I just can't wait to see what he thought of B'more this time around. If he still hates it or what. I know he ate somewhere with Snoop from the Wire! I'm pretty sure he got lake trout because he mentioned somewhere (on his blog maybe?) about how it's neither from a lake nor is it trout. It's one of my fave b'more food facts!

I'm curious if he'll do pit beef during the Baltimore episode.

His blog post about Chicago suggests that beef is on the menu in Baltimore.

I sent a friend Bourdain's post about Chicago and she emailed me back that Ripert is going to have his own show on PBS!!

The same can be said for San Francisco.

You know, I love this place, but it is not a city like NY or Chicago. It doesn't even have a million people. Most of the city is houses, not buildings.

It doesn't even have a million people.

I think that's why Bourdain called it "a nice town." I've never been (really want to, though!), but from what I've seen and read, it's a coastal, more elegant town-like city than Milwaukee, which is another city I'd more likely call a "town." Milwaukee has a certain small-town atmosphere to it that contrasts sharply with Chicago.

Bourdain totally does pit beef in B'more. I'm not sure when the episode is airing though.

I sent a friend Bourdain's post about Chicago and she emailed me back that Ripert is going to have his own show on PBS!!

I was just coming here to post about that!
