    Anthony Bourdain

    by susan844 on 10/10/16Cross Arena - Portland

    I attend many shows - mostly live entertainment in my home town of Portland, ME, in Boston, MA and lately in NYC, and this week in Las Vegas. I'm no stranger to good shows and some that you leave and say that was good just not great. Anthony Bourdain's show was disdainful. I don't mind vulgar referencing even when it's not necessary. I can get down and dirty with the best; however, that was the only thing he had to say... string after string of empty banter. He ranted for an hour and 15 minutes saying absolutely nothing... he slammed anyone and everyone on every food channel. Hmmmm and notice he got booted off everyone of them. He just called them big nothings... hmmmmm - strange that they've been successful and Anthony not so much. I was outraged for getting suckered into a show that cost $90 total for the ticket and heard nothing - zip - zero. I felt it was an hour of his ego... such a shame because I wanted to hear what it said in the write up... stories about his food travels. shame on me. I hope I can save someone their hard earned money for some other good event.

    Laughed so hard, I thought I'd cry

    by JimiJams on 7/31/15Chicago Auditorium - Chicago

    I hadn't seen Bourdain preform live before last night, and had no idea what to expect. I've read all of his books and watch his shows. Is he a cynic? Yes, of course he is, so I wasn't surprised that he came off as cynical, and he did it in a very humours way that kept me laughing the whole show. The auditorium is a beautiful place to see any show, and when the house lights were turned on during the Q&A portion, I couldn't help but look around seeing this pretty palace built in 1889. History aside, Anthony captivity the audience with his stories, insight into food television, food competition and, of course his world wide travels. Thank you Bourdain. Be seeing you at gate 34 at the Tokyo airport.

    ANTHONY BOURDAIN IN CHICAGO MAY 9, 2013

    by GJALBARR on 5/10/13AUDITORIUM THEATRE - CHICAGO

    Really enjoyed the show! Laughed and could relate to his stories and humor! Bourdain at his best as he put on the show with minimum propts and shot from the hip. Eric was pretty funny to. Nice to see friends roast and enjoy each other. Bourdain is raw humor at it's best using his own life experiences from youth to present to show where he came from and where he is now. Basically really funny stuff! Only bad thing about the show was the sound system, which was not his fault. You would think the Auditorium would have decent equipment. All in all strongly recomment anyone who likes Bourdain to go see him. An enjoyable evening!

    Not interested in a "how to" of drug use!

    by RestaurantMaiden on 11/5/12Tennessee Performing Arts Center - Nashville

    Very disappointed in overall performance. Not at all a professional production. Less than 10 minutes into the show his glorified PowerPoint failed to advance a slide and he was completely unprepared to carry the show without a prop! He spent a good 15 minutes of his show discussing methods for using drugs or getting high while filming, but without being seen directly on camera. Really? But yet, during the Q&A, a member of the audience asked him to elaborate on Alphabet City, and he patronized the person by saying that this was a terrible time in his life, he said "I was a heroine addict, and that's not fun." He said that was nothing he wanted to discuss. He was willing to sensationalize the drug usage on his show, but not discuss his reality! We know Anthony Bourdain is a liberal, who has been and probably continues to be a drug user. That's all the more reason we did not need to hear more of his political views or listen to him glamorize his methodology for getting high! I sure didn't pay what I paid to hear what I heard! Mr. Bourdain, you have had the great luck to travel the world, work with some of the most renowned chefs, eat foods many of us will never even see in cultures that are so foreign to us, and the most you have to share is how much you dislike other celebrity chefs, how to get high on TV, and how we as a nation are somehow responsible for people who can't say "no" to the clown, the king and the colonel. That's just sad to me!

    Tony is a great speaker

    by misterrobinson on 11/5/12Fedex Forum - Memphis

    I read previous reviews saying the speach was short and not that good etc. When Tony was in memphis this week the wife and I went to see him... Very entertaining. Tony talked for 1 hour then took questions for about 20 minutes. He did a slide show with clips from his show... hilarious. Poked fun of some of the travel channel competition. He brought to the audience attention he is not canceling no reservations but moving the show to CNN. Should be interesting. Definitely recommend this show. Very fun and entertaining.

    What? No one past row 25 could hear anything.

    by matthewsissonathotmail on 2/29/12Devos Hall - Grand Rapids

    Seriously. The back half of the hall could not hear the show. The sound was just too quiet. We struggled to hear but missed soo much that it was not even enjoyable. The people around us were clearly struggling to hear as well as they were rudely shh-ing people that made any noise at all. Devos Hall usually has it together so I wonder if this wasn't an Anthony Bourdain problem.

    The sound was terrible

    by Lidsville on 2/19/12Detroit Opera House - Detroit

    The last 20 percent of the main floor could not hear the show at all, or at a minimum, we had to struggle like hell to hear anything. My wife stuck it out, but many of us left in frustration. I talked to the management at length and they said they could do nothing because it was Tony's sound tech, but noted that no sound check was performed. We love Tony, but for goodness sake, do a freeking sound check before you disappoint so many people who paid good money. Very unprofessional and easily fixed but this oversight ruined many people's night for sure.

    Great time

    by Otis5452 on 4/12/11Hershey Theatre - Hershey

    We saw the show in Hershey , the venue was smallish (900) but very comfortable! He talked for about an hour and was just as he seems on his show! Lively and entertaining! A world class traveller and chef, he has many interesting and funny stories! He took questions from the audience for about 30 minutes, until they got really stupid(questions). We will see him again for sure!

    Less knocks more talk

    by hospitality on 9/11/10Bagdad TheaterPortland,Oregon - PortlandOregon

    We waited almost 2 hours to get, kind of surprised by the venue, hard to get seats because they were taken by people saving seat, felt a little like high school. I was disappointed by the 40 minute show. Anthony talked for maybe 20 minutes, then opened up for questions from the audience. The sound was terrible, could not hear half of the questions or answers, lighting was just as bad. This is a place to have music that is only barley audible and not a good place for this type of event. The overall length of the program left me feeling like a cattle call. We saw the first show and he kept checking his watch to make sure we left on time. Overall I did not care for food network bashing, it felt like one restaurant knocking another to their clients. Tho I do not care for many of the food networks shows; I am sure that it is better entrainment than most of the "reality" tv that people are addicted to. I felt like I spent the night in a hotel 6 instead of the Hyatt.

    Getting to see Tony in Oregon again was a blast! Though this time his show was a little more of a "book signing" speech moment. It would've been better had there been VIP tickets so those of us could get autographs or pictures with him. Still very entertaining! Hope he comes back again!
