This week, Bourdain goes to Brittany. From the sound of his blog entry and the glimpses from his YouTube page, this is going to be one absolutely gorgeous episode. And also mouth-watering, of course!Here's an excerpt from Bourdain's journal post re: Brittany:
I'm not kidding about the color in Brittany. Everything is blue. It's a cinematographer's wet dream, a palette of dark blues, light blues and blue grays that forces everyone to unconsciously dress to match the surroundings. Against a background of ocean and sky, I look around at my crew and realize that all of us are appropriately and exclusively garbed in near matching shades of navy and gunmetal. You don't think about it. When you wake up in Brittany, somehow, the color orange never occurs to you. Heading out the door in yellow or bright green or even brown would feel disrespectful of the elements.
So much of a place reveals itself off camera. It's why I stopped taking photographs of my travels years ago. You miss everything. What you won't see on the show -- but should probably know about Brittany -- is that always, constantly -- in the moments between scenes, when the crew sits down for a break, when the show's over, cameras put aside, there's food. Delicious, delicious things coming at us from every direction. Mountain ranges of shellfish tower everywhere you look: oysters, lobsters, crabs, periwinkles, clams, shrimp and prawns.
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Brittany airs tomorrow, Monday, January 25 at 10pm E/P on the Travel Channel.
