00:00I call one of my best friend cab drivers, I'd say take me to your favorite place and keep the
00:04reader running and have him ride along. That's a good idea.
00:06I guess like my grandmother's house, you know.
00:10You know what? For Bourdain, I'm not gatekeeping.
00:12Aboukir Seafood on Steinway, it's like this little hole in the wall.
00:15They have a bunch of seafood, it's whatever's freshest and you coin to what you want and they cook it
00:21for you any way you want.
00:22It's the best experience.
00:23I would take Tony to our house where my wife would cook Ethiopian food.
00:27I have lovely memories of traveling with Tony in Ethiopia.
00:31My mother-in-law cooked for him and that's one of my favorite moments.
00:34There is the tiniest Thai restaurant called Thai Niam run by a couple and it's the best cow soy you'll
00:41ever have in your life.
00:42I would think that the adult Anthony would just want to come over and I'd like to cook dinner for
00:48him.
00:48I immediately thought of Kafana, it's a Serbian restaurant on the Lower East Side.
00:52We also drank all night, tried a ton of foods we never had, hung out with the servers, danced on
00:57tables.
00:57I feel like it's a vibe he would have loved.
00:59Maybe we bring him to a place in Koreatown where we sort of for the first time talked about writing
01:04something about Anthony Bourdain was over Hey BBQ.
