i love anthony bourdain and his food network show “no reservations.” i’ve bought two of his books, “the nasty bits” and “a cook’s tour.” he is an amazing writer. his prose stimulates all five senses.

Hi Lani! Go ahead with your food craving. What you don’t know won’t hurt you. As Bourdain himself said…”your body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy the ride”:grin:

I’m a fan of Anthony Bourdain, I love his frankness also. I will get a copy of this book. Like sa Ma Mon Luk, once kaming kumain ang tingin ko ang dumi noong resto nila pero ngayon gusto ko ulit kumain dun Masarap kasi pero what do you think Ajay, malinis kaya ang preparation ng food doon? Nagtanong pa ano?

read this book, too. He even talked about how chefs are getting laid, right? Or is it another one? Anyway, it was a good read for me, too.

Thanks for these interesting inputs Cath. Guess we will never know what goes behind the scenes in these restos, eh? On the other hand, it’s good that open kitchens are all the rage now..

ajay,
very interesting.
I also have my own don’ts when I eat in a restaurant.
1. fried rice, i prefer steamed rice(rice is a left-over and so are the other stuff that go with it such as meat
2. prefer grilled fish or steamed fish than fried(some restaurants use recycled cooking oil )
3. order unopened iced cold soda and ask for glass
someone working in a restaurant said that the restaurant owner instructs them to recycle the unfinished soda by serving it to customer who orders soda in a glass with ice.

4. my friend from an airline company advised me to order canned soda instead of water even if i see that it comes from a big bottle. Not unless, its uncorked bottled water.
