He does a good job and he was confronted full force by Guns , God, Coal, and Trump and handled it well. I was also struck by how easily black and white live there together.

No Reservations was more focused on food..I'm glad he has gotten more into politics and issues.

Absolutely and Bourdain mentioned it as well. WV really is an interesting and misunderstood region IMO...granted there is poverty and an opioid problem but the whole country has issues with those.

teamgreen02 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I like Bourdain. He's center left and I'm center right but he has an open mind. He addresses some pretty controversial issues on both sides. He would be a fun guy to share a beer with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKIQPilot Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Yep, very good episode. WV is a pretty cool state. They should build more Jeep and ATV trails and open it up to more recreation. It could be a fairly popular ORV destination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
