Hi Aziz,

After looking at your instagram in regards to the “Flo Rida Theory of Acquired Likability Through Repetition” as I imagine your book is supposed to appeal to both sexes, do you speculate an obstacle if one sex is less likely to understand or learn of it? Whether or not they read that passage, do you think that there will be an imbalance of which sex will be more open to being exposed to many people by dating for longer durations, or do you think that it is unbiased?

Also, from foodie to foodie, I thought you were great in Bourdain-produced “The Getaway” where you went to Hong Kong for your culinary adventure. As I understand, you’ve enjoyed your time at another Asian culinary epicenter, Tokyo. Did you happen to see the “The Getaway” Tokyo episode with Nat Faxon and Jim Rash? Although they were trying to be comical, I felt that they blew it when they really didn’t cover most of Tokyo’s culinary delights such as the high end Sushi in Ginza (Sukiyabashi Jiro for example) as they were too busy joking around about being in Tokyo. My point being is that Anthony Bourdain’s production company should have given you another ticket to Tokyo straight from Hong Kong after you’ve filmed that episode.

On another related matter, with Bourdain taking a more serious, and more of a sociopolitical aspect approach to his show “Parts Unknown”; like Jimmy Fallon did with Jay Leno, you should become the next travel host solely covering the culinary highlights of different countries like what Bourdain used to do with his other show, “No Reservations”.

**tl;dr

Will guys or women, or perhaps equally, be more open to your “Flo Rida Theory of Acquired Likability Through Repetition”?

  1. Call Bourdain’s Production company ZPZ Productions for a First Class ticket to do another, more culinary centric Tokyo episode of “The Getaway”.

  2. I think you should become the next “Bourdain” where you should eat delicious nom noms around the world!**
