Honestly, I'm having a difficult time watching the special...
Most of the Quebec born/based chef are either full of it or theyre just regular down to earth dudes wholl call you "bro/big/man", just gotta hope its the latter with Picard, he seems to be a bit intense thats for sure.That's a very broad group of people to select from, especially if one considers historical figures.
I'll keep my list to current chefs, so I'd be opting for an evening with Morimoto, José Andres or Martin Picard.

Had the pleasure of speaking with Bottura, that was one of the most surprising encounters Ive had and I wasnt expecting this at all. When I looked up and saw his crazy gray hair and his small glasses I was pretty much shocked.
I don't know if the Berlin episode was the last one of the season. Before he died it was merely going to be the next episode so there may be more "in the can" waiting to be aired.Does anyone know if tonight's Berlin episode of Parts Unknown was the last to air? I couldn't find any details on whether CNN is planning to run the final two episodes of season 11 or even if those were filmed prior to Anthony's unexpected passing.

How about having a beer with Bergevin in da foxhole?Who'd be no. 2 on your list, in terms of a chance to dine with someone? A tv personality, an author, someone who is not a celebrity but who speaks to you? Goes to show you how sometimes you have to pursue these dreams more intently.

That has to be top on a list of a few posters hereHow about having a beer with Bergevin in da foxhole?

You won't believe it, and you don't have to, but let's just say a close friend did recently.
And yes, he lives up to his HF reputation.
Feel free to PM me too, while you're at it.Cant pm you apparently.
Bourdain's wife Instagram is the creepiest thing ever
Well, this has been a blast to watch.
If you're into BBC mini-series it's a must-see IMO. It's just so damn grounded in reality, something producers struggle with at large this side of the Atlantic.
Every time I stumble upon these golden nuggets I wish more of them could be discovered easier. The searches in-between just take too long.
Thanks, GoodKiwi, these two shows seem to be right up my alley. I will definitely check them out.
I've never watched Anthony Bourdain's shows. Where should I start? Is there a big difference between "No reservations" and "Parts Unknown" or is it basically the same thing?
I'd do it chronologically:
A Cook's Tour
No Reservations
The Layover
Parts Unknown
Now, the first two are very similar - they both concentrate more on food exploration than anything else. They also the ones that feature a more "naive" and edgier Bourdain.
"The Layover" tries to change the format a little, but it in the same vein as the two above. This one tries to get its viewer a bit more sense of the location along with food culture. The format is interesting if somewhat flawed.
"Parts Unknown" is not a show about food or travel. It only uses local cuisines as a backdrop for much more serious sociopolitical subject matter. Tony you see here is a far cry from his earlier version. He is predominantly a listener here and he rarely is the one driving dialogue. I often got a feeling that Anthony is tired/disinterested throughout it. This show is certainly meant for a much more mature audience and it doesn't chase mass appeal. I found myself to be less interested in certain episodes than I was in others and I think that's perfectly normal. This is an deeply exploratory show.
If I had to pick my favourite among these four I'd say it's "No Reservations". It's more casual and Bourdain we see there connects with me more. It features some memorable humorous moments that I like a great deal.
Hope this helps and, trust me, you're in for a treat! I'm jealous.
Maybe Bourdain was taken out for his comments about president Trump and Kim Jong-un
