On a recent episode of ‘Parts Unknown,’ Anthony Bourdain traveled to Las Vegas to take it all in... the food, entertainment, and overall atmosphere. He brought along cookbook writer Michael Ruhlman and met up with a few old friends including a magician, and local chefs.
The episode gets especially interesting when he delves into the prominent EDM culture that is now dominating Sin City, and he has a few choice words that are nothing but hilarious. Criticizing how Las Vegas establishments now make more money from nightlife and alcohol sales than from gambling as they historically had, he likens EDM to cocaine saying “It’s a DJ’s world, and where once they used to say cocaine was God’s way of telling you you had too much money, now maybe EDM is.” Maybe he’s “too old" to understand... or maybe he's just "non-douchey?”
He then taps into his poetic side and recites a poem he wrote: “Come ye lords and princelings of douchedom, hear my clarian call. Annoint-eth yourself with gel and heavenly body spray. Make-eth thy sign of the devil horns with thine hands. Let there be high-fiving and hugging of bros, for this is the kingdom and the power.”
