I like bourdain a lot. he's not an uncomplicated guy, though. kind of typical upper-middle-class punk rocker. raised in comfort, yearned for the sh*ts. did everything he could to piss off his parents (his mom was a copy editor at the nyt, and ruth reichl says she was the only one in whole building who really scared her, which tells you basically everything you need to know). but he's really, really smart and really, really funny and has the appropriate level of self-loathing.
tom is pretty much what tom seems like. very business-like, very straightforward and plain-spoken, fairly gruff. he's a legit great chef.
