The premise

Anthony Bourdain had a glorious way of describing the human experience, especially when it revolved around food and drink. This project uses AI to write reviews of places, in his general style. No bot can compare to the real person, but AInthony BourdAIn sure can bring life to a description of a place or an experience.
