In this collection of the Emmy-winning series, Anthony Bourdain continues to traverse the globe and discover other people and cultures through their cuisines. From chowing down on ox tails in Madrid during the World Cup to sampling Pakistani dishes and skiing indoors in Dubai, Tony always finds the new and exciting in every destination he travels to.Disc 1Where It All BeganLiberiaDubáiRomeMadridDisc 2Kerala, IndiaParisBack to BeirutBonus FeaturesWhat Were We Thinking (100th Episode)Making of India Review: Very Interesting! - I enjoyed this collection a lot. Although in my opinion, Collection 7 was better. Still I give this one 5 stars. Here are my thoughts on the episodes: Where It All Began - shows Tony's rise from a cook and author to a major TV personality. Liberia - interesting for me because I know very little about Africa. Tony takes some chances by going to a place like this. Nicely done. Dubai - this was my favorite episode of the regular episodes. Tony goes to an indoor ski area in Dubai. It is very hot outside but cool inside. Also he has lunch with some Arabs who, except for their clothing, seem much like us. Rome - the food looked awesome in this one. You will see an argument break out between customers and the owner because the wait for a table in the restaurant is too long. Madrid - I liked this episode less than the other episodes. Lots of old men cooking. Still not bad. Kerala, India - facinating! Tony goes on a houseboat and eats some delicious food. Tony meets one of India's biggest TV stars. He is actually rather nice and down to earth. They have lunch in the star's trailer. Paris - contains a lot of discussion on the new way of dining in Paris today. Tony's chef friend Eric represents the old way of doing things. He constantly needs to defend himself when talking with the other chefs. Back to Beirut - a very important episode for those who saw the first time Tony and his crew went to Beirut and a war broke out. This time things are much better. What Were We Thinking (100th Episode) - this was part of the bonus features and well worth watching. It highlights some of the high points of the last 100 episodes. Lots of insight here into things I did not know about some of the episodes. A really nice look back that will make you smile. Making of India - this episode contains lots of technical stuff on how to get the best shot with regard to lighting, background noise etc. Also shows the planning process involved to make a show like this. It also helps you know some of the people working behind the scenes. Overall a very good season to watch. Enjoy. Review: Anthony the explorer - Very much like his work, the different countries he travels too and tries the local stuff, expleres the history and culture. So it is informative and entertaining the same time.

Travel the World without leaving your couch
Great new places or great new views of old favorites. Where It All Began - Like anyone cares. Liberia - Every part of Africa has its own flavors. Dubai - Who knew. Rome - There is more to the food than spaghetti and meat balls. Madrid - Gives you the base for the Hispanic food culture the World over; plus where it is heading. Kerala, India - Another edition to cover such a large country. Paris - Another look; what ever. Back to Beirut - A needed episode. A must watch. Bonus Features - Might be a bonus to some folks.

Anthony Bourdain DVD Part 2 of Collection Six fills in the gaps in a Wonderful Series
This chapter in the saga of Anthony Bourdain traveling the world with his eye on cuisine and the creative culture that surrounds each meal is part of the feast of life that he shared with us. A wonderful aspect of a guy from New York that makes world citizens of all who follow his journey and sit at the tables as a guest with many friends with eclectic tastes.

Another great season of No Reservations
What can be said that hasn't already been said about this show? If you love it, you will enjoy this season as much as any other. If not, I don't know how to win you over. By far one the best shows about food on tv today.

Another great travel video by you prior to your CNN gig

As always Mr. Bourdain's shows are insightful and entertaining.The mix of travel show and social and political commentary is justly balanced.The specials are a nice counter-balance to the travel shows. I wish all the programs could be on DVD.
