Anthony Bourdain on how to Find Good Food Anywhere

Anthony Bourdain on how to Find Good Food Anywhere

Anthony Bourdain’s tip for finding good food wherever you’re headed: provoke the nerds.

The question at hand was how to find good restaurants, and his answer was to take the city you want to go to and just google up some restaurant names that serve the dish you’re after. Then got to chowhound or another foodie site, and rather than asking about restaurants, you put up an enthusiastic post talking about how you just had the best whatever you’re looking for at one of these restaurants.

At that point, the nerdfury will begin. Posters will show up from nowhere to shower you with disdain, tell you how that place used to be good but has now totally sold out and - most important to your quest - will tell you where you would have gone if you were not some sort of mouth breathing water buffalo.

Actually a damn fine idea and shows that Bourdain understands the internet. I’ve done similar things in my work. The best way to find a good program is post a glowing a review of one and wait for the angry users to tell you about their favorite (and it goes without saying, much better) alternative. I’ve never faked a review to provoke them since that would be unethical, but on site like Chow, hey, why not?
