    Anthony Bourdain in Kerala, India: 4 Spots Where Tony Ate

    March 27, 2023 / No Comments

    Covering the southwest corner of the Indian subcontinent, the state of Kerala is famous for its food and spices, as well as being unique in it is probably the only state where non-vegetarian food is readily available.

    In the Venn diagram of cultures, Macau sits right in the overlap. Originally settled by the Portuguese in the 16th century, Macau was the first – and last – European colony in East Asia. Portugal held the colony until 1999 when they handed it over to China; in a shocking twist, Macau was not completely assimilated and retains much of its original colonial charm, but far fewer scars than other colonies around the globe...

    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...

    For the most part, Anthony Bourdain’s work is timeless: he explores themes of humanity, the power of travel to open our hearts and minds, and how food connects us all. The destinations differ, the show titles change, but the core tenets remain the same. Sometimes though, Tony’s commentary seems dated – especially considering his work now stretches back some two decades. One such example is when looking back at the places visited by Anthony Bourdain in Minneapolis...

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!
