Above the fray.
They tried Carlton McCoy


and Stanley Tucci

Why not try a Mexican American celeb? Seems to make business sense.

I read that book from last year Down & Out In Paradise, which contained a lot about Bourdain's last days, and it was pretty bleak.

He got addicted to the CNN show lifestyle, and wrecked himself with food, alcohol, travel, isolation, and yes falling unhealthily in love with Asa Argento.

They have and Netflix tried it with somebody feed Phil too. That shyt was so boring and he was being so extra. That’s the hot ticket right now, traveling eating drinking chopping it up with people as a “job”. Don’t get no better.

"Will Travel for Food" Dudes are a big on on Youtube.

Mark Wiens, Mikey Chen, Luke Martin, etc. I'm subscribed to a grip of em. 5 in Vietnam alone.

These guys are not nearly as interesting as Bourdain. And none of them can touch politics/economics/culture and keep traveling safely in these spots.

Mark Wiens has never reacted negatively towards a dish, never delves into the history of the places he’s going to, nothing. I dunno how he’s doing these numbers.
