Both appeal to me, as I have virtually no food fear, and can appreciate anything done well, with good ingredients.

Same here, mostly. I just enjoy Zimmern better because he comes off as a sincerely good guy. I should have said I love Bourdain's show, because I do. I watch it all the time. I'm just not crazy about him. If I had to spend a week with him, I imagine it'd end up with me wanting to smack him in the mouth for being a dick.
That's just my impression though. I do admire his work.
