Anthony Bourdain
Here is what the weather was like on the drive down to Cleveland for the TV Shoot.
The show was shot in Mid-December and did not air until September 27th at 10:00pm on the Travel Channel
It is only about 25 miles to Downtown to where we were meeting them.
For those of you who don't know, Anthony Bourdain is a traveling chef who has a regular
TV Program on the Travel Channel. You can see his website here:
This is the street where we did the mock drag race.
Me and Anthony Bourdain
It was kinda a boring day. We spent the whole day on this one street doing this "Mock Drag Race" up and down the street. They would shoot the two cars from the front 3 or four times, then the side three or four runs, in the T/A three or four runs, in the Honda, three or four runs, from the side..... well, you get the picture. They kept on running up and down the street capturing it from all different angles and such. Me and Hammer just stood there watching and hopped in the car every now and then to get a little warming up.
Tony really liked my door locks knobs. I put on the skull knobs because..... well.... I am "The Hitman".
Here is a shot (left to right) of Anthony Bourdain, Mike (Hammer)(My official cameraman for the shoot),
and Michael Ruhlman (local chef and Author).
On the way home..... Yeah !
What I don't have photos of is the 6 hours I spent cleaning and detailing my car after running it in the snow and salt.
Man was that a pain.
He also gave me a copy of one of his books and signed it.
Here is a snippet of the show that aired:
