While on the subject of Santey Clause...

You can thank baby Jesus and your lucky stars because next Monday December 6 is an all-new No Reservations Holiday Special. Although this isn't Bourdain's first Holiday Special, this year Tony drags in people like Mario Batali, David Chang, Pat LaFrieda, Duff Goldman, Marky Ramone, and an sock puppet called Mr. Socks. Don't know to much about this puppet but I'll do my research. Whatever his sidekick is, I will always ask Santa for a sit down diner with the handsome salt and pepper haired man.
