Speaking of food, I'm also a bit of an Anthony Bourdain fan. Loved his first book and although he's probably made too many of them now, his food and travel shows are often great. He has a healthy mix of genuine enthusiasm for food and cynical contempt for almost everything else.
There there. I love Kitchen Confidential it´s probably one of my favourite non fiction books. I´m a chef by trade so i think to me, it´s more like a therapeutical read. I´ve read it like 4 or 5 times now, sometimes during stressful or bad work periods and it always makes me crack a laugh and remember why i´m still doing what i do.
It´s been a long time since i´ve watched any new No Reservations, but i think it´s a very honest and enjoyable food show. On the other end of the spectrum i have those horrendous episodes about Mario Batalli and Gwyneth Paltrow in Spain. They are so pompous and condescending, ruins what could have been a very interesting show...
Tv for me right now it´s all about Breaking Bad, probably best show i´ve ever seen after The Sopranos. Besides from the sick acting, the storylines and the evolution of the characters are just brilliant. Last weeks episode was crazy, so many answers and so many new questions at the same time! Maybe BB should have it´s own thread so we can discuss freely.
Also waiting for the new Fringe and Dexter seasons. In the humor department Community is doing it for me...
On the pending list are The Shield, Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones
