If you are into extreme cuisine, how does you top eating the still-beating heart of a cobra? Or what about going right up to Korea's DMZ and fishing for your lunch?
If you're Tony Bourdain, you party in war-ravaged Beirut while airports are bombed and all ports are blockaded.
Bourdain flew to Beirut a week ago to do an episode on the local cuisine of Lebanon for his Travel channel show, No Reservations. He and his crew ate and partied Monday and Tuesday, but were holed up in their hotels after the bombings started, waiting for instructions on evacuation. I haven't seen any more news recently if Bourdain and his crew have left yet, but according to the New York Post, he's "not getting a show out of this . . . I just wanna hang out and drink at the bar. The mojitos here are great."
Sure, sure, Tony. We know you're a tough guy. Get home safely.

I thought your story on seal hunting was excellent.
I have no problem with seal hunting by native americans because they waste nothing of the animals that they hunt. Keep up the good job.
Thank you,
kel
