Alright the latest Anthony Bourdain Travel Series is out since his exit from Travel Channel. Here it is, Parts Unknown and its' first episode is Myanmar (Burma)

Here's the link to the first episode!

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Myanmar - CNN.com (http://www.cnn.com/video/shows/anthony-bourdain-parts-unknown/episode1)

[CP.AR]

good on CNN for making this watchable from all around the world!

[Sir_Loin]

Shits and bitches are dropped every now and then but fuck is still dropped from audio. Better than travel channel that bleeps everything.

[Marshall Placid]

Watched the second half of the first episode.

It was better than average and captivating.

I think that the exotic/never-before-seen locations is a big draw.

And, the emphasis on food and a little history on the country is a plus.

I will be watching this coming Sunday again.

[Sir_Loin]

Episode 2 is KoreaTown in LA, angle he's taking based from the previews is the re-building of KoreaTown after the 1992 LA riots. Preview also has him trying "halo-halo" from Jolibee haha.

[StylinRed]

hasn't he done korea town in his other shows?
as for this episode i find it in bad taste to be doing a show about food in burma given the ethnic violence going on there, might give it a watch later on... does anyone know if he touches on that issue?

another cnn series that im looking forward to is George Strombo's he got picked up by CNN to do 10 or so episodes interviewing people

Bad taste or not, I think the show is trying to be at least a little provocative.

Yes, he does mention a little about it, but never specifically saying "ethnic cleansing".

From ep 2 Bourdain at Jolibee

[Hondaracer]

I find these try alot harder go delve into ethnic issues/cultural stuff than no reservations, definately has a CNN "feel"

Good show but it should not be on CNN because it is not news. CNN is slowly turning into MTV soon there will be no actual news on the channel at all just a bunch of scrraming pundits.

Agreed.

But... it's on Sunday.

CNN has to have SOME shows that is not straight news, or it will be super boring.

It's a ratings game after all.

[Verdasco]

fuarkkk i want to see ep. 2 but it isn't uploaded yet D:

[lowside67]

Not true... it's up. Maybe you should look on a certain bay with the pirates floating around?

[truth]

saw the koreatown episode last night, good watch

[red_2]

God damnn I keep trying to record the show on CNN but it keeps playing some other shit that its not supposed too!!!! even the later repeats are showing the different shows like the fricking correspondents dinner playing right now.

damn you CNN!!

[Ch28]

Tonight's episode on Columbia was pretty good.

[Groot]

fuarkkk i want to see ep. 2 but it isn't uploaded yet D:

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown S01E02 Koreatown Los Angeles - YouTube

[fliptuner]

Next week: Canada......sweet.

[lowside67]

I was not that stoked to watch an episode on LA but honestly it was much better than I thought it would be!

[murd0c]

Last nights one of Columbia was veru interesting and no question the one on Canada is going to be great next week.

[KingDeeCee]

Pretty late on the episodes, but I thought the Columbia one was kind of boring. The guests he had on were very quiet. Not sure if it was the language barrier or what, but it felt really awkward to watch them have a conversation. Not to mention the lack of food porn.

That being said, can't wait to watch the remaining episodes. Canada and Morroco.

[fliptuner]

Just a heads up, the preview originally called it a Canada episode, when it's really only about Quebec.

[Marshall Placid]

The "Canada" one was boring.

It was just about Quebec.

The Colombia one was better.

I still need to catch up on Morocco.

[red_2]

I thought the Quebec episode was great, it was like straight up food porn.

I could care less about Quebec

:troll:

[Sir_Loin]

Morocco episode, too bad he wasn't able to try it on camera.

[murd0c]

The best part is he said it tastes really good right after that pic and then he talked about he couldn't try in on "camera" lol

[Sir_Loin]

Probably tastes like a rice crispy bar drizzled with honey.

[willystyle]

The Canada one was best in terms of Food Porn. I understand why he didn't present Vancouver or Toronto, and only Quebec. If you think about it, Vancouver and Toronto is just a melting pot of great international cuisines - much like every other major north american city. Quebec, on the other hand, truly has a cuisine that's unique in its own right and cannot easily be found in any other major cities. Definitely a new found respect for Quebec food for me, and nothing more.

[fliptuner]

Plus he has a hardon for Montreal and Vietnam.

[BurnoutBinLaden]

Kind of semi relevant: Are food trucks still illegal in Montreal?

[Verdasco]

you can definitely feel the warmth and cosiness when watching the Quebec episode. Such great food featured....

[willystyle]

Bourdain also has a hard-on for Hong Kong. It's from No Reservations. I've never seen him compliment so much about a food destination before.

[LiquidTurbo]

Don't get all flattered. I couldn't remember the last time he didn't like a place.

The only time MAYBE was in Indonesia where he tried "Dol-Dol", a caramelly sweet toffee like candy.

I've tried it in Indonesia and I think it's pretty good. Still, even on camera he dissed it politely.

I don't remember which episode it was, but it was one of the African ones from No Reservations, the tribe cooked him a meal of an animal they just caught, probably pig but I'm not 100% sure but they barely cleaned it and pretty much plain grilled it and after eating a few bites he made a face and said it tasted really bad and taste like shit lol and couldnt eat it anymore

[sonick]

I would die happy after a meal made by the guys from Joe Beef and Martin Picard :sweetjesus:

[KingDeeCee]

I guess that's that. Going to bring a truffle shaver, a nice fat black truffle and a container of fois gras everywhere I go.

[highfive]

Just watched the Koreatown episode. Didn't know David Choe was in it. This guy made $200 million from FB stock apparently..

[AWDTurboLuvr]

Kind of semi relevant: Are food trucks still illegal in Montreal?

No, they started last year. To be honest, they're nowhere close to what Vancouver has. Some of them are just trucks from a restaurant around town, instead of actual new establishments.

