The fourth season of No Reservations starts back up tonight on the Travel Channel. No Reservations is one of my favorite shows on television now. It's not quite a travel show and not quite a cooking show. It's more the former than the latter. The premise of the show is simple, Anthony Bourdain goes to cool places around the world and you get to watch him do stuff like eat and argue with the locals. It's like Bizarre Foods but with out all the nasty shit, or Andrew Zimmern.
In honor of the start of the fourth season of No Reservations I've put together a list of my favorite Tony Bourdain moments, some of which have video.
I submit that Zane Lamprey is a douche bag. He is the 'host' of a show called Three Sheets on a TV network I've never heard of. The premise of the show is pretty simple: Douche bag host visits a random country and gets drunk, ostensibly to learn about the local drinking customs. Sounds like fun right? Well, in practice it is akin to looking at someone else's vacation photos. In order to spice things up a bit the producers found themselves a host that is such a douche bag there is seldom a dull moment. That is not to say the show is enjoyable... mostly its painfully embarrassing. There must be a fair number of people that enjoy watching a thirty year old frat bag drink himself into exotic hangovers in far away lands, because the show is just starting to air it's third season.
