On the New York City edition of “No Reservations,” Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern visit Ali El Sayed’s famous Kabab Cafe on Steinway Street in Astoria, Queens, for a meal of sweetbreads, a puff at the hookah, and some chat about food and world politics. Ali upstages both of them and demonstrates why he’s known as the “Mayor of Astoria.”

Guy Fieri is so much cooler than Anthony Bourdain. His new gameshow Minute To Win It on NBC is awesome. Boringdain could never do that!

It’s going to be difficult to continue abstaining from shisha when I move to the Middle East.
I don’t like how Zimmern exoticises cultures but he is still a pro in terms of entertainment.

@sterling729 yeah i would have to read more about him..
I was just saying in my opinion..because what i see on TV..you know?..I said i really don’t know him personally or do i know more about him..just some of his episodes he really comes off as pretentious..
well that’s just me..don’t get me wrong i love his show..it’s really entertaining..
May 17th, 2010 at 8:12 am
Umm, sort of. I …
Umm, sort of. I wrote a couple papers on him for English after reading his biographies at Uni. He’s more of a badass character, not really arrogant. Lot’s of times, he jokes and makes fun of people, ESPECIALLY himself. Overall, he really presents his opinions and isn’t afraid to do so which makes him interesting to watch. In his biography, there’s lots of humbling cases rather than arrogant ones.

Why..(i’m just …
Why..(i’m just expressing my opinion)..is Anthony (especially on the UK episode)..does he seem pedantic and grandiloquent?…he just comes off like that….a good chef and good TV personality..but he just gives off a pompous or pretentious attitude…well that’s just me…i only see what’s showed to me on the TV ..so i really don’t know him personally…
