If you’re going to LA you need to find a random street hot dog vendor and get the classic LA dirty dog w/ grilled onions and peppers bacon wrapped. It’s the best
whatya talkin bout they practically put everything but the kitchen sink in those dogs he had, all he had to do was tell them give me a dirty dog and they would do the same
His prediction of his death was spookily close. Except a few details, and in France. RIP to this legend! I wish he was still around. I am blessed I have not watched every single one of his shows yet
am currently binge watching cooks tour then parts unkown and no reservations, think i almost seen all his cooks tour episodes and some from the other shows but its been so long im enjoying the ride
IT WAS A BIT! Golly... anytime the guy talks about death, some pseudo intellect is going to cherry pick the low-hanging fruit like they've made some genius connection..as soon as I saw the intro , I knew I'd only have to go about 2 comments down to find this comment
I think it is an intelligent observation. Bourdain's "joke" was eerie. In retrospect, it was disturbing how often Bourdain joked about suicide.@@ResidentRaccoon
"I'm a bundle of deeply held prejudices, morbid fears and apprehension..." Well said Chef, Well said. That sums up most of us and our lives if we are self-aware and introspective no? If you have not read his book Kitchen Confidential, I recommend it. If you will read one book in 2023, read this one.
In all the years I watched Mr. Bourdain's many cooking/traveling programs one thing I did notice from this episode and the many more he did on L. A. He loved L. A. Why because he realized it is not the tinsel town version, but with real everyday Joe's &, Jose's, being the most common. We are truly a beautiful melting pot of many wonderful flavors; steming from all parts of the world. It's wonderful, in one day you can delight in many of those simple complex flavors. Mr. Bourdain, Thank you for realizing that & showing it to the world.
Watching them shopping, I have the urge to go there right away and trace his footsteps until I can experience every bite! I would LOVE to go there!! Problem is, I live here. But it isn't THERE. Can't go back in time, even though I was transported for 20 minutes. Thanks Anthony--we miss you, Big Guy! Apparently, more than you could have imagined. 😞😓
How sad it must be not die in the land you love in your city new York ❤ 😔😔 i don't really understand how can you make that decision to take your own life so sad rest in peace Anthony bourdain 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
i love cooking and never really knew who AB was growing up, watching these so many years later it makes so much sense why he was respected and forever holds a legendary name.
I know I was thinking the same. But you see how he said that the industry sales him a dream and turns out to be a nightmare then you go into a dark place. Wow
Looking back on this series, really seeing the morbidity of his perspective of life. Appreciative of that perspective though. People really need to talk about the poetry of death as much as they do about life.
I had a dream in which i was at an overlook and the crew from No Reservations stopped to see as well. We looked out over the city and barely recognized it through the murk. Not too much later Bourdain died. Everything still feels unresolved
I can’t watch it. I miss him so much. We are all real people out here and we loved him. He was the walking embodiment of cool and dangerously sexy. I miss his no holds barred insightful comments.
They do have amazing doughnuts in LA, omg I miss the little mom and pop shops too. I don’t get why people say LA doesn’t have a decent food culture? It’s got everything and so many different amazing places! I still think about some of the food I had there, and it’s been over a decade!
If I had a nickel for every time Tony Shalhoub has made a surprise appearance in a popular food journalism series, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't that much, but it's weird that it happened twice. (the other one is an Eater video about an italian restaurant in NYC)
As a native Angeleno I can say that we've embraced simplicity in hot dogs ages ago. Nobody here messes w avocado on a hotdog outside of copycat South American style hotdog. Not that there's anything wrong with that
Man, if I ate a fraction of what Anthony did I'd be a little short fat blimp. I stay away from carbs and sugar these days and my appetite is so small I can't get through a full meal of anything, but I'd love to try small samples of everything he loved.
I'm sure it's already been noted somewhere in these comments, and I'm relatively sure it's intentional, but does anyone else get there being a roundabout air of "Californication" by RHCP during the song starting around 20:07? That's one of the things that I miss about this series. The somewhat obvious callbacks to popular hits of the day, and of decades past to somewhat heavy-handedly imply the pervading sensibility of a segment.
It's hard to listen to the intro monologue now...this may sound like a bit of a stretch, but it's like he kinda knew that f*cking around with actresses (aka narcissists) will never end well. When he said the part about being found dead in a hotel room...too eerie. Love you, Bourdain.
Godamn did he predict his own death when he succumb to Hollywood by dating “that woman” Who accused people of being sexual predators, why her self being caught as one, and that’s why Anthony maybe made his decision Edit: I love Anthony with all my heart he actually went to my Hometown Inn Louisiana called Poche bridge (my last name is Poche). Instead of going to my uncles/families restaurant, he went to this old ladies restaurant that was in her house, he truly got the Cajun experience
Couple minutes in and my man got robbed of the authentic Los Angeles hot dog experience. Should have waited till 2 in the morning, stumbling drunk out of the club, and got a street dog prepared for him by one of the many street vendors prowling about. Anyway rip man
OH YEAH!! ROSCOE AT 2:55!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THAT PLACE!! TOO BAD THEY DON'T HAVE ONE IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA!! I THINK IT WOULD DO VERY, VERY WELL. THEY NEED A GOOD FRIED CHICKEN PLACE THERE!!! 😋😋
Hey, I'm in the same boat. Just think about how it made you stinky and unsociable. It just isn't cool to be a smoker anymore and the buzz just doesn't seem fun anymore once you've been off for a year.

