Oh, I wish I'd known! I missed the Barcelona episode! Since Anthony's passing, and CNN's new right-leaning perspective, I have no reason to watch CNN any longer. However, I will definitely be checking in the next few Sundays for what I'm sure will be a really interesting show!

I watched the 1st show last night and so enjoyed it. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series. I lived in downtown DC for a few years several years ago in an apartment right above Jaleo, so I has known for years how much I love your food and value you!

I can't wait to watch it! Jose, I have always been a fan since we worked together on dineLA when you hosted the kick-off press conference at Bazaar! I was the publicist for dineLA for the first three years. I have a lovely picture of you and Kerry Simon (RIP) from that event. (I posted it in notes.) I am so grateful for the work you and your teams do helping people facing unimaginable devastation and life-threatening circumstances, providing them comfort through your food + love. Your contribution to humanity is an inspiration to me and my family! Love to you and yours xoxo

I am so moved by Andres’’ show and the absolute beauty and sincerity in everything this man touches. He is living the best life and showing us simple worldly pleasures and the art of being present. I am moved to tears episode after episode. His kids represent so much light and promise and seal the deal on his legacy. I loved Anthony Bourdain and his rebel nature and grieve for his loss. Andres is the expression of true joy and is blessed and shows us a different side of cultural enlightenment. I feel like Tony could see the beauty but couldn’t internalize it. Andres literally eats life and allows himself to be vulnerable, human, flawed and silly. My mom passed recently and I am sad at her loss but she had that kind of joy and danced on the table literally. Enjoy it guys, life is short and spending time with your kids making pizzas, fishing, playing is the whole point. No kids, no family . . . no problem. Trust in the kindness of strangers and savor a good meal with friends, a sunset, a quiet moment. The world is filled with discontentment and disappointment. So many of us die on the verge of reaching the beach. I wish you all the kind of happiness Andres has found and shares.

Really enjoyed the Barcelona episode, and so glad you are doing it on CNN, since I do not subscribe to Discovery (can't afford endless streaming services).
