Anthony Bourdain : No Reservations

The acclaim surrounding Bourdain's racy memoir, Kitchen Confidential, led to an offer to host his own food and world-travel show, A Cook's Tour, by the Food Network, premiering on January 8, 2002. In July 2005, he premiered a new, somewhat similar television series, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, on the Travel Channel. As a further result of the immense popularity of Kitchen Confidential, the 2005 Fox sitcom Kitchen Confidential, debuted, in which the character "Jack Bourdain" is based loosely on the biography and persona of Anthony Bourdain.
