Having been a subject of documentary/news type stuff a couple times, yeah, the way it gets put together is just like that.
Watching the "noddy shots" being filmed was pretty hilarious though.

The difference between his reading of Kitchen Confidential and Medium Raw is like night and day.

Medium Raw was completely different. It was like he grew up, had 2.5 kids and a mortgage or something.
Totally different vibe.

Yeah different vibe but also his narrator voice wasn't developed at all yet with Kitchen Confidential. I found it fascinating comparing the two readings. Also Chapter 3 of Medium Raw - where he eviscerates the idle rich - is maybe the funniest thing I've ever read in my life.
I'd read that as using normal audio out of context.
All documentaries lie. A lot, not just a little. Bourdain's shows were never an exact truth either.
It's a new interesting way to lie though, I guess it comes down to what were are ok being lied to about.
"We worked with four companies before settling on the best. We also had to figure out the best tone of Tony’s voice: His speaking voice versus his “narrator” voice, which itself changed dramatically of over the years. The narrator voice got very performative and sing-songy in the No Reservation years."
