Anthony Bourdain dead at 61. Such a sad day. He was my favorite food blogger. He travelled to parts of the world many dared not travel, and showed food that many people didn't know existed. He also showed the cultures of the places he visited. I remember an episode he was in Northern Thailand, and was drinking Lao Kao at an eatery when it was early in the morning, and he spoke about how it makes you hallucinate , and he showed food that everyday people eat in various regions around the world, which helped break the stereotypes of ''Chinese food is mainly sweet and sour pork with fried rice '', and ''All Thai food is spicy''. Wait, didn't he have a series on Netflix? I tried to watch it but he just came off as a bit of an asshole, always talking down to people and such. That was always my opinion of him. He seemed like a complete jackass. I didn’t want the guy dead or anything. Suicide is never the right answer. But he still always just seemed like an asshole whenever he opened his mouth.

Wait, didn't he have a series on Netflix? I tried to watch it but he just came off as a bit of an asshole, always talking down to people and such. He was on CNN. Personally I liked him being frank, he talked about hidden truths such as how America bombed Laos when Laos were never officially at war with America, to the extent more bombs were dropped on Laos, than Germany in WW2. Hence the unexploded bombs in Laos are still killing or disfiguring people. When he was in Turkey, he said western tourists who visit mosques should respect the Turkish culture and dress appropriately (western women wore tank tops and revealing clothing),and even though I'm fairly liberated myself, I also think people who visit other countries should respect the country's culture, even though they don't agree with it. I liked how he didn't just visit touristy places, he visited unspoilt areas, and I can see how sex tourists who visit Pattaya and Phuket think all of Thailand is the same as these places and give misinformation to others, and the misinformation spreads. Well, at least we can agree he had good taste in women, he always seemed to have a girly friend wherever he travelled, and he seemed to have a thing for Asian women despite being officially in relationships with white women.

Alright people. Go here. IF you take advantage of this 25 dollar coupon to order beef directly from farms the I get entered automatically to win this: I know, I know... "Uesugi, why would I help YOU to get more Wagyu?" Because you're an awesome person and an incredible friend? (plus once you buy something then you too can convince friends and relatives to buy shit and get entered yourself!) Alternatively you could opt to just buy this A5 Wagyu, imported from Japan. It's pricey though. But this is NOT Olive Wagyu, the rarest steak on the planet, that I enjoyed last time.

Past few days, I've had Chinese style barbecue duck and soy chicken for dinner.

Are we certain the Coke won't digest the coffee?

I think we can all agree on this...
