If you ever had a chance to check out Anthony Bourdain’s 2001-2002 Food Network television show entitled “A Cook’s Tour”, you’ll know that Mr. Bourdain loves to travel to beautifully exotic places all over the world to sample the local food and culture. Although “A Cook’s Tour” was canned after two seasons, the Travel Channel (airing on DirecTV channel 277, with Video On Demand on channel 1277) was smart enough to give him another great show along this same vein entitled “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations”.
Anthony Bourdain, a great chef himself, fascinates home satellite television viewers all over the world. Not only does he find culinary treasures in the United States, his farther travels have sent him across to the globe to places like Sicily, Italy (where he met with Sicily’s president), Thailand, Ghana, Romania, Laos, Ireland, and Shanghai, just to name a few. He has since received critical acclaim for an episode chronicling his journey to Beirut that landed him a nomination for a 2007 Emmy Award for “Outstanding Informational Programming”.
Besides being an extremely personable, educated, and very brave soul when it comes to eating bizarre insect-related dishes, Anthony Bourdain is a great host. He also has famous friends to bring along, such as the much-lauded author Chuck Palaniuk, the UK band Morcheeba, George Pelecanos, and fellow bizarre food enthusiast Andrew Zimmern, ensuring that every episode is entertaining, informative and fun.
It seems that the fun won’t be ending soon either, with future seasons already slated and Bourdain’s online blog has stated that he’s planning to take his stomach and film crew to Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Melbourne, and Chile to new a few. And for those that enjoy DirecTV’s channels that specialize in cooking or travel, you can get both with this Travel channel exclusive.
