Help get Tony Bourdain to film No Reservations in Louisville

First pictures are up!

I got to post my picture first, and Jesse H-I has just posted another one. Everyone from HotBytes who joined the group, please take time to have your picture taken this week. We want the pictures to reach a critical mass before we start sending links to Bourdain's "people". If you need help posting, or just don't want to be bothered, just have the picture taken and then e-mail it to me - I'll do the rest!

Also on tap: A group photo at the Downs with the Jumbotron displaying our message. Stay tuned for details.

I do not have independent confirmation but I was told today in a meeting of folks who deal with the arts, events, festivals, etc. that Tony Bourdain will be here as part of IdeaFestival this Summer. I remembered this thread and thought this info might help rally your cause. Good Luck on your quest!

Thanks, Amy. I had heard September, I guess I need to track down the dates.

Frankly, though, it's been kind of a disappointment. Everyone signed up, and then literally almost nobody posted any of the photos for the photo campaign. *sigh* But I haven't given up yet.

Yes, you. I'm looking at all of you that signed up and then never posted a photo.

Bumpity Bump...

Well "He's" coming here and that's half the battle....

Here's the link again for those of you who don't want to read through this whole thread...

Swwwwwweet !!! Give our Marsha five minutes alone with Tony and it's a done deal. Not sure what the deal would be but it would be done

From all accounts, it looks like Fieri's looking into the project, so I doubt Tony would repeat

I wasn't able to generate enough momentum with our photo campaign, and the movement just sort of died away. Boo.

I'll still take five minutes alone with Tony, though - and a row of tequila shots!

Got my Ticket's...Really guy's.... We have a great food community here. What would be worthy of an hour of TV time? Think about stuff we have that nobody else has(besides bourbon)...KY Bison comes to mind...Anyone, Anyone...
