Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" visits New Orleans

Finally. FINALLY!

Since it first aired last year, I've been occasionally scanning YouTube, Vimeo, the Travel Channel's website, fucking everywhere, looking for video of the episode of "No Reservations" that focused on New Orleans. Finally, last night, I found it. On YouTube. Jesus, Mary, and Moses, it's about fucking time.

It's split up into 5 parts. Here's part one of the five, which features one of my favorite New Orleans area writers, Chris Rose of the New Orleans Times Picayune, who takes Bourdain to his favorite po-boy joint for an "off the menu special." Enjoy...



And if you're interested in seeing more, the remaining parts of the episode are linked below, where Bourdain visits Antoine's, Cafe Reconcile, pops in on his old nemesis Emeril, and visits the recently profiled in the New York Times Donald Link of Herbsaint and Couchon Butcher.

And below is the Amazon link to the page for Chris Rose's book, One Dead in the Attic. I recommend it highly.

This episode was so deftly handled and so moving that it brought big baby tears to my eyes -- both times I've watched it.

This was an awesome episode. I think I've seen it 3 or 4 times.

I've just watched part 1 and that looks great. I wish I had unlimited download on my broadband so I could watch the rest. Broadband is ridiculously expensive where I am (Australia).
