Dear Mr Bourdain,

I love you. Really, I do. I love your show "No Reservations" but I can't for the life of me wrap my mind around why you're doing this stupid "At the Table" talk show with a bunch of pretentious food snobs. Maybe this is relatable for New Yorkers, but I'm a lowly lay person who will never ever ever be able to justify a $1800 meal. I do have to give you credit for asking the question "Is it really worth it?" but I have to wonder why you've taken a regular man approach to a situation that you intentionally put yourself in. You decided to eat a $1800 meal and then sit down at a table surrounded by haughty foodies and make it sound like it is repulsive to spend that kind of money on a meal. You're right. It's ridiculous. But you also contributed to it, so I can't believe you when you play the "starving kids in Africa" type card.

This show is stupid. I sort of hate all of your guests. Yes, even the Queer Eye guy. I still love you, well....only if you plan on bringing back "No Reservations" Travel is marvelous. Authentic food is marvelous. Thats what makes me love that show. I don't care about the food being made at some overpriced NYC eatery. I hate small dishes with 10 different adjectives describing something as simple as mashed potatoes.

*sigh*
