That was a particularly bad one, Vortex, but it's not a good group at all.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

It's on Travel Channel. First one was in Laos. I don't know what the repeat schedule is like - i.e., I know that they repeat lots but don't know if they'll do this after the whole run or in the week before the next new one.

Dear lord, I am an unkind person because I SO wanted a long, lingering shot of Jen's reaction when Christina came through the door as the winner on Hell's Kitchen. I was practically screaming at my TV for it.

No shit. That was a serious missed opportunity.

Yeah, how did they miss that?
But Jen is so delusional.
(Also, the No Reservations Laos episode is repeating on the 14th - I think at 10 am.)

Wattched the Laos ep- very depressing and angry-making. Definitely hits home that American foreign policy decisions have been mega-imperialistic for a long, long time. I had no idea about the bombings there. Should look it up now, I guess, so that my primary source for this information isn't an ex-junkie chef/prfessional bullshitter. (which I say with love, of course.)
Bourdain was very subdued.
Next week is Columbia!

Wow, it's like Bourdain is doing a food version of P.J. O'Rourke's HOLIDAYS IN HELL. He already hit Belfast during the Irish episode (which, granted, is much improved from even a few years ago).
