We finally got to see the fruits of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain's
much buzzed about visit to Detroit and Hamtramck. In the episode, he eats at the
Polonia Restaurant in Hamtramck,
Al-Ameer in Dearborn and the East Side's
Cadieux Cafe.
While
sucking down mussels and beer at the Cadieux (great choice, Bourdain)
he muses: "I am absolutely having the most wonderful time. I am really
liking
everyone I meet. I have been eating really great food. These mussels
are amazing, man." He also marvels at how the people he met had a deep
love for the city, and how the most cool cars and music have come from
here.
The show first aired Monday,
July 27, but repeats (shocking, we know) routinely, including another
airing July 30 at 11 p.m. on the Travel Channel. Set the DVR and enjoy.
His blog about his visit can be found
here.
