Writer, TV show host, and Top Chef guest judge Anthony Bourdain will be coming to the North Charleston Performing Arts Center on Fri. Nov. 12.
The show is an off-the-cuff riff from Bourdain who generally talks for 45 minutes to an hour. โAnd then I open the floor to questions,๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ he says. โSo much counts on the questions. If itโs a good audience, if the questions are confrontational or unexpected, or something completely out of left field, that can really change the night. People can ask anything they want. So those nights that have been strange and weird and unanticipated are ones where I get good questions.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
So put your thinking caps on Charleston, and do us proud. Just donโt ask stupid, embarrassing questions that get asked all the time like: โWhatโs the best thing youโve ever eaten?๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ (so trite). โWant to come over to my house for dinner?๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ (cringe-worthy). โWhere will you be eating while youโre in town?๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ (as if heโd tell you and insult every chef whose place doesnโt get the nod).
Instead of baloney Today-show questions, go Barbara Walters on him. Read his books, find one of his blistering rants, one that mortally attacks your special place and challenge him on it. Heโll love every minute of it.
