The "No Reservations" I Want To See Stars Anthony Bourdain

TV with MeeVee - Burlingame, CA, USA - "No Reservations" is a new movie starring Abigail Breslin as the winsome child who melts icy restaurateur Catherine Zeta-Jones' heart. It's getting mixed reviews. Slate says it's terrible, redeemed only by Abigail Breslin's stellar work, while BuzzSugar says it's actually quite good.

Bourdain I don't care. The "No Reservations" I want to see is the TV series on the Travel Channel, starring chef/writer/badass Anthony Bourdain. He travels the world in search of the ultimate gastronomic experience, whether that's curry in Rajasthan, noodles in Vietnam, or fermented shark in Iceland. A new season begins Monday, July 30th, with a trip to Shanghai.

Bourdain has spent a lot of time in kitchens all over the world, and it shows in the way he approaches eating and traveling as not just a pastime but a calling. Sure, he's been known to rub a lot of people the wrong way. If he were a doctor, he'd have the bedside manner of one Gregory House. But to be honest, it doesn't bother me at all. He's fun to watch, and seeing him eat inspires me to cook.
