“Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” – Collection Four (2009), Discovery Channel
Ingredients: Anthony Bourdain, interesting food porn, colorful commentary and gorgeous scenery
Dice DVD into 16 awesome episodes of Bourdain irascibility and humorously sardonic observations. Enjoy lanky, cantakerous Bourdain as he gorges himself on N’awlins cooking, jumps back on the line at his old NY spot Les Halles, and partakes in the classic Japan Kaiseki meal in Tokyo. Place Bourdain in his element and know the man is not afraid to eat anything, including raw chicken sashimi.
Grey Gardens (2009), HBO
Ingredients:
Jessica Lange (‘Big’ Edith Bouvier Beale)
Drew Barrymore (‘Little’ Edith Bouvier Beale)
Jeanne Tripplehorn (Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis)
Michael Sucsy (Director)
Take one unbalanced matriarch and whisk in one co-dependent daughter with an anxiety issue; place in a rotting home on the Long Island shore. Dress up in amazing clothes, authentic makeup and finish with ridiculously real New England accents. Create film based on documentary based on the lives of the Beales, Jackie O’s black sheep cousins. Fill with fantastical dreams and aspirations, money troubles and psychological disfunction. Introduce real-life roadblocks and severe guilt dilemmas to deter ‘Little Edie’ (Barrymore) from getting out of Grey Gardens.
Additional notes: You may add raccoons and overwhelming filth, to taste.
