His show was the only worthwhile thing I've ever seen on CNN.

I'm not surprised he's gone, but despite his problems I enjoyed his work.

Their Mind-boggling place on this one is Laredo Taco Company inside a Valero.....

The barbacoa there is legit

It is. And the tacos are pretty good. But I would never pretend like I found some honey hole because it's in a gas station. It's a chain restaurant literally all over Texas.

Weird then that I've never heard of it.... since it is "literally" all over Texas.

If you want to get into a pissing match about the word "literally", you won't win here, bud. There's over 450 location in Texas alone (including 5 within 20 miles of me right now), and they've now started to expand outside Texas, including Pittsburgh and Nashville.

15 mins will be spent on liberal talking points about borders, the seperation of patents and kids and how undocumented (illegal!) immigrants are good for our country.

I've always been a Bourdain fan but the last two seasons of his show have been overly politicized.

Well, I should have known where the thread would turn. I swear 90% of TA threads get turned into politics.

I agree, and it's unfortunate, but it seems like everything in life over the past 2 years has become overly politicized. You couldn't have a conversation on here these days about drinking a glass of water without it turning into how polluted the oceans are.

I've always like Bourdain, so I usually look past the political aspect of the show and salivate at the food, drink and beauty of the sites they visit.

Jesus, you're a sensitive type aren't you? This wasn't even meant as a trying to be confrontational towards you.

But I guess you can literally take it that way now...... Bud

have you ever watched bourdain's show(s)?

despite his political leanings i absolutely love his show, but to act like that post was out of left field when discussing bourdain is comical on your part.

Gotta get out west farther than midland soon... alpine/marathon/big bend have me hankerin
