Anthony Bourdain on Sound Opinions, tonight at 8 PM

The Bourdain makes a guest appearance tonight on our favorite NPR show. From the Trib:

…what the heck does Anthony Bourdain listen to when he is cooking Italian food?

Find out Friday on “Sound Opinions” on WBEZ-91.5 FM when Tribune rock critic Greg Kot and his sidekick Jim DeRogatis, rock critic of the Chicago Sun-Times, talk with Bourdain [...] about two of the greatest pleasures in life — food and music.

We do know what he’s not listening to:

One constant, then and now, is my still ironclad ground rule regarding music both during and after work: In any kitchen where I am in control, there is a strict NO Billy Joel, NO Grateful Dead policy. If you are seen visibly enjoying either act, whether during or even after your working hours, you can clean out your locker now. You’re fired.

(from “When the Cooking’s Over” in The Nasty Bits)

    Maybe I should try listening to squarepusher while cooking. This may get me more motivated to do more than just heat up leftovers.

    I’d like to see what sort of meal Squarepusher inspires! Maybe something like coffee grounds mixed with raw eggs and yogurt and lima beans. And mushrooms and goat cheese and mashed papayas. Eew! Don’t make it! :P :D
