That's really the problem of getting a socialite-type -- they're more interested in the accoutrements and the fancy trappings, rarely the food itself. Of that Pampanga trip, the kambing and the sisig were the only things that were true to its source -- nothing fancy-shmancy about it. Food for foodies' sake. I think Bourdain's people realized that what they're seeing is really not representative of the true foodie culture here, hence, the decision to excise other segments, namely, the visit to Gene Gonzales' resto.
