Anthony Bourdain in town?

There seems to have been some sightings of acerbic, bad-boy chef Anthony Bourdain in Baltimore today. Hmm, what could the star of the Travel Channel’s "No Reservations" be doing in Charm City?

Perhaps it has to do with an item on his Sept. 1 blog about the TV projects he is planning:

"And a Detroit/Buffalo/Baltimore hybrid show which (I hope) will pay low rent homage to Curtis Hansen, Vincent Gallo and John Waters respectively (There will NOT be a Pink Flamingos finale, however)."

But should we be worried about our culinary reputation? After all, this is the man who wrote, "Baltimore sucks. If you haven't been there, it's a fairly quaint excuse for a city," in his tell-all book "Kitchen Confidential."

Uh oh. I’m not feeling so good about his visit.
