Don't you have to make reservations like 3 months in advance for The French Laundry?

Worth it, IMO.

I know someone who can get in ANY TIME HE GODDAMNED WANTS TO and I hate him for it.

Bastard.

One day I will ask him to pull some strings for me.

The only place I can get in any time I want to is Kerble's Mom.

















I couldn't resist.

I wish that I could stomach some of the more exotic foods available. I have a pretty burly gag reflex though. It's all mental. If I think something will smell bad, It will make me gag. Anyone have any suggestions to overcome this?

Feel free to make any gagging dick jokes too.

The one attempt I ever made to eat at the French Laundry was a ridiculous experience.

Fuck that place.

two chefs i've worked for that have been to the french laundry both agreed it was the best meal they'd ever had. and both chefs are actually way into new american cuisine and so for whatever reason have a thing against french cooking and the classics in general.

it seems kinda crazy to me. i'll look online at the tasting menu and it's like, ok i know this has gotta taste great, but god damn i so don't want to eat tongue! i feel like were i to accompany my chef boyfriend to french laundry for his awesome experience, i would kill it by asking for an insane amount of bread and butter. totally lame. how was the french laundry a ridiculous experience for you?

On No Reservations tonight, Bourdain eats a doughnut with bacon on it.

From Voodoo Doughnut in Portland.

Please please please someone send me one. Or two. And a Dirty Bastard doughnut (chocolate, oreos, peanut butter) too.

Thanking you.

I will try that someday. The nyquil donut looked good, too.

Eating a raw seal on a kitchen floor = Not Crap.

The best part of that was the Voodoo Doughnut guy saying "Yeah, we can't make those any more because the FDA says you can't put medicine in food."

C'mon, someone who lives in/goes to Portland a lot must be reading this.

Set me up with some of those bacon doughnuts and I will make it worth your while...
