Day 6: Bourdain's Companion

Topic: Anthony Bourdain gets to gallivant around the world indulging in a culinary map of marvels as we suckers sit home, salivating over some rare delicacy, or dry heaving over an even rarer delicacy. If you could go anywhere in the world with Mr. Bourdain, chef and booze-hound extraordinaire, where would you go, and which foods would you absolutely have to try? Pretend that this is a pitch to get him to pick you out of thousands of people, and really sell your idea. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, get out from under your rock, and go to travelchannel.com.

I'm no good at selling myself and I'm well aware of it. So, I'm not going to try. Let me just say, Mr. Bourdain, if you would like to take me with you to a foreign country to try new foods, cultures, sites, experiences... I pick Italy. I have always wanted to see Rome and Venice. And really, I've never met a bowl of pasta/plate of cheese/bottle of wine/baguette that I didn't become very good friends with in a very short time. All I'm saying is, if there's a free ride and good pasta to be had, sign me up.
