New Season of 'Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations'

News Type: Opinion — Mon Jan 8, 2007 12:17 PM EST

No Reservations, Mondays 10pm ET/PT, Travel Channel.

New episodes of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations are now airing on Monday nights on the Travel Channel. Tony was trained at the Culinary Institute of America so this travel show often focusses on food and cooking.

Don't be a tourist, be a traveler. No Reservations is no ordinary travel show, Tony usually meets up with a local friend in the city or country that he is visiting who leads him around to show us how the average people live. For example in Malaysia a friend shows Tony around Kuala Lumpur where he visits a Hindu temple, later he gets a tattoo before they head into the jungle to visit some villagers. They are warmly welcomed and Tony is given the honor of slaughtering the pig for the big feast. I doubt that you will ever see Samantha Brown do anything like that.

Warning!

This show airs a parental advisory warning, usually it's DL (drugs, language). I would say that it is basically rated PG-13. Tony likes to smoke and he samples the alcoholic beverages wherever he travels. Occasionally there is a drug reference and he often uses salty language (he is a cook after-all) but I haven't seen any nudity yet.

In summary, if you like food or are just interested in seeing how ordinary people live in other countries then tune into Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Monday nights 10:00 pm ET/PT on the Travel Channel. Tonight Tony visits Ghana in Africa and next week he explores the Pacific Northwest of the United States.

What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

Yes; this is a good show.

"... and he samples the alcoholic beverages wherever he travels."

"Samples," nice way to put it.
"Tony drinks heavily every chance he gets," would be another way to put it. ;-]
(The man has no reservations.)
