Last night was a good night. Also the first time i heard the word food porn more then once. Baby bro is interested in the culinary world and enjoys celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain quite a bit. He thought he would never get a chance to see the guy in person but since he was in town for a sold out show, i decided to pick up tickets early.

Bourdain, known for his bad ass attitude and his decent cooking skills made his way in the cooking world out in NYC. After his first book his career took off in another direction and now hes widely known for his 5 season strong, No Reservations.

Ive never been to the State theater but it was a cool experience. Finally tapping into some of the historic places in the city that i have grown up in all my life. We started the night at the 112 Eatery to see Sara and Nancy who took good care of us. I heard the food was good but it was more then good, it was amazing!
The sweet and sour crab salad was perfect, the lamb sirloin with cherry sauce was cooked very well, all in all this is a must stop shop if you are ever in the area! Chef Isaac holds it down!
After dinner we hit the show for some ravishing stories from Bourdain on his life, travels and other shit that he does and does not care about. What i got from him was that he was a good man, humble, respects tradition and customs but doesn’t take any shit from anyone. Through out all that he’s been through, he still would rather sit at home with his lil daughter on a Saturday morning and watch Yo Gabba Gabba =)

He is very aware of the Vietnamese culture here and says we are lucky to have such a rich food section from them and to enjoy that. He might be a little bias since Vietnam is his favorite destination to play and eat but it was good that he noticed.
After the show we went for late night snacks at Palomino where we saw Andrew Zimmerman, a local who is network buddies with Bourdain show up to say wussup. It was cool being in the presence of the two together knowing that we enjoy them and their shows quite a bit.
Few drinks later, we found ourselves at the W. A bottle of champagne, a few more drinks and 15+ shots of patron later, my logan brothers and I were singing happy birthday off the balcony up in Prohibition and Yemi decided he wanted to ruin a bachlorette party…the night was good.
Great night and cant wait to do it again.
