Tony Bourdain’s show No Reservations is profiling DC in its newest episode, airing this Monday at 9pm. The show’s preview included considerable footage with star chef Jose Andres but few other details. Having watched his show enough, it’s not surprising he picked Jose Andres to be the chef profiled (certainly wouldn’t have been Michel Richard). But given his obsession with innovative, unique, and off the beaten path restaurants, I’ll be really disappointed if he ends up at Zaytinya or Jaleo since they could be the two most visited spots in the city.I’m also interested to see if he ends up at Ben’s Chili Bowl, since it has the history and food Bourdain likes but is already a celebrity-like establishment. Granville Moore’s, Rays the Steaks, Dino, and Komi all seem like his type of places to visit, but knowing his show, he’ll pick a far more random group to visit.
Way to move and delete all my comments, asshole
ReplyDeleteI think he'll definitely profile Ben's, and probably Marrakesh. I think two other contenders could be Old Ebbit Grill (he can't igone the political population entirely) and maybe (though probably not) Nora's, since that's the first organic restaurant in the country. Anywayyy, I still haven't seen the NJ No Reservations and it's killing me!! Did you see it?
ReplyDeleteBourdain in DC?! Its like your (our) dream come true! I wish you'd known ahead time so we could have stalked him out, waited around for autographs, taken creepy photos! ;) Anyway, i'll be sure to watch! yay!
