New season of No Reservations kicks off tonight
Jan 5th, 2009 at 12:30PM:
The holidays are inevitably a time of excess. LIke many of you, I spent the last two weeks eating and drinking my way through way too many parties and get-togethers, and I'm feeling a bit of a holiday-induced hangover at the moment. Thankfully, starting today, I can now redirect my guilt at overindulgence away from myself and project it onto somebody else - Anthony Bourdain. Everyone's favorite ...
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
Jul 7th, 2008 at 10:00AM: One of the few reasons that I kept a television for so long was for Anthony Bourdain's Travel and Food show No Reservations. Airing on the travel channel every Monday, No Reservations always seemed to me to be a real travel show, shot from the streets in places that you or I might visit, and for some reason, seemed to have a streak of authenticity and candidness to it. Perhaps that's why it's so ...
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
Jul 30th, 2007 at 8:30AM: Anthony Bourdain, author, traveler, and host of Travel Channel's No Reservations, joins us this week for another round of Gadling's Talking Travel. Mr. Bourdain was born in New York City, where he attended the Culinary Institute of America. He became executive chef at the famous New York City French restaurant, Brasserie Les Halles, and wrote the critically acclaimed and New York Times ...Sanitized Travel
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 ...
