I love his episode(that is on netflix) where he revists an old video of him as a chef when he is really young. It is bittersweet I think. He looks 20 pounds and 20 years younger. Very cool episode if you haven't seen it and like his stuff. He basically talks about his early start and cooking in New York.

Also if you have Netflix instant, check out Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmare UK VERSION. I cannot stress that enough. The UK version is 10x better than the one that is on here in the states. Less about blowing up and more about telling a story.

Yeah he definetly has opinions on who are good cooks and who aren't. He didn't care for Emeril for a long time, but has patched that one up. He likes Alton Brown which surprises me a bit.

I can see how some people would confuse opinionated with arrogant.

Spot on. He may have picked up some chef snobbery in his career. Seems like some of the "sellout" type chefs he has a problem with.

 

[Trainer]

He drinks a lot, but I don't know if he has a problem. Seems like he leads a pretty successful and enjoyable life, IMO.

From what I remember with his interview with Letterman he has more of a sodium and blood pressure issue.

I think his fast life style is catching up with him a little bit. Seems like he get hammered every other episode.

The Bali episode is one of my single favorite TV episodes of any show...ever


Kinda along the same lines, Dhani tackles the Globe makes me think Dhani Jones would be awesome to hang out with too... Very cool, very down to earth.

The Layover shows more of the beat down side of his trips. I cant imagine he is going to do these shows that much longer. He has a young child and he isnt getting any younger himself.

I can see how come he doesn't like TV Food peop . . . Wait a MINUTE :realmad:

 

[mcblogerson]

Met him in LAX one time. He was a jerk to everyone asking for autographs so he's left kind of a sour taste in my mouth. I'm sure it gets old for him, but that's the life he's chosen for himself. Deal with it.

I think anyone over the age of 14 asking for an autograph is an a-hole and should be treated accordingly.

But one of his best friends is Eric Ripert and I can't seem to get that guy off my TV...

 

[marothisu]

Yep. Heaven forbid anyone be casual and talk to a celebrity like they are a person. Running up asking for autographs has to be annoying.

Yep, exactly. I have had drinks with celebs at bars here, know a few, and have friends/family who are friends with them. If you want to talk with a celeb without them getting ****** off, you talk to them like you would anybody else. "Hey, how's it going man?" There's only a small percentage who actually enjoy people worshiping them and having no privacy and being put on a pedestal.

Although the time I was hanging outside and Ron Howard came up next to me, I shook his hand since he deserved it. I guess that's kind of like an autograph?

 

[Tarbox]

Instead do what this Tardbox guy does stalk until they use the bathroom the stand behind them and breath heavily then rub face on urinal handle or toilet seat.

Can radio dj's even afford to fly?

No, we take trains.

Also, the title is "Air Talent" if you please.

 

[Cyfan1843]

yep Love watching him bozzed up.

 

[TRZA]

The snobbery is strong with this one. He takes a ton of "artistic license" with the anecdotes he uses in his books. He cut the footage he filmed at a certain bistro in Des Moines without any explanation. I can't even find it on the Travel Channel website.

 

[BoxsterCy]

I wouldn't mind having his gig, but he always strikes me as a jerk

He is entertaining but in real life I would think to find that he is probably a ****.

 

[Broodwich]

Durian tastes like onions and melted ice cream.

I wouldn't have that experience without him.

 

[ThatllDoCy]

Great show, and think he is great. If u watch the show you know to buy him a beer or leave him alone. He's hungover and probably flew halfway around the globe.

 

[Frak]

I think that he's more typical New Yorker than *****. I love his shows...not must-watch, but I'll stop there while channel surfing. I guess I enjoy seeing him immerse himself into the local cultures as well as seeing a chef enjoy local foods that aren't all presentation and no substance. Plus he likes to drink!

 

[Blandboy]

I've watched No Reservations but Mr. BoreDrain gets tired real fast. WAY too much attitude for me.
