I kite tetahi i te waahanga a Anthony Bourdain mai i Baltimore i te po nei i runga i tana whakaaturanga, kaore he Whakatau ?
Ahakoa kaore ahau e kii ana i ahau ko te mate o Bourdain, ka whakahonore ahau ia ia, ka koa ki tana whakaaturanga (me tana tuhi). I etahi wa kaore ahau e kaha ki te pupuri i tana moni, engari mo te nuinga o nga korero ka whakawhiti atu ahau ki a ia me te whakanui i tana rererangi me te hiahia ki te wheako i nga ahurea rereke me nga pihikete. I te panui i te arotakenga o te whakaaturanga a Sun Zurawik blogger ko David Zurawik, i wehi ahau i te kino rawa atu.
Engari i muri i te tirohanga i te waa o te po o te po, ka whakairihia ko "The Rust Belt," ka whakaae au ki te korero a Zurawik mo te tango a Bourdain ki to taone pai, ka nui atu taku nama ki a ia.
Ko te mea nui, ka whakatata atu a Bourdain ki te waahanga na Baltimore, me era atu taone "Rust Belt" i haere mai, ko Buffalo me Detroit. Ka karangahia e ia a Baltimore f ***, ka whakahuahia te raruraru o tona wahanga. He pai katoa, he pai hoki, engari he peita i tetahi taone me taua whanui he pai tonu te paraihe. Ko te ahuareka o te raupapa TV nui, ko te Wire , he ahua nui o te whakaaro a Bourdain mo nga hua a Baltimore mai i te whakaaturanga me nga marama torutoru i mahi ia i konei i nga tau 80.
I muri i etahi atu keri me nga kiore, ka haere a Bourdain ki a Chaps Pit Beef me Jay Landsman, he kaiwhakaari ki te Wire , me Mo's Seafood me Felicia "Snoop" Pearson, he kaitono Wiremu hoki. Ka hurihia e ia tana haerenga kai ma te haerenga ki te Roost mo te kohu roto, te kata koha, me te toka me te tīhi (he ahuareka te katoa).
Ko te ahua o Bourdain i runga i Baltimore he mea tupu, a, i te mutunga, i whakaae ia ki tana iwi pai, ki te kai ahurei, ki te whakaaturanga toi whakaihiihi, kaore ano i te panui i ona raruraru.
Ka puta mai te taone me te ahua, te pai, te Baltimore, te kata me te katoa. Kaore he mahinga o te Roto Inner Harbour, ko Fort McHenry ranei, engari kaore i kitea e ratau?
I pai ano ahau ki te kite i te mahi a Bourdain ki tetahi atu mea ke atu i te keke karepe (kahore he tangata e pai ana ki te paraoa he nui atu i ahau, engari he nui te nui o nga wharekai me nga rihi i konei e tika ana kia puta ake i te atarangi maimoana). Ka awhina i te mea kaore te rangi e pupuhi ana, ka maamaha (he rite te hunga e tatari ana mo te kino rawa o te rangi kia pai ai nga whakaahua ki o raatau korero), engari na te mea.
Mena kua ngaro koe, ka tukuna e te kaupapa te Paapa i te 11 i te ahiahi i runga i te Travel Channel.
