His disdain for the situation was clear. LOL "Errol Flynn's grandson" as if that's something to put on a resume.

The Mass. episode was great. Bourdain taking part in the group session with other recovering addicts was more real than any documentary on drugs.

Also loved the P-Town part. Back in the early 80s. my 1st wife and I spent a few drunken nights in the Old Colony Tap washing down the food from The Lobster Pot.

Good season so far...he's getting more political, too.

So you like it more political.

It's different...I love the food and travel stuff...I don't mind him getting into politics a little bit...he's weaving it into the show so that it makes sense...

He's always been political. It's just that with CNN he has a freer hand with that theme than he had at Travel. He's not a jerk about it. Hell, he gets along with Ted Nugent and they couldn't be farther apart politically.

I certainly agree that he's not a jerk about it. He's just basically a very decent person.

i thought jamaica was the season finale?

^^ you are correct sir

did not like the creative choice of telling the korea story in a non-linear way

haven't watched this in a long time (well, i think i watched the japan episode last season). what's it like for the most part? is there much food content left?

Yeah it's pretty much the same with a more politics, same amount of food, but less fluff pieces like Tony wrestling or something.

Seemed really pointless and just made the episode difficult to follow. Hail Mary to liven up an otherwise pretty dull episode? Didn't work. Probably the weakest episode of the CNN series.

did anyone watch Breaking Borders with Mike Voltaggio?

I guess it's not too surprising that Darren Aronofsky is a hipster neckbeard

I watched about half an episode (from the middle to the end), and found it ok, but had no desire to watch any more episodes.

It's back!

Thought Cuba was pretty good though I would have liked to see more outside of the two cities...

Cuba looks cool

Yea wish Tony was more into cigars

I like too watch him too, but i wonder how this man has still a healthy indigestion or bowel movement or that his stomach is still healthy.

Because this man has too be one of the people on this planet that has had the most diverse and strange and hot and spicy diet known too mankind right?

Imagine what this man has eaten in all those years of making food programs, because i don't know how long this man is on television already but it must be between 10 and 15 years, and him himself being a chef and writer of one or more cookbooks, it must be enormously more divers then a huge majority of thew worlds population.

I don't know but it just occurred to me, and i really wondered about it.

Some people just have stronger digestive systems. I know i do.

What amazes me more about Tony is that he drinks the way he does considering he's a recovering heroin addict.

Most people who get clean say the #1 thing you have to do to avoid relapsing into your addiction is not drink. The first thing alcohol steals is your ability to say no.

I'm sure it's variable from person to person depending on how bad you were addicted, how drunk you get when you drink, and your resolve to keep drinking part of your life by not letting it screw up other parts.

Of course NA will tell you you're just kidding yourself. But if you've ever been to an NA meeting and listen to the stories, you realize most of those people have hit a rock bottom most of us can't fathom.

This new season has been awesome. Cuba, Marseilles, and Okinawa so far. I love how well the show mixes food porn with serious, political, cultural, and social commentary.

I really liked Okinawa. I didn't know the history there at all.

Okinawa is awesome but man taco rice and that grape seaweed stuff is the worst.

Taco Rice looked to me like an Asian version of Skyline Chili.
