I’m disgusted with most of them out there. I think that there is a lack of acknowledgement or perhaps they are afraid of someone stealing their thunder…..who knows. I just wanted to say that I enjoyed watching you freak out under pressure and I have to admit that there was a tiny part of me that wanted to see you “choke”. Call it human nature I guess Thanks again for keeping us aware of just what goes on in millions of restaurants around the world time and time again. Thank you for showing us that our meals aren’t just perfect by accident. Great job by the way under pressure, you totally kept your ass up with those “kids” and I for one congratulate you. How drunk did you get afterwards???

   Thanks Again,

   Lisa Oroz Clark

   Tony Tony Tony, how does it feel to be sitting at the same table with Rocco, whats the deal man? What did the bravo network have to do to get your to do that episode. i guess money makes you do strange things. Maybe you should go back and read your own books, or some Freeling, or Zola. screw the celebrity and fame dude, your better than that. Cook free or die!

   Tony is not a sellout. With that, I would like to invite Tony and crew to Sarasota, Florida. Sarasota has the most registered charities than any other county in the country. (Which means lots of parties!!!) Please have someone concact from Tony’s crew.

    you know as a sell out. we all sell out. I used to be a chef but i dont think being almost 31 that if i went back i be able to handle the line or wanted to. I want to be in charge making menu’s, bangin waitresses & customers. ALl the stuff i watched my executive chefs do when they wold take credit for the food the line staff would either create or make. So i say go on with your bad self. I love your take you show more of the working class & not all the glitz & glamor
