Bourdain is back with Layover

One of the best ways to get inspiration for upcoming journeys is to watch entertaining hosts embark on their adventures. There are lots of great travel shows out there, but most of them are focusing on the same monuments and all too common sights at a destination.

This all changed when Anthony Bourdain entered the field. The day his first article got published in The New Yorker 1999, chefs suddenly became enabled to be rock stars. Apart from being a former chef, Bourdain is author of several books such as the influential Kitchen Confidential, A Cook’s Tour and Nasty Bits, but to a large audience probably best known from the series No Reservations.

Bourdain’s favorite place for Cacio e pepe in Trastavere, Rome.

For seven seasons he’s been traveling all over the globe while trying out strange food. One of my favorite episodes is when he goes to Rome with his wife Ottavia, the entire episode is all shot in black and white Fellini style with sardonic voice overlays by Bourdain.

On November 21, Anthony Bourdain returns with a new series called The Layover. Stay tuned.
