    Anthony Bourdain in Germany:
    The Complete Country Guide

    October 31, 2022 / No Comments

    There's an important question I love to ask people when I meet them: if you could enjoy just one cuisine of food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me, the answer is simple: Korean food, or maybe German. Most people are surprised by my answer, as these two types of cuisine could not be more different.

    Anthony Bourdain in Berlin: 10 Spots Where Tony Ate

    October 27, 2022 / No Comments

    It's hard to understate the significant role that Berlin has played in European history and culture. Throughout most of the 20th century, it was a city divided by political pressure, but somehow managed to emerge and thrive as one of the most artistic capitals in a continent with many contenders. As one might expect, it was impossible for Anthony Bourdain not to comment on the role of art in Berlin's history and present expression, while sampling its food and meeting its people...

    Among the many beautiful cities in Europe, Cologne is usually not one that makes the top list. In fact, as Bourdain points out, Cologne is usually considered to be one of the less aesthetically pleasing places to visit, even just within Germany – but that doesn't detract from the flavors and foods you can enjoy in Cologne or Köln...

    "Vienna, Austria: I thought I'd hate it, but it's my new happy place." When Anthony Bourdain ends any episode this way, you know it's a good one. You see, Tony doesn't want to like Vienna – he wants it to meet his expectations of Austria borne out of bad experiences with a childhood barber and repeated traumatic exposures to The Sound of Music...

About Your Guide


Hi! I’m Valerie, and like you, I love to travel and discover the world through food. I am inspired by Anthony Bourdain as a traveler, adventurous eater, and writer.
  
I started this site to help people follow in Tony’s footsteps, and to open our mouths, minds, and hearts to one another through culinary travel. 
 
While most of the resources on this site were written by me, I’ve enlisted some fellow Bourdain enthusiasts and travelers to help share these resources.

Let’s explore together,
in Bourdain’s memory!
