I heard a radio interview with Bourdain and Ted Nugent (who also appeared on Bourdain’s TV show). Bourdain mentioned his political beliefs. I’m pretty sure on the TV show with Nugent that he said his liberal friends back in New York would be p’d off with that association. As far as what he said about Reagan, I seem to recall him saying at that point in time (during Reagan’s Presidency...).
Bourdain is clearly a liberal, but I enjoy his shows.
