This series could be promising since Bourdain is behind it. My concern however is that Bourdain’s louche street-wise production values will dominate, setting the tone that might not be best for others like Chang. I think Chan is really is a culinary genius rather than being a competent and knowledgeable cook who travels around. I ate at his Momofuku Noodle Bar and it must rate as one of the most wonderful Asian meals I’ve had washed down by the most beautiful sake I’ve ever had.
