I know people that watch his show, I don't since I don't have cable. I don't know what is so great about him, he is so full of himself. Any of his fans are sheeple, he is on CNN. This is not just some cooking foodie show. There is more to it. PR and preening for those he features.
Yes, he goes on and on about the history of the place he's visiting with his own spin on it as if he has this great wealth of knowledge. Likely not true but to bias the viewers on the CNN point of view of the world and other countries. He also openly talks about his heroin, sex and alcohol addictions on the show. He is fully self absorbed and nauseating I only used to watch occasionally to get a sense of who they were and what their objectives were as I found it odd CNN would sponsor a so called cooking travelling show. All television is programming now so u aren't missing anything not having cable. Good on you ;)
I watched it once or twice before we cut cable and I just hated it. He was in these she-she restaurants that most of us can't afford. Why do I want to watch that? Bragging and throwing it all up to us. That is what they like to do. Make recipes that none of us can afford to make. Also there is either nothing on the plate now and they always have that little smear they put on it. Stupid. Food is art to them. To us it is a necessity.
I don't like that f word, but do agree with you and the rest of your assessment. Yes, they are all a bunch of elitist snobs and some play us as though they are caring and kind. We need to send them some kind of message that we are on to their fakery.

He comes across as an elitist snob/fag.
