After watching the latest one of Rick Stein's travel show, vietnam i think, i have lost a lot of respect for the guy... he does not try unusual things and have this caucasian attitude to eating things like bears, snakes or other cutesy animals, like dog, etc..... I can't see a person like that being adventurous... I suppose he was the predecessor of bourdain, so I must say when I was in canada, I respected a lot of his travels, cooking, recipes and perspectives. of course nowadays, i don't share the opinions and perspectives... so ..... can't see liking his show.. he is just some stuffy brit with a high and mighty supercilious attitude... and everything is 'just so good and delicious' only if it fits in with his idea of what is good and tasty.... crap......
'the thai people are so small!' and comments like that make me dislike this guy even more..... and that 'pho' is the national dish of vietnam shows how little he understands the local cultures..... i thought he was a new yorker, but guess he is a brit... and so anachronistic and racist, narrow in perspective, ... chef wan was on his show on thailand as well... lol... he was also on a bourdain show.... i would have to question his motives.....
he stayed/cooked at the majestic hotel, where we were.... lol.... with chef wan who basically ran all over his stuffy style.... shame..... stodgy and unable to laugh at himself... vs tony bourdain who may be because he is american, has a much lighter view of life.... humor and laughter is still the best way to go.... takes himself too seriously.... represents everything i hate about life..... wow that is quite a condemnation... i should lighten it up.... lol .....