Jesus, Dude. I binge watch old AB videos at least once a year and it never ceases to amaze me how utterly awesome he is. RIP you crazy bastard.
lol same
well said Man
Me too

I love how he hams up the NY accent once he’s in enemy territory
RIP, Tony. Never realized how much I appreciated you until you were gone.
I been marathoning for a month omg RIP
@@luisramonmanzano RIP to Mark Peel as well. I can't believe both men in this episode passed away.

Kitchen Confidential is a great book. Thanks for watching, Rivet!
I love how he describes food with both sexual and religious adjectives

Odd he speaks about dying in his hotel restroom. A lot of foreshadowing now that we have the luxury of hindsight.
Was thinking the same thing..
This series was filmed in 2001, I seriously doubt he spent the next 16 years thinking about offing himself before doing it.....
noticed that too..
Noticed that
@I C oh so Tony foresaw that his gold digger was going to be cheating or leaving him for a younger guy?
I miss you Tony... you were a gift to humanity.
It’s weird to watch a travel doc from 20 years ago when you lived there at that time. It’s utterly unrecognizable and familiar at the same time.
I felt the same way also
I lived in “L.A.” for 25 years still miss the place . . . been 35 years since I moved away. 😑😘
“I regret I only have one life to give to my network”-a comment made in jest in 2000, takes on so much more meaning when we know he’s gone
The thing about Oki-dog is that you can limp over there, with a pocket full of nickels and lint. They'll figure out a way to feed you (off menu).
@-B it was an iconic hangout in the early LA punk scene for a reason
Yummy
in an otherwise gentrifying west hollywood, oki dog stays the same and the people that patronize it do too
One name...Henry Rollins.
I've never been there before. Next trip to LA, that's happening. Seems weird and I love that.
I love this man..So interesting..Every second he keeps your attention peaked..He was an original..We miss you Mr Bourdain x
very much so. No one like him
Piqued not peaked
1:55 It's exactly how it happened! Except that he died in Paris, France. How sad. So, so sad! May he rest in peace! 🌺
@@helpfulcommenter You're right. He died in Kaysersberg-Vignoble, France.
How sad it must be not die in the land you love in your city new York ❤ 😔😔 i don't really understand how can you make that decision to take your own life so sad rest in peace Anthony bourdain 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Sorely missed. I love his work and outlook on different cuisines and cultures.
i love cooking and never really knew who AB was growing up, watching these so many years later it makes so much sense why he was respected and forever holds a legendary name.
What a legend ..I pray he found the peace he couldn't find in life...
I doubt there was much peace in hanging himself.
@@donjuan8914 You'd be surprised
@@elgrancamaron tell us deathguru
I think he has
Pretty spooky the intro to this is how his life did turn out. RIP Anthony rest btother!
I know I was thinking the same. But you see how he said that the industry sales him a dream and turns out to be a nightmare then you go into a dark place. Wow
