If The Venture Brothers and Aqua Teen Hunger Force came together and had a little lovechild with No Reservations, I have a feeling it would look like the newest project from Anthony Bourdain and The Travel Channel. The aptly-named Anthony Bourdain’s Alternate Universe is a completely animated series that delves deep into the twisted mind of the celebrity chef (and it looks like there will be more than a few Rachel Ray jokes).

Anthony is one of my idols, not only because of his on-air persona, but because it’s so obvious that he loves what he does (even when he’s frustrated during a shoot, which I find especially hilarious and relatable). In the spirit of Tony, I’ll say that I’m looking forward to his new project almost as much as he looks forward to a new, exotic pork dish.

Daniel Delaney from VendrTV was kind enough to invite me on the show, and I was thrilled to be able to try Spencer On The Go, a French food truck that patrols the SoMa district of San Francisco.

Now, I’ve become somewhat more adventurous in my eating habits in the past few years, but I’ve never tried escargot before. It did not go well. However, everything else we sampled was delicious, albeit guilt-inducing.

VendrTV is great, and they’ve found a nice niche by focusing on the very-trendy food carts and trucks that are showing up in major cities all over the country. Also check out his episodes with Gary Vaynerchuk and Dave Morin, who visited my favorite coffee spot in San Francisco, Blue Bottle!

OK – it’s been argued on Buzz Out Loud, in our guild forums, and all over the internet. Time to see the numbers:

There is only one thing lacking in my life right now: a good chair. My desk chair has been seized by the full-time blogger living in my apartment for the summer, and so until we can get over to Office Max or something, there is only one chair for two people.

Since running Engadget has been deemed more important than my Warcraft addiction, I’ve had to do other things with my time. Here is a list of some of those things:

1. Watching “Sex and the City.” Possibly up to five times a day (Thank you, TiVO!)
2. Watching the entire first season of “Lost” until the wee hours of the morning.
3. Going to dot com events.
4. Trying new delicious restaurants with my girlfriends.
5. Torturing the cat.
6. Reading the Mallorean, Vol. 1 (I think I’m on Book 6 of like… 800).
7. Sleep.

So, if you haven’t seen me on Bonechewer in a while, that’s why. *sigh*
