Wanna Be in a Commercial?
DCist spotted this camera crew at 13th and U Streets just now. A producer told us they're filming a promo for The Travel Channel's Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations around the U Street area until about 4 p.m. today, and looking for people on the street to appear in the spot. No speaking is required - they're mostly asking people to hold up signs they've made that promote the show. The crew is camped out at popular coffee shop Mocha Hut right now, but they'll be hopping around to different U Street locations for the next couple of hours, including Ben's Chili Bowl. And no, Bourdain himself isn't here. Sigh.

I'd show up with my "EAT ME" sign, but I lost it at the pro-life rally.
hilarious monkeyrotica
I think Bourdain is a total fox and wish I could go participate. Unfortunately, work prevails.
Sigh.
Does this mean they're actually gonna film in DC this season? I mean, it's not as exotic as Laos, but we've probably got more rodents per capita. Plus we're at least as interesting as Jersey and Cleveland...
Could just be DC is convenient to the Discovery Channel HQ (they own/run the Travel Channel). Aren't they in Silver Spring or something?
Wow, my house might be on tee-vee. Then I can hang a sign "As seen on..." Better call that guy back about re-painting the trim.
my old house (the 13th street rowhouse formerly known as 'castle-fun-fun') looks like it could make it in this shoot. that'd be nice...
