Fish on Sunday is iffy. Fish on Monday is out, he says, because it almost certainly was delivered Friday or Saturday. Exceptions, of course, are high-volume seafood restaurants with true daily delivery.
Seriously, if you're squeamish or just prefer to think of restaurant kitchens as palaces of fine cuisine and behavior (they're not, I can vouch) don't read "Kitchen Confidential."
For everyone else, it's hilarious (and dab on with my experiences in the restaurant world.)

I enjoyed the show on Paris, it was cool to see some obscure places that aren't listed as "must sees" while in Paris. The "absinthe experience" in the hotel room was kind of cheesy though. I would watch it again if he goes to a place I'd like to see. New Jersey????

So far I have only caught the Iceland and tonight's New Jersey episodes. I like his humor and his irreverence, it is refreshing in this PC world of LA. I think he would be a hoot to hang out with once in a while.

Seaurchin - Ssndi travelnut - Maybe you can catch some of the shows you missed on the reruns. Here is the August schedule.

I couldn't even find the channel on my cable lineup. As usualy there was no newspaper listing. The newspaper used to have a chart showing where to find various channels in the lineup of various local cable services. No more. and he cabel co. no longer mails out this secret info. I think I have figured it now now, though, so if I remember, I may watch next week. I'm curious because people seem to have such very different reactions to him.

Well I have Comcast and we get the Travel Channel but I don't as my wonderful TV's are older and Comcast put the Travel Channel, as well as H&G, on such a high channel number I cannot receive them on my TV's. Guess one of these days I should replace my TV's but since I hardly watch TV I haven't.

I LOVE Tony and he and ThinGorjus are two people I would love to hang out with, well maybe not together. But did anyone know that Tony is also an accomplished mystery novelist? His novels include Bone in the Throat, Gone Bamboo and The Bobby Gold Stories.
