Bourdain in Nicaragua, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Madness of March


I think most Americans know, or think of, Nicaragua the Eagan era Iran-Contra scandal, but I question how many American scan find the country on a map. This Monday, Anthony Bourdain and the No Reservation team find Nicaragua on the map-a country filled to the eyeballs with delicious meat and potatoes, iguanas, and yummy bull testacies. I would write more, but I am exhausted from the start of SXSW and the end of Honk! this weekend. So, catch this week’s preview clip here while I catch some rest, and don’t miss Anthony Bourdain’s: No Reservation’s this Monday at 9pm, Texas Time, only on the Travel Channel.

Five Easy Pieces (a quintet of other matters on my mind.)
1.) SXSW still has one full week left to go, and the tourists are already getting on my nerves.
2.) Honk! TX, the festival of community streets bands, was a smashing good time this weekend.
3.) I had dinner with F.O.T. Val Agostino last night for the first time in sixteen years. Had a great time.
4.) We have many ways to cook bacon.
5.) NFL labor dispute? It’ll get ironed by September. I hope. Until then, we will just have to kick back and enjoy March Madness. Keep your eye on Pitt.

Nice post, Braun. Too bad we can't all travel the world like Bourdain.
