Add 2 more sixes here and you get Bourdain's true nucleus. Yeah back in No Reservations days he was Mr. Snarky and was enjoyable. BUT instead of aging gracefully this guy is beginning to remind me of a curmudgeon or that album cover from Jethro Tull's Aqualung or the sinister character in Oliver! (1968) who wouldn't give Olive another bowl. Ironically enough in the Tennessee episode he has a scorpion tattoo in the bay of his elbow and then makes the smirky comment: "sinister."

Why is my wrath being unleashed here? The despicable way he treated his friend Eric in the Sichuan episode is why. My gut feeling tells me intense rivalry and jealousy of Eric's 3-Michelin star Le Bernardin.

They took a class together in the Sichuan cuisine and were tasked to produce dishes and as the judge was tasting their dishes Eric remarked how ultra- competitive Bourdain is and was kinda shocked.

Perhaps even more the dark side of Bourdain is displayed in his Borneo episode S06E06 here we with the sixes again where he slaughters a pig. The comments he made there truly show who he is.

Bourdain is now trying to launch the Chelsea Market. With the kind of ill will he has in him don't think that will launch well. He is basically good at being a troubadour of the culinary variety as he narcissistically exists the bon vivant life. He seems to hop from place to place with a certain elan that others would envy but at the same time existing shallowly as maybe a Mariah Carey. The ultimate self-centered monster there.

Sorry snarky but you have to lighten the f*ck up and stop being such an a**hole all the time. Your life is beautiful stop being such an elitist a**hole already.
