Anthony Bourdain

So it's my birthday this week... and Anthony Bourdain was here for a charity lunch thing. Em got us tickets, I took a day off work and we went to see him.

He was absolutely great - he's a lucky guy but very appreciative of that. He gave a nice talk about how he came to write Kitchen Confidential and about his travels with No Reservations.

I lined up with tons of other people and got his autograph - a bit sad but it was nice to meet him :-)


All in all a good way to spend a couple of hours!

Thanks Em

Happy Birthday Matt! That's so great you got meet Anthony Bordain, and I am glad he knows how lucky he is. I use to wish that I could meet him, sure he would want to invite me on his travels, but I have given up on that fantasy and will be content knowing you guys got to catch a glimpse of him.

I hope the rest of your birthday week is grand,
