No Reservations - Anthony Bourdain
Wow, this was kind of weird...as I clicked to read this story about the new Travel Channel travel/food show featuring uber-chef Anthony Bourdain, I was hit with a full page ad for the program. I don't know if there's a conflict of interest issue there (the review is quite positive), but seems fishy.But that aside, the new show, called "No Reservations" features the gravelly-voiced, chain-smoking, hedonistic Bourdain as he gallivants across the globe in search of culinary nirvana. The first segment apparently has him quaffing absinthe in France and getting hammered on air. Now that's entertainment. Bourdain says that the name of the show, "No Reservations" means that "I just don't care what happens" (as opposed to meaning that they won't be visiting any Indians) ... an appealing tagline if ever there was one.

Anthony Bourdain is a refreshing image to us who grew up in the 70s. His chasing the perfect meal in exotic places is a great entertainment to me. I travel for a living and letting go of the formal schedule is a delight. His experiences show that life is an adventure. I would love to bring him to Panama and enjoy the food, drink, and life of central america at its best. Being an expat , this place has offerings unlike the rest of the world.

Greetings from Osaka, Japan.
I just saw the Mr. Anthony Bourdain's TV program accidentally, it was really interesting. On the TV, he seemed to feel a bit of confusion about Japanese style inn at the hot spring and set of dishes served on an individual tray for entertaining guests, though he is aware that At a Japanese style inn, a serving lady will bring dinner to your room. I think real blowfish stew would be very fine.
I think how come he did not come to Osaka..Because Osaka city is very famous as
a gourmet city. Mr. Anthony, please come overe here, I will take you very nice restaurants!

He is THE BEST! I have read his books and cookbook. A REAL No B.S. guy. I loved "A Cook's Tour" on the Food Channel and I wished I could get it on video or DVD. He travels like I do, go for the exploration and braoden your horizons. Be a Good Guest and you will always be welcome.
Thanks so much Mr. Bourdain
