Very nice — very nice indeed. I also did not know you were doing this …

Keep up the good work and thanks for the compliment on my latest Chesapeake Bay, Baltimore Oyster post.

Yep, as Bourdain has repeatedly said, he doesn’t miss the 14-hour days, but he does miss the camaraderie, the insular specialness of the kitchen, the adrenaline and pressure of cooking on the line.

I just saw A Cook’s Tour again last night on Food Network – now that I see the interior shots from the Les Halles kitchen again, I’m pretty sure Tony was expediting the other week, as well as cooking.

Bourdain was eager to come home to his wife and eight month-old daughter when I saw him on December 1st and deservedly so.

Still, there was the glint in his eyes that said on many levels, he still wished to prove he STILL has his chops, or for lack of a better phrase, “his kitchen cred.”

There is the fear when once one crosses those borders, (as the Rubicon), one can never return again.

Thanks for your article and revealing Bourdain is still a “hard-on” to be reckoned with in the kitchen.

Red Beans and Ricely Yours,

Wilmita

This blog is actually Lux’s – but, like Bourdain on Ruhlman’s blog, I “have a key to the blogging chamber” (!)

Wow Claudia. Not only did I not know you had a blog, you stun me with this entry. You lucky lucky lucky dog! (Said in the nice and envious way natch).

Best wishes!
