S05.E02: Miami

[ElectricBoogaloo]

Tony visits favorite haunt Club Deuce bar, the B&M market in "Little Haiti" for cow foot soup, Islas Canarias with chef Michelle Bernstein for a different take on the Cuban sandwich, and explores "The Miami Sound" with Questlove and Willie Clark (founder, Deep City Records).

Bourdain's blog about this week's episode, including how he first met Iggy Pop.

Nice episode. I liked the ending with Iggy and you could tell that Tony is still a bit awestruck with Iggy.

I thought it was cute that he was still starstruck. You know he was probably thinking, "OMG, I am having lunch with IGGY POP! Right now! Eeeeeeee!"

Mr. EB was most excited about Bourdain having lunch with Uncle Luther. Despite all the great guests, this episode fell a little flat for me. The good episodes make me want to visit whatever city he highlighted, whether it's for the food or the culture. This episode didn't make me want to go to Miami. I also hate when he bitches about something like the club scene. To be honest, that's what most night clubs look like in any major city. If that's not your thing, it's really easy to avoid them. But going to one specifically to shoot footage of the drunken partygoers seems like a waste of time (both for the crew and for the viewer).

What happened to Michelle Bernstein's face??

Loved the ending of this one, with Anthony and Iggy on the beach and the voiceover about "lived my dream" and then being "two old men". Very poignant.
