Alright, so here's a new show narrated and hosted by Anthony Bourdain. It's called The Layover. It's similar to No Reservations but different. Anthony basically has 24-30 hours during his layover to try out various foods around the city. This show is setup to be more of a "proper" travel guide for people who are here on a short whim. Who wants the best food in the city without wasting much of their time. I quite enjoy it.

[Meowjin]

He talks about new york so fucking much. He's worse than Marvel in that sense.

The Singapore and Montreal Episode are awesome.

[bbbj]

I must agree the singapore episode was pretty awesome and the croatia episode of his newest season of No Reservations currently airing makes me really want to go there lol

[SkinnyPupp]

Sweet gotta watch the HK ep

[hamsup]

Its not that new... but the singapore airport ftw ! ahaha

[sonick]

Love me some Bourdain.

[Hondaracer]

No reservations is awsome, gonna have to check this out

[infin8]

Bourdain is the man. Thanks for the links

[LSF22]

omg :sweetjesus::megusta:

I miss all the s'porean food :(

Singapore/Malay food meet up brah! :alonehappy:

[OTG-ZR2]

Cool series.

I've always liked Anthony's shows.

[Slifer]

Fuck I wanna go back to Singapore!

[pintoBC_3sgte]

Sofa King Awesome! thanks man! lol told the wife i wanted to go to Singapore , asked why, told her for the food.... haha the discussion stopped there :P

[Slif]

And here I thought you wanted to take me out for roast goose because you had seen the show!

[pintoBC_3sgte]

Finished watching them all today, wish he did more than 10 episodes

[pastarocket]

Great TV series. -gotta try those L.A. restaurants that Anthony recommended.

Singapore food is awesome! That airport has gotta be the best in the world. Superslides, free movies, and reclining chairs. :)

[Ronin]

I've seen all the episodes so far. I think Amsterdam and HK were the highlights for me.

[waddy41]

so hungry....

[SkinnyPupp]

Watched the first part of the HK episode. IT's good that they are respecting that "Hong Kong is Not Really China", one of the few shows to do that. They even interviewed a local who brought it up passionately, which was a nice touch.

Then he goes to call "yin yeung" in mandarin :facepalm:

He was just pronouncing the name of the drink in English instead of saying "coffee with tea". The pronunciation is correct in English, which would be like saying Beijing instead of Peking.

[Jer3]

watching the singapore episode makes me kind of miss the food. i dont think theres a place in vancouver to eat min jiang kway or chwee kuay. also the chicken rice in vancouver really isnt comparable to singaporean chicken rice. hate how they use drumstick/chicken breast/thigh meat deboned in most places here. good thing i have a mother that can cook all of it :fullofwin:

also some good times in the geylang. can't forget eating nasi lemak one night and walking to grab a bus and getting grabbed by a bunch of persistent china hookers that wouldnt leave me alone lol

[SkinnyPupp]

He was just pronouncing the name of the drink in English instead of saying "coffee with tea". The pronunciation is correct in English, which would be like saying Beijing instead of Peking.
But he was translating from mandarin to english, not cantonese to english. To use your analogy, it would be more like referring to Hong Kong as "Xiang gang" throughout the show, instead of "Hong Kong".

and he said it tasted terrible.

I can't live without that shit (the cold version at least)

[SkinnyPupp]

It's all I ever drink, unless the place has really good milk tea.

[winson604]

Tasting terrible would be a compliment but the dude said it tasted VILE! I was like common dude it ain't that bad is it. My preference is always the cold milk tea but once in a while a good mixed one is not too shabby.

[Ronin]

Highly recommend this season (8) of No Reservations...some of the best episodes he's ever done. Episode 05 about Cook It Raw is awesome.

[Hondaracer]

^ do you watch it on TV? if so where?

[Tim Budong]

and he said it tasted terrible.

its an acquired taste
I cant live without HK MilkTea...I either have coffee or MT..whichever is first

[Ronin]

^ do you watch it on TV? if so where?

Travel Channel? It's on Discovery too.

I just download them though.

[6793026]

NY sucks, that eposide was all over the place. HK was ok and Singapore was decent.

[Hondaracer]

It's basically the same thing as no reservations

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah I watched the rest of the episode, and HK was okay... I liked the interviews with the locals. There were some weird things like saying they were in Mong Kok for dim sum,at Tim Ho Wan, when they filmed at the Sum Sui Po location :fulloffuck:

Anyway it was still cool but I wouldn't use this as a food guide while traveling.. maybe as something to get you started in researching places. The host is pretty funny

[StylinRed]

heard this was good finally checked it out its alright

not a fan of the HK ep but the singapore and rome ones are pretty good we should have a pizza place like that guys they looked tasty

the london ep lived up to the stigma of there being no good food there lol even though he tried to break that belief :lol

[sonick]

It's basically the same thing as no reservations

Not really, they give more advice (e.g. how to get to the city from the airport, hotels to stay at, best ways to get around the city) and also go to places that are more accessible/common (no private dinners in some private tuscan villa made by some grandmother)

[JesseBlue]

was watching the singapore episode but those damn contraception ads are annoying...

[skyxx]

Bad news. Anthony Bourdain has left Travel Channel for CNN. That means No Reservations and The Layover is dead. He will have his own show on CNN similar to No Reservations but I highly doubt it since it's CNN.

On a separate note here's No Reservations Seaon 8 Episode 8 (Penang). Latest Episode as of this week.

CNN = bigger budget & better connections around the world = win

[skyxx]

We'll see. haha It won't be shown till next year.

[Lomac]

Yeah, I heard about this a few days ago. I'm a big fan of No Reservations (haven't had a chance to sit down and watch Layover yet), and will be a little sad that it's over. That said, I'm curious to see how his new show over on CNN will go. CNN's ratings have been dropping like a stone lately, so hopefully a nicely budgeted, food-oriented show will help them. However, I think CNN may tame down some of the stuff he loves to say on No Reservations, which would be a shame. He's not crude like what's-his-face from Hell's Kitchen, but he has enough of an edge that it seems a little more "real" than typical food shows.

[skyxx]

Alright guys, Season two of the layover is out. I posted all of the episodes that are aired on the first page.

I actually watched HK and Singapore layover before I went to both places lol. It was somewhat useful in terms of what he likes to eat. I went to Tim Ho Wan, but the Central one which was less busy, hawker centres, etc etc.

I wonder if he will do a Van episode..

Isn't that show donezo cause he moved to CNN?

[skyxx]

They might change the name of it but they will have something similar to it. Since it's "Zero Point Zero Productions" that's producing these shows for Travel Channel, and Anthony is signed under them so they will most likely retain these shows in similar shape and form.

[shawnly1000]

His show on CNN will be called "Parts Unknown" and I think Zero Point Zero will be producing it as well

[skyxx]

Trailer for parts unknown. ;)

Anthony Bourdain previews new CNN show - YouTube
