Anthony Bourdain: Sem Reservas

It is interesting and very entertaining. You don't expect some things and the insights about foreign culture are original when compared to other shows. Sure some things are said with sarcasm or hyperbole, but that s how he writes his narrative.

Cool show. Cool guy. The production values are good BTW. Remember, in these types of narrated shows most stuff is intentional.

The show is original and every episode is different. See the episode on Russia if you want to see the show at its best.

Final rating: 10 out of 10 and the best show on the travel channel for all the above reasons.

Don't get me wrong- I love this series. I loved cooks tour too. The raw talent of Bourdain, the way he reacts, his absolute mantra to be a traveler not a tourist is not just some press B.S.. If you never read another book in your life, read Kitchen confidential-there is no way you'll be disappointed. The language is tough-but- better yet buy the book and get it on CD as well-Bourdain on CD is almost as good as watching "no Reservations" only with out the censors. He does have a potty mouth- but then so does the entire restaurant business.I have the first season of No Reservations on DVD and as usual, Bourdain does not let you down.. Can't wait for the season 2 DVD's to get done.. Enjoy!

...is the lead ingredient of this show about people, using the food as a sort of pretext. A charming host, but far to be polite. A trip who do not gives suggestions for travels but essence of places, flavors of lands, right perspectives and honest impressions. A show about profound meanings of the world near, around and not real far by us.

You know why this is the best travel show on TV ever? Well, maybe 'cause it literally doesn't follow any other rules in guidebook which makes all of the travel shows seem fancy..

I am not saying gourmet food is bad or traveling in a schedule is bad. But, Anthony Bourdain truly shows the audience how to enjoy each & every aspect of the place you visit.

While nearly covering every inch of the globe during the show's telecast this is one of a kind traveling show you don;t wanna miss if you are a foodie, traveler or just looking for some relaxing entertainment on your TV set after a long day at work with a cold beer in hand (just keep the local restaurant on speed dial)..

Summary:- Best fu**ing travel show in TV history & Bourdain is da man..

I'll make this short. 'No Reservations' is and was a better show than Bourdain's final show on CNN, before his death called, 'Parts Unknown.' No Reservations doesn't have the same quality in production as 'Parts Unknown,' which was more cinematic and breathtaking, but 'No Reservations' was lighter, more comedic, still informative, but better serving audiences. It was Bourdain at his best. 'Parts Unkown' get's heavy and depressing, 'No Reservations' is the perfect balance of investigative journalism and history lesson with comedy and playfulness.
