Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown: There are a total of 12 seasons of this really cool, educational series. As the name suggests, the host, the late Anthony Bourdain travels around the world to unknown parts of the world. Anthony’s storytelling is phenomenal and his detailed research hooks the audience in a captivating fashion. Unfortunately, we will never see Anthony talk to us about food and culture ever again but we are lucky to have the work that he has left us with. A personal recommendation, is to watch the episode where he travels to Tokyo, Japan. Such an informative episode!
