I mostly enjoyed this. He's got a knack for storytelling and has certainly lead an interesting life. I didn't like how many lists there were. Frequently he'd talk about meals and name 7 things they had, mostly in French. I get that this helps emphasize his knowledge and the breadth of the food he eats, but after the second time they stopped adding to the story. That, and the cursing. In an effort to describe the culture of the kitchen staff, he went into great deal of detail about how their insult structure worked. This was super interesting, but again the list of multilingual curses he'd stream to drive his point home were more annoying than anything else. But, that stuff aside I really enjoyed most of it.
