Which AB Travel Show Do You Prefer?

August 17, 2007

Chefs with travel shows seem to be quite the rage these days. Right now there's both Anthony Bourdain with No Reservations and Alton Brown with Feasting on Asphalt. I love both of them for different reasons, but it makes me wonder which AB do you prefer?

I used to really like Anthony Bourdain, but he's become more preachy than snarky lately. I hate hearing his sermon every Monday, but once that's over, the show is fine. I also like Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmern.

I enjoy both ABs and their respective shows. I'd love to hang out with Anthony, anywhere in the world. But I'd rather MARRY Alton. :)

I love Alton! Anthony Bourdain kinda freaks me out. I've watched his show but he's just so over the top; and he's always yelling

I love Good Eats - Alton Brown is so funny!

I love Alton Brown.

Alton because he told a southern lady that he used to enjoy making biscuits with his late grandmother, and that he was upset that she's dead because she owed him money.

Bourdain's wit makes him more appealing to me. That, and the fact that his locations are more exotic.

My heart says Bourdain, but I do appreciate some Alton.

Alton is so much more laid back, in my opinion. i have a little crush on him too!! plus, he cooks amazing stuff AND teaches you at the same time (well, on Good Eats, his other show!) who doesn't love that??

I've only seen Feasting on Asphalt, so I suppose I can't REALLY say. I love how he's doing the Mississippi Run (fam's from Missouri/Iowa, so I can't wait to see where he stops)! I wish Alton would do a Feasting-through-Maryland-Suburbia (hahaha), because I would totally show up wherever he was. In a totally non-stalkerish manner. This comment got waaaay off on a tangent.

yeah if you go with bourdain you get a touch of the exotic. i was torn between the two but i'd much rather eat with Bourdain! he knows what real quality is and maybe we'd be eating street food in asia but whatever it is it'llbe goood

Anthony. I would rather have Alton to dinner. I would rather hang out with Alton. I would rather ask Alton questions. I love Alton's regular show. But his travel show just isn't as good as Anthony's.
