You don’t have to know much about Anthony Bourdain to know he loves Melbourne. He was back earlier this year guided around town – and down to the Royal Mail Hotel – by Matt Preston, Tony Tan and Paul Wilson. Here are the Youtube clips from what was show recently in the US.
Part one: Paul Wilson while he was at the Half Moon in Brighton.
Part two: Playing Trugo with Matt Preston and kebabs on Sydney Rd
Part three: Sydney Rd with a rather hot looking Matt Preston and gnawing on meat at Rumi’s.
Part four: Dainty Szechaun with Tony Tan; Meets Dan Hunter at Royal Mail Hotel with Paul Wilson.
Part five: Chef’s BBQ at Siglo.
Perhaps I should also milk the archives. If you want more Anthony Bourdain, check out these stories here from when I interviewed him a few years back. Um, make that four years back:

I just love him. L-O-V-E him.
Hi Ed, did you read Lethlean’s article about being the ‘fixer’ for this episode of No Reservations? I did but now I can’t remember where it was published – any ideas?
Hi Ed
Thanks for the videos. Saw MrWilson had posted info on his Facebook page the other day saying that the episode had aired in US on Monday. Need to book in for Royal mail before we get inundated with tourists.
The Victoria Street, Vietnamese section was cut – but can be found in the Missing Scenes section:

Oops, ignore my question – found article (here http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/04/19/1050172798982.html) but it was from Bourdain’s previous visit in 2003.
Hello Ed,
That is so cool thank you for finding these vidoes of us & our fabulous town.
I hope you had fun last night

I just wonder if Bourdain has lost his raw edge, although he still is cool.
Thermomixer, thanks. great to see the missing scene.
Bec, really enjoyed it, perhaps too much wine. Nice to see Anthony too.
Just uploaded the pics here but should probably play with the exposure and redo as they are a bit dark.
Even if he has lost his raw edge he is still more entertaining to watch as a travel presenter than any Getaway presenter. Wish he loved Sydney.
I actually think I prefer him without the ‘raw edge’. I loved Kitchen Confidential, but the longer he kept that up the more it was going to seem like a contrived act for the cameras.
Ed,
BIG thanks for the Bourdain clips.
I’m a relatively new fan of his work.
On the downside, pining for Melbourne more than ever now.
Cheers.
Forager, I know what you mean about those getaway presenters – too “perky”.
Matt C,still good but not the bad boy.
TooYum, It’s cold and grey so you don’t have to miss Melbourne too much.
It surprises me that Matt Preston doesn’t know how to eat a kebab. While there is no single authoritative way to eat a kebab, one of the rules must be that you should never completely open up the wrapping.

LOL! Maybe he needs a special technique to protect his precious cravats
Anthony Bourdain is the best! I love his show– he makes me laugh. I did hear though, that he was a jerk to fans! True or false?
