Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

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.

Oh weird! And now I can't get to it either...hmm...maybe because I copied from a link in Twitter?

I'll try to figure it out.

This is what it says:

Eric Ripert, the internationally recognized chef of Le Bernardin restaurant in New York and frequent guest judge on Bravo's "Top Chef," will star for the first time in his own TV series, called "Avec Eric," debuting nationally in the fall on PBS.

Ripert and Le Bernardin have received numerous accolades, earning the highest ratings possible from the New York Times, the Michelin Guide and Zagat.

Ten episodes of "Avec Eric," distributed by American Publication Television, are scheduled to run in the fall.
