I think it is an intelligent observation. Bourdain's "joke" was eerie. In retrospect, it was disturbing how often Bourdain joked about suicide.@@ResidentRaccoon

"I'm a bundle of deeply held prejudices, morbid fears and apprehension..." Well said Chef, Well said. That sums up most of us and our lives if we are self-aware and introspective no? If you have not read his book Kitchen Confidential, I recommend it. If you will read one book in 2023, read this one.

I love how he describes food with both sexual and religious adjectives

In all the years I watched Mr. Bourdain's many cooking/traveling programs one thing I did notice from this episode and the many more he did on L. A. He loved L. A. Why because he realized it is not the tinsel town version, but with real everyday Joe's &, Jose's, being the most common. We are truly a beautiful melting pot of many wonderful flavors; steming from all parts of the world. It's wonderful, in one day you can delight in many of those simple complex flavors. Mr. Bourdain, Thank you for realizing that & showing it to the world.

If I had a nickel for every time Tony Shalhoub has made a surprise appearance in a popular food journalism series, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't that much, but it's weird that it happened twice. (the other one is an Eater video about an italian restaurant in NYC)

Bourdain is hilarious

The foreshadowing is downright spooky at 1:58

The fear of being lured. Hilarious.

Sauce maltise reference...best day ever!

Tony you missed The Apple Pan in this episode, but if I remember correctly you did go there. The best burger ever.

Legend❤

Man, if I ate a fraction of what Anthony did I'd be a little short fat blimp. I stay away from carbs and sugar these days and my appetite is so small I can't get through a full meal of anything, but I'd love to try small samples of everything he loved.

We miss you Anthony! RIP

Never noticed just how dark he was. That opening was rough.

This guy came to LA so cal and went to hot dog places????? What lmao. Gotta go get tacos and burritos man…. Or dinner.

Tony Shalhoub very cool. Big Night is the best foodie movie.

I'm sure it's already been noted somewhere in these comments, and I'm relatively sure it's intentional, but does anyone else get there being a roundabout air of "Californication" by RHCP during the song starting around 20:07? That's one of the things that I miss about this series. The somewhat obvious callbacks to popular hits of the day, and of decades past to somewhat heavy-handedly imply the pervading sensibility of a segment.
