Thoughts on Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown in Detroit?

Because, Spartan, Detroit is virtually unknown to everyone in the country besides the ruin porn that people like Bourdain apparently like to showcase. No one outside of Detroit knows about Eastern Market. They just think that the whole city looks like an excerpt from the Terminator.

See, that's just BS. Eastern Market 2 million plus visitors every year, and is the largest farmers market in the country. The show is meant to show lesser known parts of the places he visits [[hence the name). Eastern Market, The Whitney, Coach Insignia, etc do not fit that bill in any way. Look at the places he went. I've heard of almost none of them, and I probably know Detroit better than most of my friends that live in the area [[city or burbs). The show is not meant to be a report on popular establishments.
