Since 2003, the most consistent thing I have had access to in my life is the television and movies.

As sad and embarrassing as this is, I write about it anyways.

the cook toured public radio...

I did not have a television when I first heard of Anthony Bourdain, I had a radio. Also, I did (and still haven't) read any books lately, by Mr. Bourdain or anyone else for that matter.

I heard Bourdain do the public radio rounds when the book Cooks Tour first came out. He gave great interview.

On the radio, his voice had that patina which can only be made from years of saturated fryer fats and nicotine. The experiences he was claiming to have had matched the voice and what I know of the world of restaurants.

I remembered him when he did the same public radio tour for Kitchen Confidential.
