Could you learn a thing or two about travel and food writing? Jessa Crispin, the Bookslut, interviews Anthony Bourdain:

With all of the traveling and work on the shows, how do you get new writing done? I write a lot for the show. I'll double-dip a lot, like I'll go to Singapore for the book tour, inevitably I'll meet a lot of food journalists and chefs and we'll get drunk until four in the morning with local chefs and cooks and ex-pats who have been out there a long time, they'll show me around, I'll go back and do a TV show, and then I'll go back and write about it. And often do all of those things at the same time. I don't even know what I do for a living anymore. I already wrote my whole life story. I'm not going to write Kitchen Confidential 2.

I write a novel every few years. I have a novel coming out next year. Some point after that I'm moving to Asia to write about it. To me, the travel’s good. It eats up a lot of time, but it gives me a lot to write about and think about.
