Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, Season 1

I would like to buy this season of Parts Unknown, but it's missing episode 2 (Los Angeles - Koreatown) and it isn't available in 1080p HD. Hopefully this will be corrected soon.

This is a fantastic series which I have used not only for personal enjoyment but also as a teaching tool for my ESL students who absolutely love it. Anthony Bourdain is completely inspiring, authentic, and just all-around fun to watch. Not only have I learned so much from this show, but I have also been inspired to book a few plane tickets that I never thought I'd book.

The obvious question: Will "No Reservations" fans like this show? Yes! Tony brings his unique blend of honest insight, snark, hilarious voice overs, and culinary expertise to this new show as well. Maybe an ATV incident as well! Although it must be said that Tony comes off a little more tired these days. But rather than attempt to sum up an entire city or nation, this series focuses on lesser known sub cultures or current events. The bizarre night life of Tokyo, post-junta Myanmar, Korean-American life in LA, the post-apocalyptic scenes of crumbling Detroit. Production values, especially photography, manage to exceed even "No Reservations" - and that makes it worth the price of HD in my view. Essential viewing for the foodie, traveler, or anybody looking to expand their cultural horizons.

Makes me want to travel, have fantastic conversations, and enjoy every kind of food with Anthony.

I'm a big fan of 'No Reservations', but I just didn't get the wow factor with Anthony Bourdain as host of this series. The locations are great and the information on little known parts is interesting, but I really feel like Anthony should stick to the culinary arts.

Anthony Bourdain is really a professional journalist.

Love this show! keep it coming!!
