Explore five cities with a "bad rap"
Oct 29th, 2009 at 11:30AM: I grew up in Detroit. I love my city and will be the first tell anyone who thinks it's nothing but a boarded up hellhole just how wrong they are. But I know Detroit's bad rap comes not only from suburb-dwellers and business travelers who just breezed through, but also from the media that portrays it as a city with nothing to offer other than casinos and a punchline. But maybe the tide is changing. ...Ten places to eat in Seattle
Oct 21st, 2009 at 12:30PM:
I lived in Seattle for two years, and I'd venture a guess that if the 16,000 or so hours I spent there were broken down, a good 10,000 of them would have been spent eating my way around the city. Based on my highly scientific research (aka, trying nearly every restaurant in town), here are my picks for the top places in Seattle every food-loving tourist should try.

There's a special joy that comes with losing yourself in a good book while relaxing on a beach. The warm sun on your skin, the sand between your toes, and the sound of waves gently breaking on the shore create the perfect environment for shrugging off your cares and ...Sokolowskis University Inn, a Cleveland eatery that wowed Bourdain
Jan 27th, 2009 at 3:00PM: Recently, when I was relishing my meatloaf with a side order of pierogis and sauerkraut in between bites of my daughter's stuffed cabbage rolls and my husband's coconut cake, I didn't know that I was having an Anthony Bourdain experience in Cleveland--kind of. I didn't eat the head cheese or the chicken paprikash, two of the dishes Bourdain also ate when he made his Sokolwski's University Inn stop ...Win an autographed Anthony Bourdain poster! (Part II)
Jan 26th, 2009 at 2:30PM: Two questions. You like to win free stuff, right? And have you heard of this guy Anthony Bourdain (he's some sort of food show host apparently)? Alright, if the answer to either of the previous two questions is yes, Gadling has got your back. In what can only be described as deja vu, we're giving away yet another Anthony Bourdain No Reservations poster, autographed by the man himself. As you ...Beef brain tacos and Haggis - eating the foods that scare you
Jan 26th, 2009 at 9:00AM: The past week has been an interesting one for me, food-wise. Last Monday I had a chance to sample a Mexican "beef brain" taco (de cabeza) and this weekend I found myself unexpectedly eating a plate of Haggis. You know - the Scottish dish made with a stomach-churning mixture of sheep's lungs, heart and liver mixed with spices and boiled in the casing of a sheep stomach? Yeah, that Haggis. While I ...10 travel read suggestions for the road
Jan 12th, 2009 at 5:30PM: Ben Groundwater points out in his Sydney Morning Herald post "Travel Reads for the Road" that a good book is a wonderful companion to have while traveling. Not only can reading help fill up down time in a satisfactory way, a good book can enhance travel experiences.
In his post Groundwater lists ten perfect for travel books that range from serious to humorous and fiction to non-fiction. These ...New season of No Reservations kicks off tonight
2008's best travel writing
Dec 22nd, 2008 at 4:00PM: While browsing my local Barnes & Noble earlier this week, I stumbled upon a display of The Best American Series - a collection of books recapping the year's best writing. Among the collection is a travel-themed edition, curated this year by travel "badboy" Anthony Bourdain. Gadling has given great reviews to these anthologies in years past, so I decided to pick up a copy. As a fledgling travel ...Dining with Iron Chef Michael Symon at Lolita in Cleveland
Nov 23rd, 2008 at 2:30PM: Until last Sunday, I wasn't sure who Iron Chef Michael Symon is. Now, I do. My first introduction came with tickets to the Fabulous Food Show in Cleveland--my friend's pick.
Symon, who is from Cleveland, was one of the featured chefs who put on a show to an audience filled with foodies. While we stood in line like some sort of sheep waiting to claim our reserved seats, I still wasn't clear about ...China coverage on Travel Channel

Jul 30th, 2008 at 10:00AM: Location: it's a Bourdain family vacation to Uruguay, the hidden secret of South America. Quietly tucked between beach-strewn Brazil and boisterous Argentina, Uruguay is the unsung hero of grilled meats, beautiful scenery and a quintessential "laid-back" lifestyle. Episode Rating: Four bloody meat cleavers out of five. The cleavers are extra bloody this week from the insane amount of meat Tony ...Enter to win an autographed Anthony Bourdain No Reservations poster!

Jul 15th, 2008 at 3:00PM: Location: This week Anthony is in Colombia, a country that finds itself the setting of one of South America's most remarkable transformations. In the 25 years since the death of Pablo Escobar, one of the world's most notorious drug lords, this once war-torn country has emerged like a phoenix from the scars of the past. Colombia offers Tony a tantalizing mix of cultures, delicious food and ...Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations starts up season 4
What David Letterman wants to know about Anthony Bourdain and weird food
Mar 25th, 2008 at 10:20AM: As soon as Anthony Bourdain of "No Reservations" sat down on David Letterman's TV show couch, I perked up wondering what Letterman would dish out about the food Bourdain eats on his travels since Justin asked Bourdain some questions last June in a Talking Travel interview. Here are highlights of Letterman's banter.
"Do you get sick? Get hepatitis? Throw up?" asked Letterman.
"Only twice," said ...Talking Travel with Anthony Bourdain

Jan 18th, 2007 at 6:01PM: At the risk of talking ad nauseum (yuck, yuck) about getting sick while traveling, National Geographic's Traveler magazine has a good article this month with the pros and cons of eating street foods versus avoiding local cuisines.
On one hand, they quoted an infectious disease expert and a CDC travel health specialist as saying that, while some folks may be naturally predisposed to intestinal ...
