What It Was Like to Eat with Anthony Bourdain
[[Laurie Woolever]] remembers traveling and eating with [[Anthony Bourdain]], describing moments that ranged from decadent to domestic. She recounts filming at [[Aqueduct Racetrack]] where they ate mass-produced [[Jamaican beef patties]] off wobbly plastic cups, an oddly perfect scene, and a swanky scavenger hunt for [[Dungeness crab]] with [[caviar]] and Champagne before a private jet departure. In Vietnam she chased a bowl of [[Bún bò Huế]] at a market counter, slurping broth alongside a local cook. In Japan he chased novelty canned coffee from a [[Shinkansen]] platform vending machine, and in Sri Lanka he led a crew rooftop feast after finding a nearby [[KFC]] following a long shoot at the [[Madai Festival]]. [[Woolever]] conveys his generosity, humor, and the permission to choose simple pleasure over spectacle.
