It is the night of our arrival in Manila, and usually on the day we arrive and before we begin principal photography, I spend my first few hours meeting with our fixer to discuss any changes or adjustments to our shooting schedule.
After that, I reach out to tomorrow\’s locations to touch base and remind them of the times that we are coming to film with them.
Finally, I head up to my hotel room and make sure the mini-fridge in my hotel room is functioning properly by testing the coldness of a beer before I go to sleep. It sometimes takes two beers to be certain, but up to this point I have not found a broken mini-fridge.
That is a normal arrival day.

I\’m watching Tony Bourdain eat roadkill.
For the last hour I\’ve been cutting a scene of Tony at a Chicago restaurant that specializes in molecular gastronomy of a rather unusual variety. Try to imagine Ferran Adria\’s El Bulli crossed with a novelty gift shop that sells chocolates in the shape of dog turds and you\’ll get some idea of the place. He\’s just had a big bite of a dish called \”Roadkill,\” actually it\’s a very delicately prepared dish of shredded duck confit with a splattering of a beet puree and a toasted rosemary infused marshmallow that is meant to resemble entrails, or maggots, or …well, you get the idea

Tony\’s driving our big black Caddy, skimming the Ike, just south of downtown Chicago. I\’m lying down in the backseat, deliberately in hiding. Trying to act like it\’s cool. Like it\’s totally not uncomfortable. In every sense of the word. You must know, faithful Bourdain Crew Blog Reader, how Tony doesn\’t like doing the walking shots? Well apparently he doesn\’t like repetitious driving shots either, as evidenced by his increasingly road-rage-alicious maneuvers. Oh, and the occasional explosive swearing was a little hint, too. As I\’m trying to multitask on my new iPhone, navigating prone and linked with the crew van, I\’m so glad they\’re yukking it up over there. I can hear Chris, Diane, Alex, Kira, Erik and even my brother William, whom I recruited to drive, practically singing \”99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall.\” By the way, Chris, when you told me to duck down to get out of the shot and I dropped down to the right, I heard you say, \”I wish she would have leaned the other way!\” Ha. Ha. Meanwhile I desperately cling to the fine leather upholstery, trying not to get flung hard to the floor. At least I\’m grateful for all the time I spent on a Deadliest Catch-esque fishing boat this summer curing myself of motion sickness.
