Provoke the nerds: "#2 showed a remarkably precise understanding of the internet. The question at hand was how to find good restaurants, and Bourdain's answer was to take the city you want to go to and just google up some restaurant names that serve the dish you're after. Then got to chowhound or another foodie site, and rather than asking about restaurants, you put up an enthusiastic post talking about how you just had the best whatever you're looking for at one of these restaurants.

More seriously, it's usually unnecessary to provoke anyone, as it's generally true that any given time there's a nerdfury in progress on most any subject you're interested in.
