I don't ever picture him living there, taking it easy, rolling with the punches, enjoying the humidity and the slow Southern pace. I'm not sure Anthony Bourdain is in love with New Orleans. Once you fall in love with her, you fall hard and there's no turning back.
New Orleans is less city and more living entity.
It's also a city that considers eating, drinking, and music necessary to life. It's a city that leases burial vaults to the dead for a year and a day (after that a corpse in a NOLA cemetery is pushed to the back to make room for another, fresher body) and follows Napoleonic Code in its legal system. It's no secret that New Orleans exists in its own time and space.
