DISCLOSURE - Bourdain, No Reservations, and The Travel Channel do not pay me for the love I give them week over week. I do it because I am a big fan of the show, and because I hope someone will recognize this fresh new voice in the blog-o-sphere and send me on assignment somewhere to screen test a new show they are developing. And if they aren’t developing a new show I have the perfect one for you. It’s called Tripped Up. Here’s the pitch - a married couple picks something to go to, say The Kentucky Derby in, well, Kentucky or the Festa di San Marco, in Venice where every year is the gondola races.

They take you with them along their journey from point A to point Z and explore the nooks and crannies of life along the way. Traveling as a couple is very different than traveling the world alone, if you consider traveling with a camera crew and stylist alone. It’s no longer just your agenda, and you get to discover things, the good and the bad about travelling together. And in the process of sharing with the viewing audience, which hopefully would be couples considering taking similar trips (think product placement, sponsorships, packages all neatly bound in blogs, webisodes and landing pages), you learn a thing or three about yourself, each other, and that crazy little thing called love.

Oh yeah, Bourdain, Monday night at 10pm EST on the Travel Channel. He goes to Uruguay with his brother and they eat a bunch stuff. Like meat. Watch it. Then have your people call my people.
