Some University needs to just give Anthony Bordain a PhD in Culinary Anthroplogy.

Not an honorary one, a straight up degree.
I wish I had lived my life half as well as this man.

Including the dark heroin/methadone years?

I know you weren't asking me, but:

Speaking from experience, as long as you come out the other end of it, yeah. It wasn't heroin and methadone for me, but I was definitely out of control with a cocktail of drugs when I was younger. I got lucky and walked away with my life and my freedom.

Those experiences, living in that darkness, have made me who I am. It sprung me into and around the world and pushed my life down a much more exciting and unconventional path. Specifically, it gave me the ability to feel comfortable around unsavory people, to have a sharper more focused mind in dangerous situations, to not turn down an experience out of prudishness, to know my limits, and to have a dark sense of humor which can get me out of a lot of tight squeezes.

I believe it is these qualities that also empower Bourdain to be Bourdain at this stage in his life. Now, I just need to figure out how to make a lot more money and parlay my experience into getting someone to pay me to travel so that I can enjoy my 50s as much as he seems to be.

Bourdain is great .i have this guys show on my DVR....

Too much exposition.
