Bourdain tracking
No Reservations is done, The Layover is just about to start up again, and the buzz about Parts Unknown begins.
Bourdain tracking
Yesterday, we got a first look at a preview clip from Anthony Bourdain’s new CNN show, Parts Unknown, and it had nothing to do with food. (To be fair, it’s only a 30-second teaser, but it should still set the tone.) And last night, Bourdain made his first appearance on CNN to officially discuss the show, sitting down with Piers Morgan, where the conversation was far more food-centered. (Iceland’s famous fermented shark gets no love; Jiro Ono and Fergus Henderson do.) HuffPo has a clip (and write-up) from last night’s appearance here.
Of course, while Bourdain seems more than ready to be done with the Travel Channel, the Travel Channel is nowhere near done with him. Season two of The Layover—which will include an episode in Philly, though there’s no confirmation on a specific airdate yet—begins airing this coming Mon., Nov. 19 (9 p.m. on Travel; the premiere episode takes Tony to Chicago).
And while we're here, we'd just like to note that the David Chang-focused, Bourdain-produced and -narrated show The Mind of a Chef (which began airing this past Friday) is really engaging. Just further buttresses our firm belief that PBS has all the best food programming, and always will.
