Bourdain in Macau

They just showed Anthony Bourdain in Macau on the Travel Channel. If you get a chance to catch a repeat of it, take a gander 'cause parts of it are great. There is a bit on gambling and a bit on a different kind of pork sandwich.
I saw it few days ago. Nice comeback on the baccarat table. He is one of the few travel host I enjoy watching.

They murder those cards at the table.
The chef is starting to bore me with his focus on "street food." I really don't care what the sidewalk vendors are selling in these faraway places, especially since it's always some variation of starch, fat, and cheese in a bowl. It would be like someone coming to America for the first time and eating nothing but hot dogs, cheesesteaks, etc. I will say that his episode in Cleveland was brilliant.

Hey Curtis, are you sure you are watching the same shows I have been seeing? We have enjoyed this focus on home cooking with fresh ingredients. His episodes from Italy have been awesome. I'm glad he has gotten away for the more bazarre foods like the native Alaskans who butchered a seal in their modern kitchen and ate it raw. No, this was not in Sarah Palin's home.
Hey, I like street food. Where else are you going to find bratwurst with fries that come with mayo and gravy on them, how about Korean egg rolls at 2:00AM, or clams covered with spicey red sauce?
I enjoyed Bourdain's Las Vegas episode.

I love where he started out and said "You couldn't pay me to go to Las Vegas, and then somebody paid me".

I also love when he goes into NYNY in the little city section of the casino and says "this is so wrong" and talks about how there are no pigeons.
