Anthony Bourdain The Layover
Anthony Bourdains got a new show called the layover. Its about what to do when you only have a day or two in a city your flying through. Its pretty much No Reservations in a shorter time span.
Anybody else check this? Action Bronson has a little cameo in the 2nd episode which is about New York.

Seeing Action was great. I love the show, although it's supposed to be about things to do when you have a half a day to a day and a half in a place. He kind of went to places that are gonna be hard to get into and will have you waiting an hour to have. Still cool though.
The singapore episode was good as well.

Zane Lamprey. He's got another show called Drinking Made Easy. I think Bourdain has the better job tho, better food and doesnt have to drink if he doesnt feel like it. Shows like these make great tv but I doubt that either of what they do is as glamorous as it looks once its all edited.Dat_Triflin_Ass_Dude wrote:who has the better job? Bourdain or the guy who does Three Sheets (I forget his name)? Used to watch Three Sheets religiously back when my cable service carried the Mojo channel. Anyone else seen that shit?

^^^ The whole concept of the The Layover (ie, a quick trip) was created so Bourdain wouldn't have to spend as much time on the road. With travel and everything an episode of No Res takes a week to film. For seasons five and six this fool basically spent two years on the road. He got re-married a couple years ago and wasn't really fucking with that. Tom Collichio was giving him shit about how much work he had to do to have a TV show, which is how he ended up a one of the judges for Top Chef -- testing it out. He was looking to host a competition show, a show just set in the U.S., or a show with shorter trips and they went with the third one.
Leaving out a lot of details, but it's the basic contours of the story.
Edit: Another good story (which has come out publicly now) -- Brew Masters, the show about Dogfish Head Brewery on the Travel Channel comes from the same folks who do The Layover and No Res. It had a half season order. It was doing really well, and was basically considered to be a lock to get picked up for the full season and potentially longer. Out of the blue Travel Channel hit them up and said they were cancelling the show. They couldn't figure out what the fuck happened, until they later learned that Anheuser- Busch threatened to pull all of their advertising from the Travel Channel if they didn't yank the show. Travel Channel caved, so the show is now billed as a "six part documentary series" (as if that was the intention from the beginning -- it was intended to be a multi-year reality series a la Pawn Stars, etc. )

excellent post. love bourdain. if he was a judge/host on top chef id actually watch it. strangely, i dont watch a lot of tv, and ive only seen like 5 no reservations episodes. i dont care about beer but i might actually watch that brewmasters show. a bourdaine show just set in the US would really only work for like one or two seasons at bestPopeyeJones wrote:^^^ The whole concept of the The Layover (ie, a quick trip) was created so Bourdain wouldn't have to spend as much time on the road.

Are you more of a fan of his writing? Youre missing out on No Reservations, show is probably one of my favorite things to watch on tv.ric wrote:excellent post. love bourdain. if he was a judge/host on top chef id actually watch it. strangely, i dont watch a lot of tv, and ive only seen like 5 no reservations episodes. i dont care about beer but i might actually watch that brewmasters show. a bourdaine show just set in the US would really only work for like one or two seasons at bestPopeyeJones wrote:^^^ The whole concept of the The Layover (ie, a quick trip) was created so Bourdain wouldn't have to spend as much time on the road.

I mentioned this in another thread but when Bourdain was in Seattle filming an episode of No Reservations a few years ago my boy, who is a chef, and I ran into him In a bar where he was chilling by himself. We got to hang out with him for like an hour and a half and shoot the shit and drink beers with him. My boy and him talked shop and we talked about a gang of Shit. He was super fucking cool and really down to earth. Seriously one of the coolest people I've ever met.

Brew Masters was a discovery joint brah
Oops. Good catch. Yeah. Same story but Discovery. That production Co mostly works with Travel. Bourdain tweeted about this, which is how it got out.

there is no other bourdain book that really does what kitchen confidential does, which is take you inside the kitchen and front office. medium raw takes you 'behind the curtain' but its not exactly the same.AMASK wrote:^ just read kitchen confidential, is medium raw a good follow up?
im skeptical in that his lack of celebrity and public image was part of what made KC so good.
i recommend The Nasty Bits, though. its a collection of stuff that didnt make Kitchen Confidential or Cooks Tour or No Reservations or an article.
