We went to Beirut to film a TV show about the city's newly vibrant culinary and cultural scene. Then the bombs started falling, and we could only stand on the barricades of our hotel balcony and watch it all disappear -- again.
  • Mourning With Anthony Bourdain

    A former proud resident of Beirut, no article touched me the way Chef Bourdain's truthful article did. His rough eloquence expresses the helplessnes, anger, sorrow and other swirling nameless emotions I feel every day. I was planning a return to my old hometown, to be a part of the joy and rebirth. Now I just stare at a recent photo of the neighborhood where I lived, Ramlet el Baida, taken just a couple of weeks prior to Hizbollah's idiotic act.
