Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I'm curious if he'll do pit beef during the Baltimore episode.

His blog post about Chicago suggests that beef is on the menu in Baltimore.

I sent a friend Bourdain's post about Chicago and she emailed me back that Ripert is going to have his own show on PBS!!

The same can be said for San Francisco.

You know, I love this place, but it is not a city like NY or Chicago. It doesn't even have a million people. Most of the city is houses, not buildings.

It doesn't even have a million people.

I think that's why Bourdain called it "a nice town." I've never been (really want to, though!), but from what I've seen and read, it's a coastal, more elegant town-like city than Milwaukee, which is another city I'd more likely call a "town." Milwaukee has a certain small-town atmosphere to it that contrasts sharply with Chicago.

Bourdain totally does pit beef in B'more. I'm not sure when the episode is airing though.

I sent a friend Bourdain's post about Chicago and she emailed me back that Ripert is going to have his own show on PBS!!

I was just coming here to post about that!

Oh weird! And now I can't get to it either...hmm...maybe because I copied from a link in Twitter?

I'll try to figure it out.
