A trip to Spain is definitely a culinary adventure worth taking.

And re-taking.

Agreed. San Sebastian alone is considered the mecca of fine dining. I understand that the concentration of three star Michelin restaurants is higher there than any where in France even, (and thus the world).

Don't knock my scent. I smell like pulled pork all day.

Anthony Bourdain's 'No Reservations' Hot Dog Tour
Posted: 06/22/11 09:07 AM ET

It will be easy to reinvent your hot dog recipe this summer after you watch the below compilation of hot dog joints that Anthony Bourdain has visited over the years on No Reservations.

His first stop is Fat Johnnie's in Chicago where he samples a tamale topped with chili and served in a bun titled Mother-In-Law. "Mother-in-laws aren't easy to handle and this one is no exception...It's called the mother-in-law because it is supposed to give you indigestion, the way only a mother-in-law can."

Next, Bourdain is in Vancouver and chowing down at Japa Dog, where the hot dogs are topped with Japanese ingredients such as nori, daikon, teriyaki sauce and wasabi mayonnaise.

In Iceland, Bourdain's hot dog has multiple condiments. In addition to ketchup and mustard, his dog also contains curry sauce and remoulade.

The last stop on Bourdain's hot dog tour is in Sweden, in which the hot dog has both mashed potatoes and shrimp salad. In fact, there are so many add-ons to the hot dog that a fork is definitely required.

Haha. I've seen some of these dogs on his shows over the years.

Real men always smell like bacon.
Or BBQ.

I'd like to know where he managed to find remoulade in Iceland at all.

And Mashed potatoes and shrimp salad on them is surely not regular fare in Sweden either. SOunds disgusting.

Yeah, that's a really weird one...

Picked my friend up to have lunch at Tom Colicchio's Craft restaurant in Century City for his birthday.

Spinach with Chorizo, Potato Chips, and Golden Raisins

Oysters on the Half Shell with Mignonette and Cocktail Sauce

Diver Scallops with Golden Raisins, Piquillo Peppers and Marcona Almonds

Braised Beef Short Rib

Braised Corn

Chocolate Brioche Pudding with Malt Custard and Port Poached Cherries

Triple Chocolate Cake with crumbled Bacon (they brought this out b/c I told them it was my friend's b-day)

^ Helluva nice lunch.

Indeed. That was breakfast, lunch, and probably most of dinner! Hehe.

Since I didn't know what to get my buddy I figured I'd just take him out for a really good meal.

We just shared everything, family style...which suits me just fine.

Looks like a good decision.

Oh yeah, he and I have been there before so I knew he would enjoy the meal based on his past praise.

Fortunately it wasn't far from his office so we were able to avoid wasting time driving a lot during the limited time allotted for lunch. It was cool, hadn't seen my buddy in over 2 months.
