He was always so disdainful and disrespectful of other cultures and it annoyed me no end.

???

This is not, I think, an accurate characterization of Anthony Bourdain. At all.

[(Anonymous)]

It’s what was shown in his shows. Talking over the locals he was taken to meet and learn from, glib condescending remarks made to the camera about how backwards or primitive or weird other cultures were, and refusing to use the appropriate utensils were all things I saw when trying to watch one of his shows. I think it was No Reservations, it played heavily on Sky 2016/2017ish. I love food and travel so kept trying to watch him, but he was the epitome of everything the world hates about American tourists.

He had a brusque manner and could be a sarcastic prick sometimes but I think he generally had a lot of respect for the cultures he was visiting. And he was honest about it. He was responding to the cultures sincerely.

Based on the below thread, it sounds like maybe he was as you describe in the early days. He sure as hell wasn’t when I tuned in the last couple years before he died. He wasn’t brusque or sometimes sarcastic, he was incredibly disdainful and disrespectful pretty much constantly. But the thread below explores much of that as well as possible reasons for it.

And all of that misses the point of the secret, that he wasn’t suited to the position. OP feels there is someone out there right now creating content who IS deserving of what Bourdain had.

If you contrast Bourdain with Andrew Zimmern or the Man Vs Food guy (totally drawing a blank on his name right now), there’s no question that two of those presenters approached every opportunity with eagerness, respect, and a willingness to learn. And one made snarky comments and literally pushed people out of his way when they were educating him and the audience.

To me, the Man Vs Food guy comes off as fake and corny. A lot of the more typical Food Network type personalities do. Bunch of car salesmen.

Maybe this is just a matter of taste, rather than Bourdain objectively being disrespectful or the Man vs Food guy objectively being fake and corny. Or maybe I'm right and you're wrong.
