becoming bourdain

I want Anthony Bourdain's job. His show, "No Reservations," takes him around the world, exploring places, meeting the people and tasting the cuisine. And then he shares his discoveries with us. Travel and food? What a perfect job for me!

Last night was the premiere of his 100th episode and he came full-circle, showing us Paris (the city where the first episode of "No Reservations" was filmed) and taking us to places like Le Comptoir, Le Chateaubriand, Les Coquettes and more.
