Mondays: 10:00PM. Travel Channel. Anthony Bourdain, No Reservation. http://travel.discovery.com/fansites/bourdain/bio/bio.html
The funniest travel show out there. Similar to Globe Trekker but with more edge to it. The best episode so far is when he travel to Vietnam and hung out with some of the local officials It was hilarious.
Here is a brief web rip of Chef Bourdain’s bio. Obviously a talented and funny individual.
Biography: If I may quote right from the book as the good chef describes himself during his post high school days..."I was a spoiled, miserable, narcissistic, self-destructive and thoughtless young lout, and badly in need of a good ass-kicking". And then it started to go downhill from there (my words). Born in New York in 1956, Anthony Bourdain began his journey as a dishwasher (he needed the money) and was so moved by the events at a wedding reception that took place at his first restaurant that he decided to become a chef (see chapter 2, titled "Food is Sex".) He enrolled at the CIA, and graduated to a career that can only be described as amazing. He is now executive chef at Brasserie Les Halles in New York City. Chef Bourdain is also the author of two novels, "Gone Bamboo" and "Bone in the Throat" (Canongate). His first non-fiction work, "Kitchen Confidential" (Bloomsbury) caught the attention of the public, and is must reading for members of the hospitality industry (for all kinds of reasons), This is a book that will make you laugh; make you wonder; and will possibly scare the hell out of you. Please be advised that "Kitchen Confidential" is not for everyone.
