Letter to Tony Bourdain

Dear Tony,

Be careful what you wish for!

I am sure you have no idea what I am talking about so let me refresh your memory!  In your cookbook "Les Halles" on page 225 you wrote the following:

"Now bask in the moral certainty that you are the baddest-ass king hell, fearless fucking gourmet in your area!  In fact, send me a photo (c/o the publisher) of yourself, holding up this completed recipe, with some friends in the background (and I want to see ears in there!) and I'll send you a personal letter of commendation and devotion."

Well, I completed the tripe recipe in your cookbook and I am sending you the proof!

1- Me holding the completed recipe:

 2- You wanted to see some friends in the background - I am giving you my friends in the front row!

3- You want to see ears in there... YOU GOT IT!

Now that have fulfilled all your requirements I am expecting you will hold the end of the bargain by personally sending me a letter of commendation and devotion.  I know it takes around 3 months to get a response from you but I am looking forward to get it in the mail so I can have the right to brag, and trust me I will with your letter in my hands. 

 I am enclosing a stamped return envelope with my address.  Beside my letter I also would like to have an autographed picture.

BTW, I truly enjoyed you show No Reservations and I am bit sadden to see it end.  Thankfully I am looking forward to watch you new show "The layover".

Best of luck and keep what you are doing best.

Truly yours,

Anne
