    Anthony Bourdain in Colombia:
    11 Spots Where Tony Ate

    August 4, 2022 / No Comments

    Anthony Bourdain describes Colombia’s destinations as spectacular, its people as warm, proud, and fun, and its food as great. He goes so far as to say it’s ludicrous that this place exists and everyone doesn’t want to live here, describing it as one of the best places he’s ever been and a place that continuously surprises him...

    Anthony Bourdain visited France many times, partly inspired by his personal past as a child visiting the country as well as his love of culinary history and its deep roots in various parts of France. Along the way, he traveled with and met fellow chefs, gastronomes, and bon vivants who helped him discover – and show us – why the French lifestyle and cuisine contribute to the country's long lifespan and deep pride...

    Of the many places in France that Anthony Bourdain visited, perhaps none are as iconic as Brittany on the Northwest coast. Its is here that Tony buys – or is perhaps strongarmed into buying – his iconic striped Bretagne shirt, and here that he coins the phrase "I want my seafood tower" that many people repeat when visiting the region...

    July 25, 2022 / No Comments

    "The French Alps: lovely Italians on one side, but the terrifying Swiss on the other. They're close – too close for me, a man with a neurotic childhood fear of alpine vistas, yodeling, [and] even cheese with holes in it." What better introduction can there be to a stunningly beautiful destination like the French Alps, than learning about the only truly bizarre traveling fear that our favorite chef has that prevented him from visiting an otherwise charming country...

    When it comes to French food, there's one city whose reputation rises above all others: Lyon. Situated in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet, Lyon has been an important city since Roman times. Its place on the culinary stage dates to 1934 when food critic Curnonsky named Lyon the "capital of gastronomy," when some of the world's best French chefs were all cooking in Lyon including...

    For those of us in North America, Europe looks like a small region of small countries. While it's obvious how Spain is different from France, Portugal, or other European countries, most people aren't aware of the variations within each country until they begin visiting. Like every country, Spain is a country with many distinct regions, cultures, language variations, and foods...

    The refreshing spray of freshly poured cider. A plate of cured Spanish ham and gooey cheese. Fresh air in your lungs after a climb through the mountains. This is one of the scenes set in Asturias, the dynamic region along the Bay of Biscay. From rugged mountains to jagged coastline, Asturias – like other parts of Spain – has distinctive cultural aspects and inspires deep pride in its locals. It's also one of the last places visited by Anthony Bourdain during his globe-spanning career...

    If there's one thing we can all agree on, it's that Barcelona leaves a strong taste in the mouth, both literally and figuratively. Home to Gaudi's still-unfinished La Sagrada Família and located in the heart of the autonomous Catalonia region along Spain's Costa Brava, Barcelona is a city cranked up to 11. That includes the foods and flavors you can experience here, the most popular of which are great tapas and sangria...

    Granada, in the region Andalusia, in the country Spain, is a place that many people have been enchanted by. It has medieval architecture and modern sensibilities, and it's one of two places in Spain where you'll always receive free food – a small plate, or tapa – every time you order a drink. Sounds like a place Anthony Bourdain would love, right? If you're planning a trip to Granada and are curious where Tony ate, you'll probably love it too after enjoying tapas at the same places...
