  • I also hate that in order to describe why im not a fan of the guy at work id also have to reallllly tilt my hand to the mostly likely leadt receptive person. Bourdain fans are like Hunter S Thompson fans because one is always the other. Never ever to be trusted. I am in generally DEEPLY sick of and annoyed by basic ass dudes who have had access to psychedelics. Give these guys coke instead ffs. I will send every fuckig line cook that brings up dmt or how many mushrooms they used to do and how it made them ‘wise’ into a library with no drugs and if they refuse they have to do hard drugs for long enough to know that they never make you smart but if you only do weed and psychedelics they make you smug about it. At least people who do real drugs aren’t proud of it







  • After a really busy week in the kitchen, I am dreading the new remember shuffle episode cause it’s about Anthony Bourdain. I have nothing against the guy himself, I just DESPISE his influence on the industry. It gave cokehead line cooks and excuse to be pretentious, his travel show made a perversion with ‘authentic’ cuisines of whatever ethnicity to become the only fucking thing you can do and it’ll br based around your bosses idea of authenticity. I work at an italian place where the owner freaked out over someone making our soup of the week chilli cause we had beans to use up cause it’s ‘not Italian’ we have a Hawaiian pizza on the menu. While fusion cooking had gone a bit far by the 2000s the ethnic authenticity thing has gone far enough in the other direction that it’s gotta a bit racist tbh. I think Tony’s travel thing was about the only way to get genuine food from a foreign culture is to go there and see what theyre eating. It doesnt mean if you’re in america that only certain races are good at making certain food and that’s what the average cokehead line cook has taken from it, unless they make it, theyre the special white guy. What we need is unions, not romanticizing a dead end job where most people have substance abuse issues. He’s the Joe Rogan of food, I dont think he tried or wanted to be that, but the results are the same.














  • I forget the previous Trelane episode but recall not liking it.

    With the soft lighting and dramatic pauses and sometimes the camera work but they didnt go stagey enough there except for gags. I have been warching my grandmother’s old vhs taped from tv days of our lives tapes that I think she kept on a magnet to get samples for weird industrial music, so ive been watching a lot of soap opera. They dont really get thst quite right but they almost manage to film like tos and tng did and if they tried it seriously it would make the show look better. I dont want most tv shows to look cinematic. Trek needs flat lighting and coverage and a director who is against a deadline
