By now, anyone who has even a passing interest in Anthony Bourdain, New Nashville or what Anthony Bourdain has to say about New Nashville has likely watched the Oct. 2 episode of Bourdain’s CNN program Parts Unknown. In the ep, Bourdain takes a whirlwind tour of some Nashville institutions (debatably?), including Bolton’s Spicy Chicken and Fish, The Catbird Seat and Patterson House, Dino’s, Dandgure’s, Pinewood Social, City House and more.

Bourdain had as his de facto Music City tour guides some familiar faces — Josh Habiger (Pinewood Social, Catbird, Patterson), Allison Mosshart (The Kills, The Dead Weather) and her chef brother Matthew, Pat Martin (Martin’s Bar-B-Que), Jesse Boyce (Sovereign Music Group), and more. Much ado was made of how native Nashvillians are rare around here, of how Music Row sucks but dive bars and garage rock are cool, of how Southerners are hospitable.

But here’s my question for you, Bites readers: Did Bourdain & Co. get it right?

Unfortunately, if you don’t have cable, you probably can’t watch this Parts Unknown episode in full — and I of course would never advocate watching the show via an illegal streaming service like, I dunno, Putlocker or something. (There are clips available via CNN.) But I’ve caught very diverse feedback from the locals who did manage to watch. Some think Parts got it right. Some think Parts got it very wrong. So how about you?

Television programs like this one are, by their very nature, reductive. A city as rich in history and cultural diversity as Nashville can’t possibly be adequately summed up in 44 (or so) minutes of television.

Yes, the show touched on the rich history of African-American music that came out of Jefferson Street clubs, but the segment was smashed up against a segment about gentrification in a manner that felt rushed and lacked context (and they could have mentioned that the street's demise came at the hands of AN INTERSTATE THROUGH IT). Sure, it’s cool that they went to Bolton’s rather than the newer, shinier hot-chicken peddler (Hattie B’s) or the more widely revered hot-chicken originator (Prince’s), but what did we really learn? Yes, it’s rad that Bourdain hung out with Mosshart and her Dead Weather bandmates Jack White, Dean Fertita and “Little” Jack Lawrence, but the show leaned awfully hard on Third Man recommendations. (But who can fault them for loving Margo Price so much?) Fine, it’s somewhat cool that they dipped into dive-bar culture, but didn’t Dino’s and Duke’s feel a little bit like tokens? Where were the people who aren’t famous? Where were the other chefs?

All of those things considered, here’s something to keep in mind: These Parts Unknown episodes aren’t produced with the locals in mind. They’re made for the people who aren’t from here. So even though “Nashville isn’t just country music!” is a trope so ancient and exhausting that a local music journalist like yours truly finds himself nauseated every time he hears it (and trust me, I’ve heard it thousands of times over the past decade), at least Bourdain hammered the point home.

Tell me how you feel.
