I really have to thank Tony for this one. It not only warmed my heart to see the diversity of culture and quality of life in Saudi Arabia, but added it as a destination, should I ever travel outside of the Chicagoland area. I had originally thought that after I saw the dirt omelet get devoured, there was no way I could respect him more. I stand corrected. I reserved my opinion on some of the Middle-Eastern states until I got a broader view of the culture, not just the bleak downside that the news stations and Hollywood showed me daily. Anthony Bourdain has single-handedly made my day a little better, and my mind a little more open. Thank You

I have to truly say that I really enjoyed this show. It not only showcased what i've believe in this coulture, but it lets other culture know that not all of "them" are our enemy. I enjoy Dannia, she was a great host and a woman who does have a strong will power in a country such as hers. Thanks for bringing this to my television and allowing me to see more than my husband and I saw while we served in the military. I enjoyed it to the fullest. Oh by the way, when are you going to travel to the Dominican Republic? I don't believe seeing a show on this island....huh? Let me know and we'll hook up and go to the beach and Eat while we Swim.

This ep really showed his strength of character. He chose this assignmnet because it was the hardest of all his choices & he prefers a challange rather than smooth sailing. And he said something that will always be my motto -- "I don't have to agree with you to like you or respect you."

Thanks for the show in Saudi. The broasted chicken segment brought back some memories. Also, those lizards with the spiked tail used to scare me to death.

Horrible show. It showed nothing new about the culture & the culinary bits were lacking. Fried chicken ala the Colonel & an American style mall, amazing. How could he select a rep from the country with such a blase personality & no experience with the foods of her own country!!
