Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

I was surprised to see so many negative reviews some even stating the he is "racist". To each his own I guess... I love Parts Unknown because it goes beyond food, he shows the way the locals live and their daily lives with eating their food. I have found him relatively impartial politically, he lets the people he meets in their respective countries speak for themselves. It seems that anyone having an aversion to CNN and knowing that before they watch automatically has a 1 star rating of him. I had now idea he was before reading the reviews and found that surprising. Much more than a food show, and I think that makes the show overall well rounded and always fascinating.

Such an enjoyable insight into many cultures and food from countries far and close to home. Very sadly Anthony is no longer with us. But I'm glad I found this gem of a series on Netflix after watching his older one 'No Reservations' and enjoying it

This storm known as Bourdain, blew away my livingroom and changed how I view, television forever. The respect and honesty you brought in each show together with your personality made your work so unique. You made your shows recognicible: We share a good and honest conversation, while sharing food. And that is universal. You made a show about this simpel fact. There is only 1 Bourdain. Let there be Light J.C.!

Do you like to travel and experience local culture and cuisine but lack the financial means to do so? Then try Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. Each episode Anthony takes you meet the locals and their take on the culture while experiencing the flavours of the land and the interesting people and the breathtaking views. Anthony will be missed but he left these wonderful experiences we can all enjoy.

A show escaping to definitions. Because each episode you feel. Food, talks, secrets, people and tradition, places and stories. Short- just magic. That kind of magic who defines, in profound sense, happiness, the simple happiness expected by each of us. The only serious word who I can say - I love it, remaining grateful to Anthony Bourdain for his splendid work.
