Loading...I had several Anthony Bourdain themed dreams last night. I don’t remember the substance of them, just that his buck-toothed smirk was in them. I shouldn’t have watched back-to-back episodes of No Reservations before I went to bed. I’m a recent watcher of the show and thanks to my DVR was able to collect some past episodes. What I like best about him is that he conveys the idea that who we are doesn’t really change when we are travelling. If he’s lazy and a smoker who avoids physical activity, he’s not going to suddenly relish climbing 274 stairs just because he’s entering a holy Hindu cave in Malaysia. He’s going to pant and complain. However, despite that, he’s very open to the various experiences presented to him and is very honest about his reactions. I aspire (rather skeptically) to be that open. It’s refreshing from a travel host and show. And the fact that they are willing to film him while he’s drunk is a definite plus.
That being said, he’s not welcome in my dreams anymore.
