Product Description

The irreverent and irascible Anthony Bourdain is out of the kitchen, out of the hotel, past the tourists, and headed out for culinary adventure. He's on a globe-hopping journey, hitting the streets in search of authentic flavors and experiences. Willing to go anywhere and try anything, Anthony - featured exclusively on Travel Channel - is out to experience destinations from the streets and local point of view. With food as his passport, Anthony gains entry to cultures around the world: with No Reservations. Episode 11: Anthony's Japanese adventure begins in Osaka at an underground bar devoted to the hardcore fans of the local baseball team, the Hanshin Tigers. Then he goes to the Kiso Valley for some relaxation, and eats some tuna belly and roe at a tiny sushi bar. This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bourdain is the Best, February 22, 2007

By	hexyr (NJ United States) - See all my reviews

Bourdain is the best host out there. This is the only travel show I watch because it is not typical. He is witty, intelligent and funny. He tries to connect to the people he is meeting not just show the most popular spots.

If you like this read any of his books

5.0 out of 5 stars Great!, August 26, 2009

By	R. Kang "Math whizz-ed" (Spokane, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Japan episode was the first one I saw on television while travelling on business. I could not remeber the name of the show at the time, and spent several hours searching the net before I found the info including broadcast schedule and DVD's for sale.

We went of a 3 week trip to Japan in April 2009 and spent a couple of days in Osaka with some Japanese friends. Sadly, the Kuidaore restaurant had closed and the clown was gone, but we did get our picture taken in front of kanidoraku! We had to make our own version of kuidaore (you have to see the episode to understand unless you speak Japanese) with a friend who owned a bar. I, like Tony vowed to never EVER do karioke, but after several hours of self indulgent kuidaore, found the microphone in hand and delivered a rousing rendition of the Star Spangled Banner that brought the house down.

I love Tony's style and the locations for the shoots. Being of asian background, I really enjoy seeing all the asian episodes and share Tony's affinity for the culture and of course the food!!

I recommend this and any of Tony's DVD's if you are a lover of life, people, and great food!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard to Find Episode, October 1, 2008

By	Russell Nagata (Gardena, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I searched for a long time to find this "No Reservations" episode. The Discovery Channel and Travel Channel websites do not have this episode for sale. The Anthony Bourdain DVD Collections do not have this episode either. Thank you Amazon for offering this for sale.
