So it's been downgraded. I guess the Fincher movie based on Kitchen Confidential completely fizzled.

I consider Bourdain a reckless, but inspired gourmand, with a relaxed self deprecating wit that makes me chuckle everytime. I've eaten a bunch of times at noisy, informal Les Halles... good old fashion French diner food... but haven't spotted him yet... of course, I'm usually not out to see him... I'd rather just concentrate on the confit de canard...

he found out about this show through the news. They had no intention on contacting him for consultancy purposes. This does not bode well for the show.....

ps. where are the sweaty mexicans?

The Bourdain hater has entered the room.

Hmmm, love Bourdain, but the cast of this show looks like caca.

I liked his Chef's Tour show a lot. My favorite quote: "When Tony gets hungry...Things DIE!"

La Halles is the ghetto bootleg version. Substitute the duck with NYC flying rat pigeon. Foie gras? Spam and spam jsim will do just fine. Sear it lightly for 2 minutes on a take-out aluminium tray from your local greasy ass immigant Chinese foods place....

Don't miss the premiere of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Monday, July 25, at 10 p.m. ET/PT!

Best-selling author, reluctant food celebrity guy, culinary adventurer, drinker, smoker, hedonist ... the list of descriptors could go on and on. But one thing is certain: In this food-obsessed world, Anthony Bourdain has carved out a distinct place as a gastronomic Indiana Jones. His quest for the perfect dining experience was smartly documented in his television series and book, A Cook's Tour. And now Bourdain's journey is shifting to the next course.

In Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, his journey takes him to people and places far beyond the realm of food. Following his wanderlust will take the audience to far-out and familiar places, from Iceland to New Zealand and Paris to New Jersey.

Anthony Bourdain is and has been a professional chef and writer for more than three decades, and his point of view will always reflect that experience. But in Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, this anti-celebrity chef is out of the kitchen ... on the road ... no holds barred.

Bourdain travels the world seeking the authentic experiences and food that flavor the world's cultures. Join him on his journey. Tune in for No Reservations, his new series on the Travel Channel.
