I leave you on this slightly overcast Thursday (in NYC) with an old “We All Just Wanted Drinks, I Guess.”
While the post is very public (just click on the pic for the link), I decided to be polite and black out names.
Um, Ms. Russian Drag Queen? If Anthony Bourdain turns you down, this lady over here at SUF would love, love, love to tour your restaurant destinations.
My war on fast food | Anthony Bourdain | Life and style | The Guardian
A rambling, occasionally offensive extract that proclaims at the end that it is “edited” (to which I respond: Not well) from “Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine To The World of Food And The People Who Cook” by Anthony Bourdain. But it did make me laugh at points, and have some salient critiques at points.

Another highlight: ”Local” describing the restaurant, Primo, and the 10-course meal (and how he has to go to McD’s to get full). I’d rather chill with that dude and a beer. Oh, and of course Tony. He can come.
