working for Bourdain

If i worked for Bourdain i think it would be an adventure because with him everyday would be a new day. I would learn from him and when he is high out of his mind i would laugh.I would learn the way of the kitchen. I think that if i worked with him i would see food as something else.However i think me and Bourdain would bump heads a lot because i'm a free spirit  and i like to do my own thing and i feel like we would bump heads a lot.
