I've become a Bourdain fan recently, mostly due to his No Reservations show. I've also read a few of his books (I'm in Cook's Tour now).
What I've come to enjoy so much about Anthony Bourdain is his plain-spoken nature. He has his opinions and freely expresses them, all the while noting that he might very well be full of s**t.
If you want to see talking heads who are certain they're never wrong about anything, watch Fox News.
If you want to see sheep who temper everything they say, whose idea of fairness is to counter every bit of information with an opposing viewpoint (however widly off the mark), then watch CNN.
Like a real person, though, Bourdain's often wrong, but never uncertain.
P.S. I happen to think he's right on the money about Rachael Ray. And Bobby Flay, for that matter.
