You can bet I'll be watching AND taping this show tomorrow night.

I just hope he:
#1 Doesn't film the whole thing in Bucharest.
#2 Gets out into the countryside.
#3 Doesn't get hokey with the whole Dracula thing.

I would love to see him out in the Carpathian Mountains north of Brasov since that is where I think we will be focusing our time.

You can bet it'll have its share of debauchery, from what I saw on the commercials. Especially since he's meeting up with his old friend Zamir (see shows from Uzbekistan and Russia)...anything goes!

I've got my dvr set too!

Thanks for the tip, I think I'll tune in for this one!

Well, that show was frustrating to watch.

I picked up a few hints, reinforcements, and oh ohs.

1- From the looks of the city of Bucharest itself, (or at least what he bothered to show us) I am feeling justified in giving the city only the last couple of days at the end of our trip.
2- From the ridiculous event at "Dracula's Castle" I also feel justified in my plan to focus on the Maramures & northern Moldavia regions rather than on Transylvania.
Of course, it WAS Anthony Bourdain! You can't expect anything he shows you to be truly representative of the mainstream, can you?

I guess this episode was a bit of a dud? There is a thread over on chowhound about it. Check it out:

AB in Romania

Wow, no mercy for Tony on Chowhound.

And I do agree with almost all of their posts.

I had about 1.5 days in Bucharest, and I certainly could have used more. OK, it's not Rome, but there is much to see and an awful (in all senses of the word, I guess) lot of history. I enjoyed dining in Bucharest, too.
