The proof:<br />1. He says how awesome the bread is, but look at it: it looks like Bimbo pebetes, aka Mexican Wonder Bread.<br />2. "They really aren't shy about the mayonnaise" blech.<br />3. I've been to Uruguay. It's Kansas with beaches.<br /><br />Let's be honest: Uruguay has alot of things going for it, but daring food isn't one of them. But Bourdain needs to look like he's covering everywhere geographically, and countries ending in -guay sound exotic to housewives in Omaha.rabidgandhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775744049172133221noreply@blogger.com
