Do you like food? Travel? A wiseass chain smoking New York host? Then this is for you! A fantastic book by a really cool guy, about a really cool show. It’s an overview of places around the world Tony Bourdain and crew visited and featured on No Reservations, and it’s filled with information that never, ever, EVER could have made it on the air. Right fans of No Reservations might get more out of this than a reader who has never watched the show but anyone can pick this up and catch the tone and flavor of one of cable TV’s most uniquely audacious hour-long events.

I am a huge fan of No Reservations, so I was excited to read this book. I loved every page of it!! From the pictures, behind the scenes descriptions, meeting the crew, it was all fantastic.

Yes, this is THE companion book to one of the most awesome shows on television right now. I was slightly disappointed that there was not more commentary, but, one redeeming factor and a reason you should have this book is for the “Best and Worst Bathrooms” around the world. Makes you glad for the dingy porcelain throne you have or jealous you don’t live in Japan!
Chocked full of photos taken during Bourdain’s wild tours around the globe, this is a fantastic coffee table book for chefs across the board. Sorry to say, the book does not do the show justice and if you ever have the chance to consume of Bourdain’s scathing wit and alcoholic charm, please do so! And yes, I despise Rachel Ray too my friend…I despise her too.

After brilliant books such as Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour, Bourdain puts out “Picture Pages” for No Reservations. It’s a bring shame on really because having a excellent book with Tony’s unique prose would be brilliant around the holidays. One can only imagine this book was part of his TV contract and unless you have crayons at home and want to play along with the reruns, buy one of his additional books. This book is nothing but pictures from the show. PS: I reflect Captain Kangaroo’s people are looking for a royalty check on this one.
