No Reservations

This show, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, is one of my favorite shows of all time. Similar to Andrew Zimmern's Bizzarred Food, he travels around the world but instead of finding strange(sometimes terrifying) meals, he explores the world of great cooks. Unlike most shows, stripped from "real-life" experiences and completely scripted, Anythony Bourdain has no shame in devouring a whole plate of food, in minutes-with sauce dripping out of his mouth, in the middle of a jam-packed fancy restaurant. What's interesting is that he, sometimes, goes overboard with his random outburst and if taken too seriously, could be mistaken as rudeness. For me, not only is he sincere, I like the fact that he is completely free-spirited when absorbing other cultures. If you watch the show, you'll notice that Bourdain can be shockingly blunt at times, which is exactly how some of us are whenever we encounter unfamiliar food. We, sometimes, spit and say inappropriate things, to a certain extent of course, but we don't mean that in a disrespectful manner. You should check it out if you haven't seen it. Also, try reading one of his book, The Nasty Bits, and you'll appreciate the show even more.
