Anthony Bourdain discovers THE BAJA!

No surprise, but Anthony Bourdain's wildly popular Travel Channel show No Reservations has been picked up for an eighth season, and it's set to premiere April 9. This season, the traveling "cultural anthropologist"/rabble-rouser's destinations include:

· Baja, Mexico

CHEVY CHASE, MD (February 15, 2012) – CHEVY CHASE, MD (February 15, 2012) – Expect the unexpected from the 8th season of the Emmy award-winning series, “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations,” premiering Monday, April 9 at 9:00 p.m., ET/PT on Travel Channel. Throughout the weekly one-hour series, Anthony Bourdain takes viewers to 15 locations, across six continents, which surprise him and defy his expectations – for better or for worse. In some cases, he will be challenged by what he sees, and in others, he is there to just soak in the good life.

“Tony Bourdain never disappoints. With his candid humor and insatiable appetite for knowledge, he effortlessly unveils the truth about every location he visits in this new season of ‘No Reservations.’ Every week, he gives viewers a brief glimpse of the world through his eyes,” said Andy Singer, SVP, Programming & Production, Travel Channel.

I watch his show sometimes and I think he comes across a little snobbish.

I've never seen him dislike anything, Ken.

But I agree, he's a lot more watchable than Howser.

I meant in the way he talks to our narrates about some of the people he visits. I didn't say I didn't like him I said I thought he was a little snobby.

I have noticed this, but in the case of Ted Nugent, his post-assessments were entirely justified, IMHO.

Ted Nugent in his element

Roasted iguana for one. He so strongly disliked it that it sticks in my mind from a show years ago. Would almost make me not try it should it be offered. Almost.

Ever notice that Zimmern goes to the same places Bourdain goes? Or is it the other way around? They do have slightly different perspectives. The one I don't bother watching is Adam Richmond's "Man vs. Food" it's just about quantity. I just can't see wasting half an hour watching some guy stuff his face.

Agree... he is eating himself to death (it seems). I like Zimmern as it is just fun to watch him eat bugs and eye balls with glee... However, he won't touch walnuts... and hates one of the tropical world's most popular fruit, durians (although he does keep trying them, lol).

perhaps they rely on the same producers or researchers.

it's just TV -- scripted to be "visual" and sell advertising. the producers and researchers do just enough to get by, and no more.

Bourdains 1st book is a classic that anyone with an interest in food or restaurant work should read.
NYT bestseller for some time when it 1st printed.

he's funny but in a very sarcastic way at times.
So what - he's gotten rico and earned his style. He's making money for his producers and selling the ads no problem.

I read "Kitchen Confidential" years ago, before he ever had a TV show. I wasn't aware he's written more. I'll have to look for them. He is definitely one of the few celebrities I'd like to "have a beer with."

In my opinion, there is really little comparison between Tony and Andrew. Especially when you consider that Tony is a chef and owned his own restaunt(s),

It has to do with Jessie Ventura. THE BAJA sounds more impressive than, 'baja'. :lol:
