I think the key is that though Bourdain is a chef, it isn't really a food show per se. It's travel/culture, and naturally food is part of what makes a culture what it is. He mixes in some history of whatever city he's visiting to round it off. I also watch "Bizarre Foods" with Andrew Zimmern (also a chef), even though I wouldn't fuck with tarantula on-a-stick and some of the other shit he puts in his mouth. However, there are some things I would eat, and I'm always looking for info on locations to potentially visit.
