This is a travel and
food show with Anthony Bourdain as the host. He visits exotic and interesting cities around the
world. The chefs of different
restaurants teach him about the local cuisine and culture. Anthony is a chef in New York but he’s
leaving the restaurant behind to explore new experiences. He’s looking for tastes and smells
because these are his memories. He
has also written a book on this same subject titled A Cook’s Tour; In Search of
the Perfect Meal.
This series is very
interesting and Bourdain eats many unusual items. Some things that I am not interested in eating no matter how
much he enthuses over them!! I
think that no one could possibly eat the amount he does in one day but you
can’t tell the span of the filming? The different areas he visits are unusual and
beautiful. He also meets different
local people in every area. 3 ½*

Special
Note: This series was originally
aired on the Food Network and there is a second season of 2003. Bourdain also had a series titled No
Reservations airing on the Travel Channel network. This season was filmed in Tokyo, Japan Vietnam, Cambodia,
Portugal, Spain, France, Morocco, Russia, Mexico, California, New York,
Scotland and London. Bourdain
passed away from a suicide on June 8, 2018. He was staying at the LeChambard hotel in Kayersberg,
France. He had been traveling with
his friend Eric Ripert and he had been working on an episode of Parts Unknown
in nearby Strasbourg. The suicide
appeared to have been an impulsive act?
The Bourdain was a heavy smoker of two packs a day, a former user of
cocaine, heroin and LSD. I don't know how he maintained his sense of taste and smell since he smoked so much?
