Hey! We’re smack in the middle of the big Florida Film Festival 2008 that runs from March 28th through April 6th!

Ok, well, what’s that got to do with this blog? Glad I asked. Well the theme this year is “Eat It Up!” … which has this really cool logo of a large fork and film tape lapping about the prongs of the fork as though spaghetti. And that would therefore explain why they’re selling limited-edition Andrew Bourdain T-shirts and exclusive art print posters too!

Wait wait, that’s not all, His Spicyness has also has a sold-out lecture series tomorrow night, Monday March 31st, at Carnegie Hall no less.

Wait, there’s more. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on a special “Anthony Bourdain Experience Package” of a private reception, a meeting with Bourdain, personally signed books and seating for six in the opera box was put up on eBay after the event sold out at the top of the month, and it went for $2,247.89 on eBay. “We never expected this great a response,” said Jayne Adair, director of the Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures series.

That’s right. He is on fire! He’s hot! He just ended this season of his “if it moves I’ll eat it” program, No Reservations a couple weeks ago. He was on the first episode of this season’s Top Chef and now he’s just every where else in huge demand.

In fact, and I think this is way cool on everyone’s part … He even let the Amateur Gourmet interview him about the Food Network (which he hates) and the Food Network is (extremely cool for them!) showing the video. Which we have right here for you!
