Anthony Bourdain in the United Kingdom: The Complete Guide
If you close your eyes, think of the United Kingdom, and imagine the sound of trumpets playing music, you can hear the song, right? It's royal fanfare, and brings to mind the Union Jack, guards in red coats and big hats, and royalty. The reality is that there's way more to the U.K. than the monarchy – despite the country's name – and Britain's long-held reputation as a bad food destination is completely wrong...

Anthony Bourdain in London: 19 Spots Where Tony Ate
As a world traveler who inspired so many of us, one might assume that Anthony Bourdain tried to remain neutral about the places he preferred (and those he didn't).

Anthony Bourdain in Ireland:
The Complete Country GuideFields of verdant green and dramatic cliffs. Pints of deepest ruby red. Fiddle and guitar music, spilling out from a warmly lit pub.

Anthony Bourdain in Belfast: 3 Spots Where Tony Ate
When most people plan a trip to Ireland, they forget that the island is actually two countries: Ireland in the south, and Northern Ireland in the north (naturally!). It has been 100 years since this single island became two nations, and for most of that time, it hasn't been easy or prosperous on either side.

Slattery’s Bar Dublin Review:
Irish Breakfast Like Bourdain"I love that this place hasn't changed at all," I said to my husband as we sat at our two-top table in a corner of Slattery's Bar in Dublin, awaiting a much-needed plate of starch, protein, and a few tomatoes thrown on top.
