Best-selling author, culinary adventurer and self-proclaimed hedonist, Anthony Bourdain has carved out a distinct place as a gastronomic Indiana Jones. In this series, his journey introduces viewers to people and places far beyond the realm of food as he travels the world sampling local foods and culture. Paris: Take an unusual tour of the city of light and love as Tony ventures from a hardcore goth club to a chilling discovery at the famed Chez Denise bistro. New Jersey: Tony, a New Jersey-raised boy himself, tries to define the state's true identity as he explores why it is presumed to be a "culinary and cultural wasteland". Sicily: Tony explores this gorgeous country of beauty, history and passion through a one-of-a-kind dining tour unlike any you've seen before. Las Vegas: Anthony covers the "very best" of the new chef-centric Las Vegas, ranging from the local joint the Double Down to the Venetian Hotel's renowned French brassiere, Bouchon. New Zealand: Tony realizes he needs to learn more about the Kiwi culture and heads into the lush countryside to get a real taste of New Zealand life. Malaysia: Anthony investigates "natural fusion", a culinary tradition in Malaysia, where Chinese influence has mixed with Malay, Indian, Nyonya and indigenous Borneo culture. Iceland: Tony meets with modern-day Vikings, sets out on a glacial picnic and gets acquainted with Thorrablót, a midwinter feast where revelers partake of indigenous delicacies. Vietnam: Tony describes Vietnam as love at first sight. This episode features strong elements of mystery, suspense, physical peril and, of course, unbelievably lush scenery
