    Best show on Travel Channel or any channel, love this guy; sad to see him go, there is like 8 seasons total, ethnic food is awesome!!!!

    No Reservations: Brooklyn

    On the last leg of his final No Reservations tour, Tony travels just across the river to Brooklyn, a part of New York that he's barely visited. Tony explores the cutting edge food, music, and people that the area offers, but also meets the nostalgic characters and stalwarts of the old days who co-exist with the new Brooklyn.

    Didn't know his show was ending. Always enjoyed the show even though he is a bit of a tool.

    I love this show!!! I get a little bored with some of the episodes, but the majority of them are awesome. Didn't realize that the show has been on for 8 seasons though.

    I think with the predicted pork shortage next year, Bourdain is going underground into his bacon lair and will stock up. The man is in love with pork.

    I like Bourdain too and too bad his show is ending. On personal cool story Bro. I met this guy at his bar, USA Bucks, last year when I was in Harbin.

    I told him I saw him on a show in the US and he asked me how did he look? Apparently he had never actually seen the show.

    He's also got The Layover, which is similar but he actually gives actual travel tips and assumes you only a short amount of time at that destination (thus the name). I like the style and format, it's not better, just different.

    He ended production of The Layover, citing production stress. He said that trying to fit a week's worth of No Reservation shoots into two days was too much. It was a fun concept, though.

    He isn't going away, though, people. He's just moving to CNN. He is going to be going to more dangerous countries that the Travel Channel couldn't produce. Bourdain has stated that he wants to float the Congo river and visit Libya, using CNN's extensive contacts and experience in places like that.

    I don't know I think he's a nice guy. Doesn't help that he's working all the time, doesn't get to spend much time with his wife and kid.

    I like this show. Sad to see it ending, but it was good while it lasted.

    Good show, but he can definitely be a bit of a dick to people he meets.
