Anthony Bourdain Sighting

I was out this morning running errands and around 10:30 I saw him walk out of a deli with a cup of coffee in hand. I was getting out of my car and he was about 30 or so feet from me. I did a double take. It was just the two of us in the parking lot, so I got a good look. He was wearing sunglasses ( and it was cloudy) a black short wool coat, carpenter pants and looked like he just rolled out of bed. His hair was all curly.
I need glasses, but it was definitely him as I was able to see his earring as well, and that confirmed it for me.
I think he needs to change his sneakers though. I never saw hoofies that big in my life. :rolling:
I was going to ask him for autograph, but he looked so sleepy, I didn't want to bother him.

I love that guy.
He looks tall. Is he?
I would have been tempted to at least say "Hey Tony--keep up the good work."
But I probably wouldn't have, especially if he looked that wasted. ;-)

Yes, he is very tall! and I was afraid to say anything to him. He looked that wasted.

I thought they were sno-shoes at first. That's how big his feet looked. :floor: He looked like he borrowed someone's clothes.

No, he just walked out of the deli with coffee. Probably lit up in the car.
Yes, he is TALL

Believe me DD. He was not looking very cute yesterday. :blink: :lol:
I almost didn't think it was him. I thought, geez, he looks familiar, but then the baggy clothes made him look so much heavier. But the face was definitely him. Then how many men with all gray hair that tall have an earring?
I once literally bumped into Richard Gere in Greenwich Village, and he looked a lot like Bourdain did. I thought Gere was a street vagrant.
Must have been a realy rough night. :twisted:

I mentioned to Mr. JR one time that I thought Anthony B. was kinda cute. He looked at me like I was insane! :rolling:

He does have a bad boy charm about him, and I love his sense of humor.
I watched him last night in Indonesia, and he cracked me up when he got so excited about getting pancakes delivered by boat.

No, he is cute, JR! I fell for him reading his books, sight unseen. Then saw him, and that sealed the deal. Bad boys who cook, what's not to like? :idontno:

I really like travel shows but I just don't get his :idontno: . Sometimes I get it confused with Fear Factor cause of the crap he'll put in his mouth :puke:

What Peapod said.
And that second book, in some parts, was like Fear Factor.
Duck embryo, anyone?

Anyone who has worked for any period of time in a restaurant kitchen should read one of his books. Food Network has fooled many people into thinking the kitchen is a glam location of creativity;I can tell you, it is a sweaty Hell of tough people, cursing and third degree burns. :twisted:

It's true. Kitchen Confidential is the most accurate depiction of a professional kitchen that I've ever seen. Some of the nicest, most mild-mannered people go to work in a kitchen and turn into vulgar, filthy pirates.

I enjoyed watching Bourdain eat the raw Seal on the Inuit family's kitchen floor.....mostly the eyeball sucking footage.
