As fans of the Anthony Bourdain program, which can be seen on the Travel Channel, may have noticed, each and every episode comes with its own little disclaimer.
This blip lets you, the viewer, know that some of the content may not be appropriate for audience members of all ages, or all moral codes or credence for that matter.
The show tends to feature drinking, danger and of course crude language that although 'bleeped' out, still might cause a bad impression.
Critics of the program, especially females between the age of 40 and 60, have often criticized the program for exactly these qualities and the fact that Bourdain is seldom seen without a beer in his hand.
While anyone who has worked in the hospitality industry may agree that, at least onscreen, Bourdain is a pussycat next to many cooks and chefs, one has to agree that he gets away with far more than the average host of the average culinary and/or travel program.
A perfect example can be taken from the locations to which he heads with a camera crew to hang out and film footage that others might not be brave enough to tempt.
While some of these include remote areas of deserts or mountain ranges, many include inner city streets that the average tourist should stay far away from.
While the bright colors and friendly locals might seem alright via HD TV, the fact of the matter is these zones are often places where the average tourist wanders into and wanders out of short cash, wallet, credit cards, and confidence.
How exactly does Bourdain get away with it? Do the rules not apply to television crews? For one, it has to be assumed that Bourdain travels with a pretty hefty security crew to brave such areas.
Examples include episodes where he wanders into Villas in Argentina's Buenos Aires, which are traditionally impoverished neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city limits.
While Bourdain wanders freely into the neighborhood with a camera to enjoy a real Argentine meal, and praise how great it is to experience the "real" culture, his is not exactly a "do as I do" program.
Instead, one should take it as good satellite TV entertainment, and use common sense when deciding where is safe and logical to visit while in a foreign land.
Another key aspect that Bourdain has going for him is his stature, relaxed attitude and of course television presence.
Everybody likes to think they'll get their 15 minutes of fame on television, and who would want to jeopardize that? While he is recognizable to fans, it is unlikely just the average person on the street in many distant lands would recognize his face.
Instead, it is far more likely that passersby recognize the intention he has of showing and celebrating new and different corners of the culinary and cultural landscape of the planet.
Instead of just hitting up his buddies' five star restaurants, everything from street meat to freshly hunted wild boar is on the menu for Bourdain.
Fans certainly hope to see more of this valued and original satellite TV program.
