    Food Porn

    Filed under: Food, tv bits — Ten @ 4:26 am

    Tall. Lanky. Athletically-challenged. A traveler and a foodie. A foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, middle-aged chef. A dozen more adjectives, good and bad, describe Anthony Bourdain. And then some.

    I heart this guy.

    Tony Bourdain’s No Reservations is must-see TV in our household. It’s just is. Could this be another case of food porn? Or does this fascination run deeper? Away from the poster card shots and safe destinations, NR is more intimate take on culture. It builds its niche by experiencing varying places through local color and cuisine. I wonder if this fascination boils down to finding a kindred spirit, ready to take on adventurous feasts.

    Hm.

    Nah. It’s all about food porn.

      You do know about his blog on Travel Channel, right?

      I enjoy his shows too, maybe not as far as to have a crush on him (so iyo na siya, sis!) — but I think what I appreciate the most about him is that he says what he thinks bluntly and honestly, and I think people still appreciate that quality.

      Haha. I have a big crush on Tony. I love how he welcomes different cultures (especially the food). And I love how different NR is with other travel shows.

      And again, there’s food porn. =p
