Has Anthony Bourdain ever eaten something he didn't like?

He's faking it. I love "No Reservations", but there's no way he digs all the indigenous dishes he eats. Sometimes it's like watching Bear Grylls chow down.

I think he can pick and choose a bit more than Andrew Zimmern.

I'm sure that when you get paid to visit exotic places and enjoy the hospitality of the locals, the food tastes better.

AB is a most manly chef, and those that like his show are likewise.

Cooking often = getting laid. I'd like to see you take Mr. Ramsay's man card...


As for Tony, watch the Top Chef that he judges, (I only saw the first and second episodes) and he had a few things he didn't like.

I remember he was eating a shrimp or prawn of some sort in India. He commented on the texture of the meat, and found out that the prawn feeds on the bodies that cluster in a certain area of the Ganges.

Can't remember if he liked it or not.

I love "No Reservations". Anthony just loves food, period. I think that when you travel as much as he does, you develop a very broad palate. He also seems to enjoy a variety of local beverages. He has the best job in the world.

On one episode Anthony tried hákarl and said it was the worst thing he's ever eaten. Can't say I blame him, as it's just sounds ****ing nasty.

In the Namibia show with Kalahari bushmen (season 2, I think) he ate scrambled ostrich egg, cooked in the sand, with ashes still on it, rare warthog anus, and warthog tongue coated with the remnants of the warthog's diet. He said it was the hardest meal he ever had to eat. He did like the roasted beetles filled with salt though!

Kinda solemn, but warming as well.

I actually saw him give a live talk and he seem very honest about what he did and did not like.

If you watch the show enough, you know he is a total sucker for pho, stews with nasty bits, blood sausage, and spicy stuff.

Ate at his restaurant in NYC once. Nothing not to like there. Excellent french fries.

That's weird. I don't know of any place in the Ganges where bodies "cluster". It's polluted in stretches, but "cluster in a certain area of the Ganges": that's something I never knew

I saw him eating at a confectionery shop in Venice and he said he didn't like sweet stuff Maybe it was tongue-in-cheek but I'm not sure.

I really loved his old show on the Food Network "A Cooks Tour"
and I am a fan of his current show "No Reservations"

If you really want to know his background I recommend reading "Kitchen Confidential"
I am a professional chef and I think its pretty honest and a hilarious read
I can say I have met a few people in my work history that fits some of these characters that he has worked with

I do know he doesnt like Natto which is Japanese fermented soybeans
I personally love it but then again I cant see myself eating tree grubs

Anthony has tried durian several times and still hates it.
