Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Spiritual Successor (really more a Channel Hop with a new name) of No Reservations, Anthony Bourdain's Travelogue Show of off-the-beaten-path exploration around the world through the lens of a former chef exploring culture through food, with a larger dose of topical current and political events courtesy of the show's new home on CNN. The jump occurred in 2013, spurred in part by Bourdain's dissatisfaction with a change in management at Travel Channel and lured by the promise of CNN being able to get him to places that would otherwise be inaccessible to him, such as Iran.In format and tone the show was pretty much identical to the later years of No Reservations, featuring an older, wiser, mellower Bourdain, no longer the subject of the Butt-Monkey leanings of his earlier years. Fitting for the show's new network, there's a lower emphasis on checking out tourist destinations and a higher one on exploring a place's history and politics.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Sadly, during filming of an episode set in Strasbourg, France, Bourdain took his life at the age of 61; he will be dearly missed. While it is unknown what will become of this particular episode, CNN has announced plans to air the final completed episodes in September.

Author Appeal: The Congo episode comes from Bourdain's fascination with "Heart of Darkness".

Broken Pedestal: Subverted (heartwarmingly) when he meets punk legend Iggy Pop in Miami in Season 5. No only is Iggy no longer a raging hellion, but over the course of eating breakfast and walking along the beach with Bourdain, is very candid and philosophical.

Biting-the-Hand Humor: After partaking in a bit of Toilet Humor with fellow diners in Quebec, Anthony looks into the camera and deadpans, "This. Is CNN."