It's in the beginning stages, so I'll cut them some slack, but it really was a letdown last summer. The only good thing that was out was a truck serving duck confit poutine and pulled pork sandwiches. We'll see how it plays out this year.

I will say this though, portions here in Montreal are pretty awesome. Everyone loves to eat and knows how to love food...also, Joe Beef is one of the best places I've ever eaten. Shame about the politics in this place...

[ZoravarAntranik]

Anthony Bordain is so interesting to watch, I downloaded all his episodes, hes the man!

[KingDeeCee]

Anyone continue watching this after the first season? He had a second season a few months after and a third season is coming up in April. Just a bump for those who probably didn't know this show continued.

Season 3 starts April 13th according to wikipedia.

[skyxx]

Yup it starts with INDIA!. Quite excited about that episode. :)

[fliptuner]

Punjab, India
Las Vegas
Lyon, France
Mexico City
Mississippi Delta
Russia
Thailand
Bahia, Brazil

[sonick]

Ah Lyon is gonna be awesome. I wonder which chef buddy he takes with him...

And Russia... ZAMIR!

[Hondaracer]

Also looking forward to the Lyon episode

Parts unknown however just doesn't do it for me like no reservations

[fliptuner]

I could feel my arteries cry as I watched the Lyon episode. All the food looked amazing and delicious.

Vegas episode was 2/10.

[lowside67]

It's funny, as I was watching the Lyon episode last night, I thought "this feels just like No Reservations". What a great episode, I will be there in September and can't wait!

[Sir_Loin]

Missed the Lyon episode last night. Gotta wait for a replay on Sat/Sun.

[fliptuner]

5pm Sun., right before the new, Mexico episode.

[Sir_Loin]

5pm Sun., right before the new, Mexico episode.

Yea, surprised it hasn't popped up anywhere online. It usually comes out around 10-11PM online.

[blkgsr]

i'm in bangkok right now and applied for my myanmar visa yesterday.....i'd love to see the episode but can't figure out how to watch it and can't find a torrent to download

any help would be appreciated

[Wongtouski]

I could feel my arteries cry as I watched the Lyon episode. All the food looked amazing and delicious.

Vegas episode was 2/10.

Whenever he goes back to the states I find it generally boring.

[murd0c]

Can't wait to see the Russia episode tomorrow

[HonestTea]

The Russia episode was pretty interesting lol

[fliptuner]

Watching A.B. on Seth Meyers' talk show. Apparently, Parts Unknown just got picked up for another 4 seasons.

[willystyle]

Agreed.

[Sir_Loin]

Looking forward to the last two episodes of Season 3, Thailand and Brazil. Mississippi was boring first episode I feel asleep.

[murd0c]

I really liked the Mississippi episode, but then again I've always been a fan of southern food and the blues

[lowside67]

Watching A.B. on Seth Meyers' talk show. Apparently, Parts Unknown just got picked up for another 4 seasons.
I enjoy Anthony and the show is good, but 4 seasons is a huge commitment, wow.

[Wongtouski]

I enjoy Anthony and the show is good, but 4 seasons is a huge commitment, wow.

It's not liek CNN has anything going on.........plus no reservations was like 7,8 seasons in as well..

[HonestTea]

DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Thailand was such a good episode! Probably the best episode this season!

[fliptuner]

Season 4 premier at 6pm tonight - Shanghai

[murd0c]

reading that makes me happy

[fliptuner]

Yeah, been getting antsy for the new season to start.

Shanghai
The Bronx
Vietnam
Massachusetts
Tanzania
Jamaica
Paraguay
Iran

[Lomac]

The Bronx? :lol That should be interesting...

Also, Iran surprises me a bit. There used to be a pretty hardcore media blacklist for foreign shows from filming there. Guess that must have been lifted a while back. lol

[cheeky_scrub]

Watching the Shanghai episode now. Those steamed dumplings.

[Sir_Loin]

That wine cellar was boss.

[murd0c]

My god I want those ribs!!

[Verdasco]

shanghai, bronx, and vietnam are the only ones i am interested :lawl:

thank god for PVR i can record them :D

[Hondaracer]

Really liked the Shanghai one

It's the only one of this entire series where I felt the cultural and political stuff that CNN tries to include actually worked. Enjoyed all the guests we went with, the food highlights were all good. Good start to this season.

[godwin]

It is hilarious they cut some scenes of HK like people crossing the streets etc and make it part of Shanghai.

[red_2]

shanghai episode was excellent.

good start to the season!

[HonestTea]

It is hilarious they cut some scenes of HK like people crossing the streets etc and make it part of Shanghai.

THIS. LOL

Some of the scenes were clearly HK.

[Sir_Loin]

Bún bò Huế

[HonestTea]

Paraguay episode was pretty boring.

[murd0c]

Todays episode is really different and I see Tony a different way I never saw him before. Good on him for being so open about his past even tho you could tell it was hard for him.

[white rocket]

^^Totally! I didn't expect that at all. My favorite episode to date due to the content rather than the location.

[fliptuner]

wtf
what a shit show right now.

Manila was boring as fuck. Chicago was also boring as fuck.
Is it me? I do have to say, if they wanted to do something different and dive a bit deeper then I guess they have done so (chicago) but for Manila, it was such a boring episode to open the season.

[fliptuner]

The food to culture ratio is way off.

[CivicBlues]

I loved the cinematography of this show and the insight of his old shows, but Tony's getting complacent in his old age. It's getting a bit too self-indulgent for my tastes, but I'll keep watching for now.

Seems like half of each show (and 80% of the US based ones) is devoted to him boozing it up with a bunch of people we never heard of which he tells us we should idolize.

[murd0c]

I want those dumplings so bad!!
