sounds like an ignorant comment you would expect from a ditto head!

bourdain's first book was entertaining.
his TV show is insufferable. he comes across as an arrogant pr1ck, and the show really is sort of boring (most food shows are)

I feel that he has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor that you probably don't pick up on. :light: His expose's on Latin America are insightful. Maybe, you should pay closer attention.

Tony's show is what it is. He keeps enough people watching to stay on the air. I love Cuban food and will make sure I check out the show.
Is Russian or Chinese food Commie cuisine ? How about east German,or Vietnamese?

Been to Cuba twice and the food is great. I am in Apia Samoa right now and had a Tuna steak dinner last night ----THE BEST I EVER HAD even better than the Tuna I had in Tonga.

I don't know any "Commies"! I am not a "Commie" either, but I have been to Cuba and I love Cuban food! :yes: And cervaza is only one dollar, too.

Only ignorant people who live in fear and have no intellectual curiosity (and probably low IQ) would not put Cuba on their bucket list. :D It was definitely a trip of a lifetime. So unique! The people are kind, intelligent, and they have one of the best school systems in the world.

The music is unparalleled! Afro-Cubano Jazz fusion is the best there is. And to watch them dance....Oh my! Oh, and did I mention the women? Well,I saved desert for last. The Cuban women and Colombian women are truly the MOST beautiful in the world. I can strike that off my bucket list too, and meet my demise with a smile. Oh My! :wow::smug::yes::cool:

Anthony and I share first names as well, and....I am a Foodie!

I grew up in Miami, 1952 to 1984.... love great Cuban food, and many of my lifelong friends came over from Cuba. One of my dreams is to take a nice long trip to Cuba some day!

Thanks for the great links! And, Photos!

Anthony Bourdain is arrogant, but he is so honest and politically incorrect that I like his shows. The program he did in Haiti after the earthquake was like nothing I have ever seen before. He's got huevos, big time.

AND - I love Cuban food and music. One of the joys of Mexico is getting a chance to see Cuban musicians perform.

I have been to Cuba and found the people wonderful. The food I thought was so-so but maybe that was bad luck.
My very vivid memory is new years eve 2001 at the Copa. We were with two very good looking Italian gals and my two buds (way younger than me) were trying their best to score.
The place was filled with mostly Mexicans and they were doing their "hi hi hayee" at the top of their lungs.
We rented a house in the Marinaro district with a cook-house keeper.
I don't have images on my computer. I should dig them up and file a trip report. Partly on how to smuggle cigars.

Way to show how illuminated and open minded YOU are. Typical attitude of someone with a low IQ, though "if they don't like what I do, they must be stupid, or ...".

Are you for real? Never mind, don't answer that, I know you are.

Tony is arrogant, which is part of his charm. Anyone interested in food should read, "Kitchen Confidential".

Cuban music is magical and is always on my play list.


Rice, beans, porky sandwiches, I want some right now.
