Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown

In his maiden voyage to the country formerly known as Burma, Anthony Bourdain and his crew discover the fabled beauty and local cuisines of a country that had been, up until recently, off-limits to outsiders.

Tony takes Los Angeles -- but with a twist. No Hollywood sign, no Beverly Hills. Instead, he zeroes in on a three-square-mile area of the city known as Koreatown, where he finds a tight-knit community still marked by the 1992 Rodney King riots.

The public face of Colombia has changed immensely over the past ten years and is still changing for the better. Tony explores the country from the mountains to the Caribbean coast, including the coca leaf-growing inlands once controlled by drug cartels.

Chefs and restauranteurs Fred Morin and Dave McMillan, of Joe Beef’s, take us across Canada by rail.

Anthony Bourdain explores the "Interzone,” where artists like Burroughs, Bowles and the Rolling Stones sought escape from Western moral prohibitions.

Libyan hip-hop, Italian restaurants, tribal allegiances and post-war uncertainty abound in Libya. Bourdain looks at the country through personal stories, food and the music of anti-Qaddafi rapper expats who returned to fight.

Tony and his friend, world-renowned chef Eric Ripert, explore the far reaches of indigenous Andes in search of a rare variety of wild cocoa that is said to be the best in the world. They move from hip, modern Lima back in time into pre-Colombian Peru.

Bourdain looks at the Congo as one of the more industrialized powers in Africa, now largely crumbled to nothingness and chaos.
