Marcus talking about what legacy he wanted to leave, and at one point he said he wanted people to say he was a good emergency contact. i loved that. he's probably my favorite character of the whole series.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

My assumption is that the series will end with carmy making a clean break with his control issues, and working in some decidedly proletariat segment of the food scene.

TV audiences -- and critics, especially -- just don't work that way. There was no way this wasn't gonna have a backlash.

So what is broken here, does all entertainment basically have to be disposable to hit any type of mark?

If this doesn't have a Bourdain philosophy friendly ending I'm gonna be shocked.

I don't know much about Bourdain, but it seems to me he'd prefer to just get one of their beef sandwiches from the window, than have a sit down meal in the restaurant...
