What is it about Tony?

I’ve been trying to figure out what it is about Anthony Bourdain that I love so much. It’s can’t just be his less-holier-than-thou persona or his f*** you attitude…can it (by the way, is this a family site or can I just say it)?  Perhaps it’s the fact that he looks and acts how my Dad would on an acid trip (not unlikely) and smokes two packs a day just like him. But what makes this 50-year-old leathery man so sexy to this 23-year-old? It must be my wish to have the gritty eloquence that seems to seep out of his pores.

Plus, he gets to travel the world and eat it all.  Was it good for me?  Tony, it always is with you.
