Behind the Screen: Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

That would be him (and the name of his best selling book.) I didn't have a chance to catch that series. It looks like it got canceled almost right out of the gate.

BTW: I've been watching Man vs. Food too. It is a funny show. I'll give it the props its deserves.
Oh man I was feeling sick myself when he was trying to eat that pizza!!! :sick: He is pretty funny though and you can tell he really enjoys food.

Since he's been connected to this show before, I'll just post this here. It's wrong on so many levels, but hilarious at the same time. User image
Chef, author and Travel Channel host Anthony Bourdain has never been known for keeping quiet about anything, whether it's his opinion of other celebrity chefs or the respectability of various fast food franchises. But what happens when you ask Bourdain how to cook a creature of myth? Simple: He gives you a recipe. Bourdain appeared at the Great GoogaMooga Festival in Brooklyn over the weekend for a lively Q&A session that covered everything from his loathing of the Olive Garden to his thoughts on whether he'd ever eat a human (he would, but only in a last-resort kind of context). Then something surprisingly adorable happened. A little girl asked Bourdain how he'd cook a unicorn. OK, so maybe that's not adorable. Maybe it's weird and a little creepy that a kid wants to know how to serve up such a majestic (and fictional) creature. But either way, the question was put to Bourdain, and the ever-verbose chef had an answer. Turns out it's not just one recipe. You have to cook different parts of the animal in different ways. "He would roast the loin, grill the legs, braise the forequarter and use the horn to pick your teeth with after the meal. For the record, unicorn marrow is delicious, he says." Well, that seems simple enough. Now all we have to do is find enough of these things to start ranching them and Bourdain can open his very own Unicorn Grill to the masses. But what about other fantasy creatures? Can Bourdain come up with a recipe to make bridge trolls appetizing?

I would use the unicorn horn as an ice cream cone for dessert, but I'm no Anthony Bourdain.

This thread has been dead for quite some time. However, I still watch the show and have seen every episode. I also did get a chance to read Kitchen Confidential (which was great) and his latest book Medium Raw (not so good.) I'd have that unicorn's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

I watch the show every now and then but Travel is more of a stumble upon station for me.
