Have you ever been sitting down
watching a show and thought to yourself, I would love to be doing what they are
doing, eating whatever they are eating, or even just be where they are? I catch
myself doing this all the time, but most of the time I can’t seem to move my
lazy ass.
This Tuesday happened to be a
little different though. Anthony Bourdain’s show on Travel Channel, No Reservations, is probably my
favorite show on television and this time he was in Amsterdam. I couldn’t help but drool at the bratwurst sitting
on a pile of sauerkraut at a fancy bar in the middle of the Amsterdam river.
Even on my outdated TV I could still see the “meat in tube form” (as Anthony
likes to call it) sizzling and bubbling.
I felt like it was my calling, I
had to do something about this urge. I literally stole my roommate’s car and
drove to Wal-Mart. I bought a 6 pack of juicy brats and cooked them all.
Although it wasn’t nearly as good as the Danish brat on television I felt very
satisfied and moved by my journey.
I don’t believe there is any more powerful
media persuasion than food on T.V.
