Anthony Bourdain - The Layover
Anybody watch this show? I'm a big Bourdain fan, he's an ass but I like his shows But this layover show is just terrible I saw the previews and LOVED the concept, loved it 36 hours in a major city...what to do...yes please! But whoever is putting this together is ridiculous They just had a show on New York New...Fucking...York right? How many EXCEPTIONALLY cool things can you see in 36 hours? Here's what he suggests... Hotel bar - Dead empty - place does not get many guests but he likes the wallpaper...what? Really? You are doing a show about NEW FUCKING YORK CITY and this is the best you can suggest? Second Hotel bar - to have a hamburger College Bookstore Subway Inn - Dive bar Crif Dogs - Hot Dog joint PDT - Bar that he admits YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO INTO Yakiniku Takashi - Japanese Restaurant about the only reasonable suggestion on the show M. Wells - Diner. Not just a diner...a diner across the bridge in Brooklyn...and a diner that is now CLOSED The Big Gay Ice Cream Truck - Food Truck - Meh...not a horrible choice, but really the best you can do in New York? High Line Park - Park - The first truly reasonable suggestion of the show Chef Restaurant Supply - Miscellaneous Shop - We have MUCH larger restaurant supply warehouses here in St. Petersburg and Tampa Baohaus - Asian Restaurant Tammany Hall - Music Venue Papaya King - Hot Dog Joint - Really the only place I might think about going that he went to He had 36 hours and went to some of the most ridiculous places in that city...seriously....why not come up with a reasonable show about places that REAL PEOPLE would want to go if they had a layover? The show just sucks Dec 06 11 05:14 am Link I like Bourdain too but sometimes he tries too hard to be obscure. Dec 06 11 06:55 am Link I love the show. Problem is, when I watch it I drink too much. Have to try to keep up with him. Dec 06 11 11:57 am Link I think years of tiny amounts of blow fish venom have affected his mind. Dec 06 11 12:18 pm Link You clearly do not know New York. Dec 06 11 09:19 pm Link I usually jest get stinkin' drunk in the airport bar, and sleep through the next flight . . . SOS Dec 06 11 10:39 pm Link |
