Anthony Bourdain dined with President Obama last week on the season premiere of CNNs Parts Unknown, but dont expect him to break bread with the loathsome Donald Trump anytime soon.
Absolutely fing not, the globe-trotting foodie told TheWrap when asked if he would care for a private dining session with The Donald.
Ive been a New Yorker most of my life, [and] for better or worse Mr. Trump is a New Yorker, Bourdain said. We know him well here. Weve watched how he does business and weve watched him say things and then weve seen whether or not he did those things, we have seen how he treats the people he does business with. I would give the same answer that I would have given 10 years ago, when he was just as loathsome, he added.
As for Hillary Clinton, Bourdain seems more forgiving, but he makes it clear hes not in the market to go around supping with politicos.

(1,965 posts)I like his CNN show much better than the old Travel Channel show. It is the ONLY thing I watch on CNN.
