Anthony Bourdain - Farmer's Market in San Francisco

[LyokoTravels]

I live in San Francisco ^^

[geraldinebacalso]

This video is great , I wonder how that food taste.

[RQVOutdoorMoovies]

When you post a video on You Tube, the hope is that people who are interested in the topic will watch it. I posted a video called "allen street farmers market", but no one has viewed it because they can't find it. I'm hoping that I'm able to get a few views by informing people that it exists.

[yogininurse]

I'm glad to find this as I missed last night's No Reservation's San Francisco show. I hope you guys get that one up here too.

[oakland002]

i'm just not big into those tamolly food thing...

[kimchifome]

He didn't check out the original Farmer's Market on Alemany and Bayshore,Real Farmers that work the land and then bring they're produce to market at 3 am,Bunches of fresh veggies for only 1 dollar,You wont find that at the Ferry Building,I've shopped them both,I find the old one to be better and free parking.

[ILFZ2]

"cool, free stuff" hahaha.. that's how I think:)

[angelmarine1292]

Urgh, California. Ew.

[circaofficial]

ANTHONY COME TO OC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aads13]

wtf that 9 dollar? come to LA. youll get 3 of those for like 6 bucks

[Irondo11]

Tony visits The City? Doesn't matter what he would ever say, we natives know we got a good thing...

[YadhiraZ]

A designer taco jajajaja!

[Jesteria78]

Banjo music? GET OUTA THERE TONY!!!!

[Iheartcoca13]

Cleveland steamer?! bahahahahaha omg, I cannot believe he said that. Yet another reason I love him.

[rlga5]

that's probably the single filthiest thing I've heard come out of Tony's mouth.

[ToxicAce]

I'd like to state that I'm an SF native. To Judywatt and Mootopia, I feel that your comments reinforce the stereotype that San Francisco is nothing but smug rich hippies. In this episode Anthony was trying to show the world, that there is more to San Francisco than smug hippies.

Furthermore, Anthony was not dissing the sustainable organic food movement. He was merely pointing out the fact that most of that great organic stuff is mostly available to the bourgeoisie and not the proletariat.

[shampoovta]

Get some Pozole from a roach couch and Coke in a toll GLASS bottle ice cold. So good!

[flyrodder68]

$9.00 for a tamale plate and he calls that value? I guess in San Francisco where the average income is over 80K/year, that is considered a value meal. He needs to go to some of the Mexican tacqueria in Texas and get an authentic down to earth Mexican tamale that will keep one wanting more. Love the show and love San Fran.

[um22w22]

how much is a tamale plate in Texas?

[pvd021]

Standard of living is different there. For example, if you worked at Blockbuster as a cashier in SF you would be paid 12$, that said, a single large pizza from pizza hut would set you back 20 bucks.

[solimiansky]

agree, i can get better tamales in LA for half the price!

[dreabby18]

my dad is the man that takes his order of tamales =]

[meloearth]

This made me so hungry!

[Daveissa87]

I agree he didnt' do SF any justice though.

[mootopia]

At least in San Francisco it's a lot easier to find local, organic, sustainably farmed and humanely raised meat products, which as it turns out, isn't much more expensive than purchasing factory-farmed hormone-pumped meat that travelled thousands of miles across the U.S. to arrive at a local supermarket shelf. It is possible to be a consumer-conscious omnivore.

[judywatt]

In the video, he apparently he doesn't realize that 85 or 100k does not go any further in SF than it goes in his beloved NYC.

San Francisco's median home price is $657,180 right now. So why Tony thinks 85k is a lot of money, I have no idea (especially since he must make millions a year himself).

I've lived in SF for 40 years and I found the show pretty irritating and clueless, and I usually like his shows. Most of the places he ate, I would not bother with. For the most part, yuck.

[seans23]

I hoped he stopped at the Fatted Calf stand.

