A few weeks ago, I picked up Anthony Bourdain... the famous author, chef, and world traveler! I didn't recognize him at first... he was with two of his entourage... and he had this crazy big beard, which I wasn't used to seeing on him!
The three guys got into the chevy, Bourdain and one guy in the back seat. As we got on our way to a local hotspot... The Back Door on Bardstown Road... the guy up front said to me, "Hey, do you know who's in the back seat?" I said, "No."
The front seater asked me, "Have you ever heard of Anthony Bourdain?" I looked in the rear view mirror... at the bearded passenger... and I said, "Oh man! You're Anthony Bourdain!"
Despite the "obvious" nature of my intro to Anthony, he was an extremely cool passenger... and very funny!
We talked about some of his experiences. He philosophized about the need for people to show more respect to one another... he said something about the government creating a bomb that seeks out and blows up _________s (the plural form of a particular part of the anatomy, which everyone shares in common... use your imagination)!
When we got to the destination, Anthony Bourdain actually invited me in to have a drink with him! I thanked him, but thought that might be a bad idea (since I was actually gonna be picking up other passengers).
You know, I don't even know why Anthony was in Louisville KY... though I'm sure it had something to do with eating delicious food, and drinking large quantities of alcohol!
I have some pretty cool experiences driving with Uber...including the fact that I almost had a drink with one of the coolest drinkers (and chefs!) in the world.
