Anthony Bourdain is going to retire to Vietnam for a year. He’ll turn 50 there and perhaps write another book.

That’s despite the fact that he says he has brought shame on his professional by turning to words. He must be joking. He also writes crime novels and loves reading them. He receives disturbing letters from convicts and chefs. All of his books are optioned by Hollywood. And there is talk of Brad Pitt playing Bourdain. But he hates the idea because Pitt “is too pretty”.

Shame. Gonna miss his sexy, funny, scrawny ass!

I heard he was signed for a 2nd season on Travel. So does that mean he still has to shoot it or was that done in the last four years…?