Legends don’t die, they rest
like a good steak
I like Bourdain as a chef more than as a world traveler. The kitchen inspired his best writing.
You had visions about your death so many years ago. what a sad loss to the world and not just foodis world
May you rest in Peace
Looking back on this series, really seeing the morbidity of his perspective of life. Appreciative of that perspective though. People really need to talk about the poetry of death as much as they do about life.
I think it’s influenced further by how much he loathes LA haha
Yup! Read the Cook’s tour book..deep glimpse as well
Actually he is describing LA, thats a strange place...
Have you watched any of the Parts Unknown series? Most are just sad. Not like the real Tony that you see throughout No Reservations.
So he’s a New York suicidal?
My favorite story teller .... miss him .... RIP
I had a dream in which i was at an overlook and the crew from No Reservations stopped to see as well. We looked out over the city and barely recognized it through the murk. Not too much later Bourdain died. Everything still feels unresolved
Thank you for posting these episodes! So fun to watch again and introduce other people to them.
The dude can WRITE and he's the Full Monty .. the whole natural package.. to begin with.🙉💪🙏
Fantastic flashback series. Thanks for reposting these episodes
Yeah We miss you Tony, writing from Los Angeles
This made me feel like I’m watching “Spike Spiegel” on a food quest in L.A in an episode of Cowboy Bebop 😄
This is hilariously accurate and so glad I wasn't alone in this thought.
In our hearts
Forever
Tony Shalhoub very cool. Big Night is the best foodie movie.
I can’t watch it. I miss him so much. We are all real people out here and we loved him. He was the walking embodiment of cool and dangerously sexy. I miss his no holds barred insightful comments.
Oh my god get over it snowflake
A Cooks Tour was the best series

Totally agree! Here's some good spots: www.discoverlosangeles.com/eat-drink/the-best-donuts-in-los-angeles
I miss him so much
My only gripe with this is that even though he claims it Los Angeles, he bare scratched the surface.
Says at start hes not the right man
Just have to love Anthony calling everything at the farmers market “sexy”. He truly loved food so so much.
Love the way tiny smokes with no care
Still a hero to me in my culinary career. ❤
Career? LoL
Tail of the pup was the best hot dog store i the world. Can’t believe it closed and Pinks stayed open.
"I have nothing to lose". He was sending a message
best intro of any episode
Bourdain and Shaloub! In the same room!? Yes, please.
RIP Anthony Bourdain and Mark Peel. I can't believe both men are no longer with us.
He missed the Weiner Factory in the valley. Loved that place.
Me dolió verlo en la escena del hotel..no sabes cuánto te queríamos 😢😢!

I'm sad he didn't get to try an LA-dog from the senoras who sell them outside clubs and shows :(
They’re nasty 🤮
@@aldossnow3703 someone doesn’t get out much xP
@@anaisl3515 wtf does that even mean ? Whenever my friends those disgusting hot dogs they get sick. So dirty
@@aldossnow3703 you smells like nickels bruh

