Also, just downloaded this one too.

Countless cafes and food stands and restaurants around there. Could be anything.

I’m about halfway thru Medium Raw right now. Thanks for the recommendation, Joe. I absolutely love his writing style. It’s like just sitting there listening to him tell stories.

Last two seasons of No Reservations are on Hulu. We've been enjoying going back through these episodes.

Yes! Oh good, I'm so glad you're reading it and enjoying it. That one, more than any other, really does feel -- as you say -- like sitting and listening to him tell stories. And what great stories! It's high time I re-read that book.

Looked like Jorge took credit for it.
Also, I also have a "St. Bourdain" candle. I don't know if I'll ever actually burn it. But I'm thinking about doing so tonight. The wife and I are also thinking about polishing off the last of the Pappy 15 we have in honor of Tony tonight. Seems like the proper occasion to finally finish that bottle.

Most recent I can find are selected episodes from the last few seasons of parts unknown, on the CNN app
Yeah this is really annoying. We had to watch two different episodes of parts unknown on tyo different platforms. And a third we wanted to watch required an extra $2.99

I think all of Parts Unknown is on HBO Max, if you have that. But, yeah, everything else is so scattered. But that's what happens when you have so many different producing partners/networks/etc.

you mean HBO Now? i'm asking because HBO Now disappeared from AppleTV, but my HBONow account automatically converted into HBOMax, but i can only access it through iOS devices, to then AirPlay.
