No Reservations

I thought his nickname was Big-Time Timmy Jim...Timmy the Bat just doesn't make sense for a pitcher

1) On what we've all got coming to us: "I happen to believe that everybody in this world, at one point in their life, needs an ass kicking."

2) On his approach to the Boston episode: "This is about me and my friend Mike trying to have a wicked fucking time in Boston, and if you have a problem with that, then you can just fuck off over to Samantha Brown."
3) On getting a colonoscopy: "They could be jooking you with a GI Joe and you'd never know!"
4) On nanny states: "I support fully all adult Americans' right to eat themselves to death. It's pretty much what I'm doing for a living."
5) On eating oneself to death: "But it's un-Christian! What do you think, Jesus was sitting there at the last supper having an extra helping of tiramisu?"
6) On candlepin bowling: "The balls are smaller — insert Stallone joke here — the pins are skinny, and it's hard, much harder, to knock them all down."
7) When asked how it feels to be beaten by a woman: "Have you met my wife?"
8.) On a gigantic omelet: "Now I know why the Big Dig took so long, after you eat all that, you're not exactly double-timing it."
9) On the legitimacy of his guide's claim that he's from Southie: "Okay. We know by now that my friend from the mean streets of Hingham here did not grow up working a speed bag between bong hits."
10) On the rigors of producing No Reservations: "As television professionals, all we have to do is drink for the rest of the afternoon."
11) On the beverages available in Boston: "The drink of choice here is alcohol. There's beer, and whiskey apparently, and oh yeah, this: a mix of Jagermeister and Red Bull that's just wrong."

I watched the episode and it was basically a review of Southie, minus a stop at the beginning in Eastie that lasted about 3 minutes

Really gotten into bourdain lately now that I have a DVR lol ... this season has been solid .. loved the Cuba episode.. looking forward to Cajun Country next week as well..

Finished 2 of his books this month as well .. the infamous Kitchen Confidential as well as Medium Rare .. good reads ..took me about 2 days to finish each of them..

[rearadmiral]

His obsession with Food Net personalities is off-putting. Comes across as a cunt.

[lugnutz]

I do not enjoy his stance on cooking beef either, but he is on my list of people I would love to drink with.

[tballa55]

how does he cook beef?

RA i agree with his Paula Deen, can't stand her.

[lugnutz]

Light sear rare to med rare served slightly warm. Not my bag. He also trounced your theory on searing in the same episode. To paraphrase "idiots who think they have to burn the outside of beef drive me nuts" or something like that.

Asshole

The food network people he calls out our jackasses .. sandra lee and paula dean cmon RA .. if you read the book i get why he hates food network . he was on that channel first for 1 year ... they told him to stay with US locals and bbq type food cause thats what gets ratings .. They are right about ratings but I'll take his show over any of the food netwrk ones.. totally agree Lugz would love to drink with guy.. He liked much stronger stuff while he was a chef.. you know Colombian specialty

IN!

[rearadmiral]

Not saying I'm a fan of FN, DC.

Just pointing out he sounds like a petty asshole by Tweeting about them and shitting on them in interviews.

We get it, you don't like anyone at your old job & you're "edgy". Move along.

[lugnutz]

I love FN, but Tony isn't acting edgy he is edgy in real life.
