There's a posthumous Bourdain segment in this new LSD thing on Netflix.

He tells a story about pulling a Hunter S. Thompson and doing a bunch of drugs with his buddy and some hitchhikers, it's reenacted by the guys from Workaholics, it's pretty funny.

To be fair, did Bourdain ever actually have a bad episode of any of his series? I don't think so.

Yeah the later episodes are less than great. There's a certain mania to them too. The one in southern Italy with Asia is awful.

Fair, the Uruguay one rules. I didn't love the BA one, too much time spent dwelling on the "Argentina loves psychoanalysis" bit.

I'm trying to remember now, where was the ep shot? I mostly remember the scenes near Aeroparque Newberry. I'll also note that I watched that one after living in BA/surroundings for a year, so part of my disappointment was that every minute on the couch was a minute not spent seeing the city I missed.
