Anthony Bourdain visits the Mid-Hudson Area, By Samantha Miller


Anthony Bourdain is a celebrity chef, world traveler, bestselling author, and the host to "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations." He travels around the world experiencing different cultures and foods. Anthony Bourdain graduated from the Culinary Institute and started running kitchens in New York City such as Super Club, One Fifth Avenue and Sullican's. His works have been viewed in many magazines, books and newspapers. The New York Times published Bourdain's description of New York City's restaurants "Don't Eat Before Reading This," which recieved really great reviews and helped him with his successful book, "Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly." In 2002, The Food Network started Bourdain's success by debuting him in a twenty-two episode featuring him traveling around the globe and understanding eating habits with the best cuisines the world has to offer. Shortly after he became the host of The Travel Channel's, "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations."
Recently he visited the Mid-Hudson Valley to a local place in Goshen, New York called Quaker Creek store. He was very interested in their deep Polish heritage and their signature kielbasa. He spent an entire day cisiting the location to where he asked many questions about the ancestors who created the store in 1947. He was so interest he ended up filming an apisode with one of the main chef's of the store. Along with the store he also filmed other local areas in the Mid-Hudson area such as Mohonk Mountain House, The Culinary Institute and a Newburgh taco cart. The show will be airing on February 8th, Monday night at 10pm on the Travel Channel.

-Great use of detailing his accomplishments and endeavours.

-Some sentences were too short and provided one idea. I would've combined some ideas into a bit longer sentences. Nice piece though!

~I thought it was really great how you provided background on him and then went into what he did locally.

~Just be careful with your spelling, otherwise I thought it was really well written!

-You gave the audience great background information on Anthony Bourdain.

-There were a couple minor spelling mistakes such as "recieved" or "cisiting."

I like how you gave the reader background information first, it made it easier to understand along with the details.
But don't forget grammar!

- Good background detail about his life.
- Could have been more in depth with some sentences. And maybe gave an example of one of his reviews that he got.
