I love Anthony Bourdain. :) His show is one of my favorites. I feel the same way about food. Idealistically I could be a vegetarian, but when it comes down to it I enjoy food way too much. Although I don't share his love for veal or organs. I have tried both because I will try anything once (just to see what I'm missing), but I have never been impressed with either.

I've always been suspicious of people who don't hav a love affair with food (like vegans). Maybe that's why I've never gotten along with my in-laws. They see food as a way to get full. I see it as a way to connect with people and enjoy life. My family life growing up was centered around a busy kitchen with a mom that was always trying to stuff good food down me.