[easilyi]

Anthony did not do San Francisco any justice at all. Makes me realize he does not do any justice for any destination. Eating the meatiest most unhealthy things he can find and making fun of healthy vegetarian sustainable food is pretty sad. More and more realizing the negative contribution his show really brings to food.

[Daveissa87]

Few people in SF are actually vegetarians. We have one of the most diverse food scences IN THE WORLD. Sorry we all aren't sissies! We eat sandwiches. We eat mexican, we eat asian.

We hardly eat tofo shit!

[judywatt]

I'm not a vegetarian but I eat a LOT of veggies and not much meat. Vegetarians aren't sissies though, just people who don't want to eat meat for all kinds of reasons.

I agree with you that we eat all kinds of food here and it's the most diverse little city in the US for sure. Tony needs to get a clue - you would think he would already know all this, so maybe he was just being obnoxious in a fake way instead of his usual genuine way. ;-)

[meloearth]

Hey Judy! I was cruising the main videos and look who I find ranting... you go, girl. :D

[judywatt]

Hey melo - good to see you here. Tony should come back to SF and let me take him to some great vegetarian places. His whole meat-eating, gin-guzzling jerk persona is getting awfully old. He had a kid at 50 and stopped smoking, so maybe he should think about cutting down on his other bad habits, like eating tons of really nasty meat produtcts and drinking like a maniac, if he wants to live long enough to see his daughter grow up!

[meloearth]

He's worse than Rachael Ray and that Lousiana women with the big bluish wig that loves butter, but I kinda thought it was fun to watch him look all loaded at the end of his shows. When he went to Brazil he was purple and wanted a nap, haha!

Sheesh, he had a kid at 50??! Yeah, things might change now.

I kinda see sarcasm in this segment, but maybe if I lived in SF I'd see it differently.

[meloearth]

Now I know who's gonna give me referrals on vegetarian places when I visit SF. Yum.

[zeebo156]

@judywatt i live in seattle where theres also the smug better than you vegetarian all soy crap prius driving attitude are the embodiment of that.

[priceandpride]

i think that was a bonus video for a layover to someplace exotic

[sunmoon]

Definitely better tamales in SF, but at least he finally came.

And I don't mean the Tamale Lady's tamales, either. Last time I had her tamales, the masa was awful! It was grits instead of cornmeal (or that's what it tasted like to me, and I love grits). I haven't been able to eat her tamales since then.

[raulitoquijas]

creo que te gustaron los tamales de puerco !!!

[CrypticVision]

I'm Puerto Rican and proud of my gut! We call our guts "pipas" and it's more cushion for the pushin'! :-P

[lugui65977]

Tony obviously is biased at arriving in San Francisco. As a native San Franciscan, I do not appreciate that he has preconceived notions of SF Food...there are better tamales places in San Francisco than the Ferry Building. And yes, the ferry building farmer markets is the most exclusive in the city. He should have visited the one at Civic Center that offers the same local produce quality at a much better price, and better tamales. I would hope that next time, Tony gets a native SFan to show him

[samlevin]

totally agree. Ferry Farmers Market is WAY overpriced..

[chrisruano]

oh yeah i think tony b. is the coolest guy alive

[chrisruano]

i cant wait to see this episode

[maquahuitl]

by far, this is the best show on travel channel.

[Hockyluv21]

@maquahuitl Or ANYWHERE, really. Where else can you dig into cultures so foreign to not just me but to everybody else? Good examples are the Laos, Azores, Liberia, Saudi Arabia, Ecuador, Panama and Istanbul episodes. Next season has even more interesting places than ever before.

[legacy0100]

Anthony Bourdain is eerily starting to resemble my Pueto Rican roomate with his tan and ever so subtly enlarging gut.

It's scary.

[PennyRoyaleTea]

All Pueto Ricans get a large gut eventually. The women are usually the first to go.

[ahlamns]

all ethnic women get large and are the first to go. we know how to cook and enjoy

[OfficerNoodles]

i love no reservations
