So, Anthony Bourdain is my hero. I find his hedonistic, slightly cynical, truthful approach to both travel and food inspiring. Now, the road he's taken to get to this point in his life has been a bit dodgy (imagine a sex, drugs, rock n' roll restaurant scene throughout the 80's in NYC), which explains why this man in his late 50's has more edge than most people in their 20's, heck maybe their teens. I think everyone would be better off by gleaning a bit of his reckless abandon toward life and lack of concern for critics. Anyways, here's an interview from salon.com that gives you a bit of an insight to this man's psyche. Feel free to pick up his book Kitchen Confidential off Amazon.com. It manages to capture the adventurous spirit that is alive and well in the restaurant world (he often uses the term pirate in reference to the workers, which I find to be incredibly endearing).
