What Others Say
Many missing episodes from season 1
I love Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Season 1, but was extremely disappointed that it is not the COMPLETE Season 1. Some of the best episodes are missing from the collection. My favorites are Uzbekistan and South Florida. I hope that the rest of Season 1 is released as a collection. I don't think that people should have to buy the episodes separately.
Anthony rules!
I have read Anthony's books first. Then I saw one of his TV shows "by accident" while switching through the channels. I wanted more. So I rent all DVDs during my last vacation in the US and watched them in a row.
Now, one year later, I wanted to see some of his shows again as I am interested in visiting some of the places he went, and as I am also a hunter for good local food and specialites, I decided to buy all his DVDs here on Amazon. And I have soooo much fun with them.
You see other views of a country, not the typical tourist paths. Food you wouldn't dare to touch or put it in your mouth - he does it for us. Great guy. Can't wait to go to Sicily and try that strange fried meat-parts hidden under a towel from these ... Read More
tony is the best
Having watched No Reservations for a long time and traveled to many areas, I think Tony Bourdain is the best travel host on TV. He is real!!
No tourist garbage, real people and a look at what really exists.
He has the ability to laugh at himself and those people that hate him. I like the fact that he cusses, he drinks and will try almost anything. He also is not afraid to show genuine feeling when the situation is appropiate.
I purchased two volumes of his programs and will purchase the third in a few days when it becomes available.
I especially like his take on going bamboo! I have done that and will return soon to that life. Damn, he had that right!
Keep rockin Tony, you got it right.
Entertaining and Educational
I love seeing an inside look to so many places. Anthony Bourdain manages to show you places and people you would never see while being funny and respectful.
Fantastic - but not the entire season and NO extras
Anthony Bourdain is a real cook's cook and his wit really shines through in his TV series- No Reservations. The series is outstanding and there is nothing detracts from his show.
This first collection/season on DVD is fantastic but the thing that really "bites" (pun intended) is that the Uzbekistan episode is missing. Hence this is a "collection" of No Reservation instead of a "season". Was something so objectionable to that episode that it cannot be included in that set?! Everyone buys DVDs for extras and you would expect, well- extras. In this case, there are no extras. I would hope there would be out-takes, deleted scenes, additional commentary or behind the scenes but that is not the case. One feature that would be VERY nice ... Read More
