My daughter, Kirsten, and I are obsessed with Anthony Bourdain and his show "No Reservations" on the Travel Channel. We are groupies! He is a former chef who travels the world tasting food everywhere while also smoking and drinking a lot. It is so funny!

I do not know if he’s a well kept secret or if we’re just the last to know but if you have Travel Channel, he is well worth TIVO’ing or watching live. Here’s more on him:
