The Travel Channel announced today that it has greenlit production for The Layover, a new original series hosted by Anthony Bourdain (of, as if you didn’t know, No Reservations). The show is scheduled to premier at the end of this year, and will run for ten episodes, each an hour [...]

  Tonight, Tony heads to Cuba to kick off a new season of No Reservations (9 p.m. EST), where he talks baseball with the sports-obsessed locals and wolfs down some so-called “Sleeping Beans.” Not immune to the criticism that comes with an American traveling to Castro’s home, Tony has some [...]

Anthony Bourdain will be taking a break from post-production on Season 7 and speaking in New York City at 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 24, 2011, at this store called Barnes & Noble that reportedly sells paper versions of books (in person, not online). He’ll be at the Union Square location [...]

Anthony Bourdain recently sat down with Eater for a two-part interview ahead of the release of his new book, Medium Raw: Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook. Amongst the mostly culinary-centric conversation, Tony was asked about what’s in store for No [...]

Anthony Bourdain and Bill Murray, together at last. On this week’s Hudson Valley-themed episode of “No Reservations,” who else but Bill Murray stopped by at the end for a ribeye dinner with Tony. Why? Not really sure, other than to fill us in on some of his past travel antics [...]

Tony’s back with Season 6 of “No Reservations” on the recently-purchased Travel Channel. He kicked things off last week with an episode from Panama (where he helped set fire to six tons of cocaine), and one from Istanbul this week (see above). You can expect upcoming trips to Brittany, Prague, [...]
