Editorial Reviews

In this collection of No Reservations, Tony pushes himself even more. Things are going to be a little more difficult for Tony this time around, and perhaps even for the viewer. Political, moral, class or philosophical issues trouble some of these places. Tony brings his clear eye, curious nature, big appetite and unique sense of humor to every destination and every episode in this collection. And as always, the food is only the first glimpse of a wider view of how people live their lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Reservations July 10, 2012

By Thomas Magnum HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

The last season of No Reservations may have well been the show's best. You can see why Anthony Bourdain is moving to CNN from the Travel Channel as the show has become less about actual travel and mainly about the culture and politics of the places he's seeing. The Haiti episode featuring Sean Penn was as insightful as any I've seen about the devastation from the 2010 earthquake. The Cuba show illustrated the poverty created by the Castro regime among the majority of the island's citizens. Even the look at the Ozarks delved more into the culture of the region than food. Those looking for a more straight travel show, the Vienna episode has gorgeous snow covered scenery and Mr. Bourdain chowing down on all manner of meats and chocolates. The Cajun show has Mr. Bourdain going Tony Soprano on a pig and is one of the best episodes the series has ever produced.

4.0 out of 5 stars Still a "collection" and not a full season April 30, 2013

By Matthew Chun

One of the better seasons with a better introspection of countries not often traveled. Great insight into Haiti after the devastating earthquake, Cuba (where casual travel from the United States is not allowed) and the amazingly creatively sophisticated but now defunct El Bulli in Spain. BUT as a "collection" versus being a complete "season", this collection is missing San Francisco and US Desert episodes. Another thing still bugs me is that on a consumer purchased DVD versus a broadcast airing of the show, we as consumers should be able to hear what the *bleep* Tony is saying in the uncensored DVD- or at least be able to select the G version or uncensored version of what was originally said. Of course, no bonus features such as online Travel Channel content that has since been deleted on "what Tony really thinks" or outtakes. You think by now the Travel Channel, Zero Point Zero or Image Entertainment would put out a complete quality product versus what cousin Ted cranked out of his basement in his spare time.
