Now - getting the world to watch.

Great, great post.

It showed Iranians as real people who aren't that different from us.

I just watched the No Reservations episode from Turkey and the food in the Middle East always makes me salivate. When Tony went back there on Parts Unknown the atmosphere was very different and noticeable. The local food guide was very nervous and paranoid since the more recent regime had changed a lot in between his visits. She was afraid to speak out in a public setting and was looking over her shoulder a lot.

"Anthony Bourdain considered the unwashed, roasted warthog rectum (colon) eaten in Namibia with the Bushmen for No Reservations as one of his worst meals ever, describing it as filled with "sand, crap, and fur". Despite the severe taste, smell, and resulting parasite, he ate it to show respect to his hosts."

I saw both episodes and I think I would have turned down both the shark and rectum.
