Ann Arbor, Mich. – The eager faces of a near-capacity crowd beamed beneath the Michigan Theater's pre-war marquee Saturday night, filling the concourse and spilling out onto the sidewalk of Liberty Street. Amid the bustle of Michigan Football post-game traffic and the annual University parents’ weekend, the spectacle took center stage in the city’s downtown.
The iconic letters of the bill clued-in any passerby on the commotion: “An Evening with Anthony Bourdain.”
“I’m a WUOM [Michigan Radio] nut,” said Jackie of Dexter (who declined to give her last name).
“We all watch Bourdain,” she said.
Jackie arrived with her friend Judy (who declined to give her last name as well). The two share a love of cooking.
Judy, also of Dexter, like so many others awaiting the internationally acclaimed chef and host of the Travel Channel’s smash-hit “No Reservations,” wasn’t sure what to expect from the talk.
