Yup, it's the right episode. I've been seeing commercials for it for the last three days at least, and it's all about Bourdain. Do realize though, that the whole segment will probably be about 5 minutes - max. But, the fun thing to do will be to watch the background of the rest of the season to see just how many times he appears. Miami Ink is edited out of sequence, so there is a very good chance he'll be in the background at least one.

January.

No book as far I can see. There are a couple of online sites that seem to classify to DVD has a hardcover book. That might explain the mix up. I doubt a book on this subject would have gone unnoticed in this group for very long.

The piece I saw about this said they were casting in late June or early July. Just in time for your little dilemma it would seem.

No. It's never been released on DVD. I fear/suspect it will never see the light of day. There's been some problems between the network (yeah, like FN has had much of a clue lately) and production company - if I remember correctly. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone will speak up.

I don't remember if it was part of the Asia special, but there has been a Japan episode. There are photos of it on the Travel Channel fan site.

Thank you so much for posting that link. My only thoughts are "Oh. . . My . . . God." I thought I understood how bad things were there - but I didn't have a clue.

Oh, it's sour grapes all right. Unfortunately the TC boards are a haven for trolls and it's not just the "No Reservation" boards. I loved seeing the interaction between Bourdain and Nari. I'd love to see a little more of her too. Maybe Korea part 2?

Oh FN has been doing that for at least 2 years now. They've even run it on the rare weekend, especially right after No Reservations hit the air. I'm more surprised that they haven't started running it earlier.

as in angry angry email?? ← Nope, more like angry if not down right racist, comments over at the Travel Channel forums. Well, I don't know if he's getting email but I've seen some of the posting on the forums over there and that was more than enough for me. But that place has been a haven for trolls - no matter which show board on the Travel/TLC/Discovery channels forums you read.

Are all of these shows filmed yet? Or are your handlers still taking suggestions for where to go in any of these countries? ← They've all been filmed. Puerto Rico is the next episode to air and if my memory serves me it's Tex Mex then one of the India episodes after that.

Iceland? He went back? ← No, it's not a return trip. It looks more like a behind the scenes, making of, let's add some interviews (Bourdain and his crew) and make it look like a brand new episode. Okay, so that's a little more snark than that's really needed, but I can smell repacking of "old episodes" a mile out. Here's hoping that from the 27th on it's new, new episodes. I'll be thrilled to finally have something to watch on Monday nights.

March 20th the Iceland special airs - it's a brand new episode. On the 27th there's a two-hour, not sure where Bourdain's going in that one.

Nope. It needs to be Ramsay paired with Rocco so Ramsay can have a hissy fit and dump a plate of pasta on Rocco after he messes it up becuase he is too busy preening for the camera and burns the garlic and... ← Absolutely! Bets on how long before Ramsay has Rocco in tears? Think Rocco's mama will be waiting in the wings to beat Ramsay if he hurts her boy? Must have Ruhlman do the floor commentary for this one though. No offense to Alton Brown but he's just not match for Ruhlman's wit. I must also remember to stop reading this thread while drinking coffee. I've nearly choked twice.

No way. I'm not the world's best cook by any stretch but I can cook. Most often if I'm cooking for you then I care about you. If I care about you I'm not going to lie to you. It's that simple in my little corner of the world.
