Synopsis

Bourdain travels across the globe to uncover little-known areas of the world and celebrate diverse cultures by exploring food and dining rituals. Known for his curiosity, candor, and acerbic wit, Bourdain takes viewers off the beaten path of tourist destinations – including some war-torn parts of the world – and meets with a variety of local citizens to offer a window into their lifestyles, and occasionally communes with an internationally lauded chef on his journeys.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
gamingfartokids I watch this show with my dad.. I only watched 1 episode but I loved it, it's perfect for geography lessons.. I remember watching either Nigeria, Kenya, or Ghana. I am sad that Bourdain died and can't make anymore. This is a very painful reality.
pecenka I felt this one of the better of his series over the years, and I have not always been a fan. My first inclination/thought was why do a country/backwoods place when there are so many awesome places in the US? Well, I was very wrong. My ethnocentric attitude made a judgement that this was backwoods and therefore not worthy of his usual. I was wrong. He (as he does) highlighted people in their natural light. We are all humans, and he proved this. The attitude issue was mine. Wonderful food, fun activities, engaging conversation and education. People are people, wherever he may be and he brings that out. It should serve as an awesome reminder to us all. Many thanks Anthony!
scotearle Most Asian places featured so far (Vietnam, Singapore, Shanghi) consume copious amounts of dog meat. I guess CNN thinks that most Americans would find this so disgusting that they would turn it off. Tony has made it clear that he has no moral problems with eating anything that moves or moved and has no problem with how the animal was kept before being slaughtered. He is into maximum taste. Nothing else matters. My point is that if the shows purports to give an overview of popular local cuisine, it should include dog meat and show how the dogs are tortured before being skinned alive. This is what you witness in Vietnam, not nice happy chefs butchering a pig that was killed humanely.
lameinvestor Very well done cooking, traveling, and current news programing. Antney does an excellent job introducing us to so many different types of foods, cultures, locals, et al. He really entices me to try all of these things and travel to all of these different places. He is excellent at bringing in a local and hanging out with them as though they were just good friends. You can tell he is authentic because it doesn't look like he's trying to hard. Bravo Antney... Impressive that CNN also brought this into their network and put a news spin on it... Very Very well done. I caught a few shows in a row on Libya, Burma, and LA Korea Town. All of these were fantastic. I was amazed that one person wanted to take Antney to Sizzler and he still went... shows that he is really listening to the locals no matter what they want to do. The Libya program and Burma were just amazing... a cook going around war torn areas... amazing.
