Anthony Bourdain Finally Makes It To Philly On Last Night’s ‘The Layover’

Didn’t get the chance to watch the whole thing yet since I was too busy last night curinsg out Eli Manning for not winning me FanDuel money (literally one more completed pass away from good money, fuck the Giants) but I definitely will catch it today. Gotta love the way Bordain began the show:

“There will be no cheesesteak in this show. Let me say that right up front.”

Great stuff. Other great quotes courtesy of eater:

On Philadelphia: “So. Philadelphia. City of Brotherly Love. We’re going to try to avoid all of that shit.”

Cheers: “Fuck brotherly love. Cheers to Philadelphia.”

Proposing changes to Philadelphia: “You should take down the Rocky statue and put up a Joe Frazier statue. You think I’d get any support for that?” — ALREADY WORKING ON IT.

On Philadelphia: “Philadelphia is a town with a low tolerance for bullshit and a whole lot of heart. Forget about Rocky and forget about cheesesteak.”

Check out a gallery of pictures from AB’s trip to our city below.

Joe Frazier if from Beaufort, South Carolina! Not Philly! Rocky Balboa is obviously a Philly native and Legend!!! Philadelphia would honor a fictional character because they have no real athletes to put up statutes of.

The show is only an hour long...definitely not enough time to tour all of the filth grime that Philly has to offer.

Philly has food fit for a jail cafeteria. Nothing like here in Shanghai
