>look at that kid playing in the dirt, free of possessions because he lives in abject poverty. this pairs well with the meal that man prepared with is bare hands>alright gang, we're here in rochester new york and we're gonna try the bacon wrapped burger deep fried ooh baby this is flavortownIt's clear why one was more beloved.
>>219460598 One sells you a fantasy where every bite is a near-death experience for your arteries and the other sells you a fantasy where suffering has artisanal lighting and a soft jazz soundtrack.It’s not about the food, it’s about projection. One guy is your uncle who just discovered hot sauce exists. The other whispers about “the poetry of the human condition” while chain-smoking off-camera. People don’t actually want nuance with their dinner, they want a mascot. Flavortown is easier to digest than existential dread with noodles.
>>219460635I’m a bizarre foods guy
>>219460598>Guy is about being rad and kicking ass with flavor and eating Americana cuisine, going all out>Bourdain tried to pay off the kid that fucked his girlfriend???>>219460698Acceptable
>>219460598one guy is down to earth and the other is an asshole
>anthony bourdain thinks this is beautiful
>>219460598Bourdain>Global culinary icon>An intellect for intellectuals>Touched people's lives>Helped popularise the sardonic style of travel showFieri>Fat retard for Americans >Unknown outside of America except for a shitty meme>Contractually obligated to try and make American food sound good (it's not)
>>219460598>Implying Rochester New York isn't abject poverty Their premiere dish is something they call a "garbage plate" and it's the only thing they eat. Bourdain would have creamed himself at the misery of abandoned strip malls, shattered windows, and listless peasants wandering uselessly through graffitied-up thoroughfares. Upstate New York is pure ass anywhere between the Hudson Valley, and like, Saranac lake. I guess the Adirondacks are really nice but that's specifically because they're unsettled.

>>219460598Americans deeply exaggerate Bourdain's global reach. Insane muttoids like >>219461259 this guy for some reason think that he was known outside of USA and handful of its satellites. Most of Europe didn't give a fuck about him, let alone Asia.At least Fieri is known around the internet because of shitty memes, YTPs and reruns of his show through syndication on cringe-inducing networks.
>>219460740The fantasy of eating anything that moves like an animal in nature
>>219462491>Being 'known' is the epitome of successThis is why zoomers have such god awful taste and no one gives a fuck what europeans think.
Eat at a chain restaurant tonight. Get the ketchup. Have a warm beer at 8 o'clock in a crowded club. Go somewhere you've always been. Ignore someone you have everything in common with. Order the steak well done. Eat a scallop. Don't have a negroni, not even two. Be closed off to a world you already understand or disagree with the person far away from you, don't have a drink with them either. Eat quickly. Dine and dash your server. Ignore your friends. Ignore yourself. Get off the ride.
>>2194625861. That's exactly the metric that the retard above have used2. Bourdain himself held European cultures in high regard3. I wasn't talking about Europe exclusively4. Your attempts to appeal to age illustrate your insecurities5. I'm older than you6. Your mutt empire is dying, you're slowly becoming Russia7. Kill yourself, niggerSeven-Eleven your ass, motherfucker!
>>219461259I've been watching a bunch of DDD videos recently, and Fieri mogs Bourdain so fucking hard. Fuck some try-hard wannabe traveler who had gangs of fixers hooking him up with blow and hookers while he fellated 3rd world cultures he knew nothing about. Gimme Guy driving around the US visiting independent shops.
>At other points during the therapy session Bourdain describes himself as feeling “like a freak”, “very isolated”, characterizes his grueling, peripatetic lifestyle as “crushing lonely”, and recounts how easily something as insignificant as a bad hamburger at an airport can send him “into a spiral of depression that can last for days.” Toward the end of the session, when the therapist returns to her opening question “what brought you here? “, he responds “I'd like to be happy. I'd like to be happier. I should be happy ... I'd like to be able to look out the window and say, 'Yeah, life is good.' When the therapist asks “... and you don't ?,” he answers with a simple, reflexive “No”. He also confides to the therapist that he attributes his problems to a narcissistic personality disorder. And when the therapist asks how long he has had this trait, he says “I think always. So nothing to be done."