As a native Angeleno I can say that we've embraced simplicity in hot dogs ages ago. Nobody here messes w avocado on a hotdog outside of copycat South American style hotdog. Not that there's anything wrong with that
Or just head for the old ladies on the street corners with their bacon wrapped hot dogs.
In my opinion the Best hot dogs 🌭 in Tijuana & the Sonoran Desert 🌵 dogos in Mexico 🇲🇽 better to the NY or Chicago dogs
Dodger Dog, mustard and onions for me.
thank you for these i love Anthony so much, RIP
My dad was a chef miss him n you Mr Bourdain❤
Y o y did u leave us! Love and light Anthony Bourdain 🙏🏽💕
The foreshadowing is downright spooky at 1:58
Watching cuz I miss his show
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy.
Well, now I’m looking up the blood orange hollandaise cuz I love both of those
Man, if I ate a fraction of what Anthony did I'd be a little short fat blimp. I stay away from carbs and sugar these days and my appetite is so small I can't get through a full meal of anything, but I'd love to try small samples of everything he loved.
Thanks once again good sir!!! I thanketh you for your great deeds
> “I’ll have my next hot dog free of any adulterants”

18:00 a wild Jonathan Gold appears! RIP to the great critic and Pulitzer winner.
nice
Sauce maltise reference...best day ever!
We all miss you Tony✊
So sad to see this now. He is a legend and a predictor of his sad future. RIP!
Don’t know how he spent all that time in LA looking for good food but didn’t visit one Hispanic restaurant or taqueria
May be el Gallo Giro or there’s many choices of good food in SAN Pedro
He does on his other shows. One of the great things about him having so many programs
After that grand blowout In
Puebla who would want Next
Best??
@@victoriaredsky3859 original is always better, local taste
If I'm in a different city I always go for ethnic food and Mexican 🌮 is my favorite.
california does hot dogs better than nyc. those mexican street cart dogs wrapped in bacon are heaven. im from cali and live in nyc so i would know
Exactly I tried NY or Chicago dogs and In my opinion in TJ & the Sonoran Desert 🌵 Mexico 🇲🇽 Dogos the best .
Man....miss him.

Could watch this guy all day. Miss him.
This guy came to LA so cal and went to hot dog places????? What lmao. Gotta go get tacos and burritos man…. Or dinner.
I love you Anthony.
Tony you missed The Apple Pan in this episode, but if I remember correctly you did go there. The best burger ever.
When he called the fruits and vegetables sexy lol
love this man
We miss you Anthony! RIP
I own an exact 68 mustang convertible same color, engine, black interior that he's driving. 😁
New episode! Thanks!
I love this episode
Dope fiend on a mission. You wish you had a fraction of this dude's zeal.
Bourdain is hilarious
The fear of being lured. Hilarious.
Anthony Bourdain used food to bridge divides between people and cultures, teaching us all about humanity. There are no more shows like this. RIP.
Godamn did he predict his own death when he succumb to Hollywood by dating “that woman” Who accused people of being sexual predators, why her self being caught as one, and that’s why Anthony maybe made his decision

Never noticed just how dark he was. That opening was rough.
Seems like he saw it coming.
He's about as morbid and sarcastic as any other cook I've seen his age.

how did he come to LA and not eat mexican food
Exactly! LA Mexican food is the absolute best!
This was in the early 2000s, not saying the mexican food scene wasnt there but it wasnt hyped the way it is today.
Wasn’t popular back then.
If you look in the kitchen of most restaurants it’s all “Mexican” food. They are some of the most experienced chefs in all kinds of countries food
Watching his show makes me want a cigarette, I'm past one year. Dammit...
Hey, I'm in the same boat. Just think about how it made you stinky and unsociable. It just isn't cool to be a smoker anymore and the buzz just doesn't seem fun anymore once you've been off for a year.
@@RemnantCult I like being stingy snd unsociable. Puff, puff
Lettuce on a Hot Dog isn't right at all!!
Chili Cheese Dog!! Oh Yeah!! 😋
troublingly crunchy is my new standard
LOL! TONY TAKES OUT THAT THICK SLICE OF TOMATO!! SO FUNNY!! 😂
id say the ultimate western style hotdog is grilled, bacon wrapped. of course with everything on it besides the chili.
He lived a rich and interesting life. thanks for sharing!
Remember the good old day when you could get a great hot dog w/ a several toppings that aren't condiments, add bacon, and only be charged $4.99?
A variation of "Guacamole Hotdog" is actually the most eaten fast food item in Chile: The "Completo".
Legend❤
