Dang it! Missed Anthony Bourdain!

2005 07 anthonyontheroad Dang it!  Missed Anthony Bourdain!
I heard that Anthony Bourdain, my hero, was planning to shoot an episode of “No Reservations” (Travel Channel) in Korea. He just posted that he has just returned from Korea. And I didn’t get to meet him.

So sad.

But here is what he wrote:

Okay, proud Koreans: I just got back from shooting an episode there. I had a fantastic time, developed a deep and abiding love for kimchee, Korean street food and your kooky-krazy party-all-the-time attitude. It was–however, truly dismaying to find out that just about ANY 98 pound Korean girl can drink me under the table. That soju packs a punch!
And next year’s “clip show” of outttakes will have some priceless moments: The entire crew–swacked on soju and beer, singing “Anarchy In The UK” in a karaoke room. I will, of course, make sure that my own atonal contributions will be skillfully edited out.

Joe McPherson is the founding editor of ZenKimchi. He is also dining editor for 10 Magazine and writes and consults for multiple publications. He is the only non-Korean judge for the Korean section of the Miele Guide--but don't ever call him a food critic.
