Bourdain Visits Latin America

Posted by Timothy Dzurilla May 13, 2008

I recently flew back from Cuba (sorry for the lapse in material, but the nation has very little eternal modes of communication including internet) and caught on the plane an article of one of my favorite food adventurers, Anthony Bourdain, and his journies through South American. Here are some of the highlights of the interview and things to look for while you travel:

"Since you travel to many cities and eat all sorts of dishes, do you get sick often?"

Bourdain: I have only been sick twice: once in France (which is funny because that is the food I generally have at home) and another time in Namibia, where I already knew I would get sick. But, in general, I believe that whenever there is a queue of people, it is impossible for me to be the one to get sick, since the job of the people around the world is not to poison others, but rather give them pleasure in their dishes."

To be completely honest, I wasn't impressed with the rest of the article on the Copa Airlines flight with chef Bourdain, but these are good words to live by when traveling.
