Philippines on ‘No Reservations’

Tonight at 10pm EST chef/writer/tv show host Tony Bourdain goes to the Philippines in his show No Reservations on the Travel Channel. This looks to be an excellent show and I’m excited to see it. I am hoping that Tony does Filipino food justice and not the disaster that Andrew Zimmern showed in his show Bizarre Foods.

  1. I was so mad when I watched Andrew Zimmern’s visit to the Philippines.I can’t believe he can eat worms and rotting meat,but have a problem with ice cream being served in a bun. That’s good stuff!

    *calms down*

    Hopefully, Tony can do it justice.

  2. i LOVE this show! this man has THE best job EVER! my most favorite episode is when he went to bali…. ohhhhh how i wish to go there. can’t wait to watch tonights episode. thanks for the reminder :0)

  3. Oh shoot… I missed the episode,been looking forward to see this episode because Tony interviewed a relative of ours in this episode.Claude Tayag of Bale Dutung in Angeles City a local chef/artist whose restaurant is a fave destination of serious foodies in the Phillipines.

  4. “Best pig ever!”.. this is what Anthony Bourdain says of the lechon from Cebu! This totally made my day (or night).. I’m from Cebu — and proud of it! :oD

  5. I didn’t see this episode but he did a show on Colombia. I told my parents who taped it. We all thought he did a great job with the show. He spoke a lot about the pride people have towards their country and how it was getting better. I thought he combined the food and culture in together very well.

  6. This is one of the best exposures for Filipino Food towards the world. I haven’t seen it yet; though, maybe it can be available on the internet somewhere.. Nice to see someone of that stature actually visit local places to document with authenticity..

    -Enjoy your Filipino Food cooking-

    G-dspeed,

    Yelo

  7. I just saw the episode again with a mexican friend of mine and I just have to say that I was a little disappointed. Everyone just kept serving him sinigang. I mean, sinigang is one of my favorite dishes, but filipino cuisine has so much more to offer. What about Kare Kare? or the stuffed grilled squid… or.. DINOGUAN? *sigh* It still made me hungry though =]

  8. I saw that show awhile back and so disappointed with that Filipino guy who pretended to know about Filipino foods. He did not deserve to be on that show!!!!
