Anthony Bourdain No Reservations

Mondays at 10 E/P

Besides the chef's hat, Anthony Bourdain wears many others: TV personality, best-selling author, public speaker, weary world traveler, gourmand, punk-rock aficionado, proud New Yorker and, most recently, doting father. He's even kicked his lifelong smoking habit.

As he continues to explore every corner of the globe on his Emmy Award winning Travel Channel series, Anthony Bourdain encounters the weird, wild and downright outrageous personalities and places that help define the international cultural landscape.

Ghost Adventures

Fridays at 9 E/P

Are you ready for the lockdown? The "Ghost Adventures" crew --Zak Bagans, Nick Groff and Aaron Goodwin -- is back to investigate the scariest, most notorious, haunted places in the world.

The trio will interview eyewitnesses and historians at each location, arming themselves with the stories of the ghosts they will later provoke and confront during their dusk-to-dawn lockdowns. (Note: They don't always come out unscathed!) Then they'll review and analyze their findings with some the most respected experts and specialists in the paranormal field.

Get to Know

Anthony Bourdain

Anthony Bourdain is a 28-year veteran of professional kitchens, having worked as a dishwasher, line cook and chef in places good, bad and horrible -- most of them in New York City. In 2000, he published a memoir of his experiences in the culinary underbelly. Kitchen Confidential became an unlikely, but enduring, international bestseller.

Since embarking on a round-the-world trip for "A Cook's Tour," he has continued traveling for No Reservations (now in its fifth season), for various publications, for public-speaking engagements and because he likes it. He lives in New York City with his wife, Ottavia, and his daughter, Ariane. Watch'Anthony Bourdain No Reservations' Mondays at 10 E/P.

After graduating from film school in Michigan, Zak moved to Las Vegas to pursue a career in documentary filmmaking. There he met "Ghost Adventures" co-host Nick Groff and cameraman Aaron Goodwin. Their first paranormal investigations as a team took place all over Nevada, and the footage they captured led to an award-winning, nationally-televised "Ghost Adventures" documentary

Mary	Nov 12 2009 8:13 AM I wish I had your gut Adam. I wish I could eat anything. I have stomach problems that don't allow me to eat most of the things I see you eat on television. I guess I'll just have to live vicariously through you.
www.Amazingtaylortravel.worldventures.biz	Nov 7 2009 8:36 AM hey
Kel	Nov 4 2009 4:33 PM Adam Richman is a guilty, guilty pleasure of mine......................Y.....U.....M........keep him on and you have a viewer/fan for life!!!!!! And, I'd appreciate it if you could keep him single and, thus, American women everywhere still dreaming : )
Richiestyx	Oct 30 2009 11:25 PM Good Luck to the Ghost Adventures Crew ,you'll need it tonight.
Daisha Voo	Oct 30 2009 8:50 AM the travel channel has changed my life. ADAM RICHMAN IS LITERALLY THE HOTTEST AND MOST SEXY AND MOST GORGEOUS THING I HAVE EVER LAID MY BROWN EYES ON! HE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! no joke. I WOULD GIVE ANYTHING IN MY WORLD AWAY TO JUST MEET HIM!
GBAC	Oct 27 2009 3:48 PM Taking Madventures off the schedule is such a mistake. Out of all the shows, they actually find the REAL cultures of the world, even more so than Bourdain or Zimmern could do (though I love both of them too). Methinks that Western sensitivity played a crucial role in the show's removal, which is sad... and though I disapprove, I understand that as a company, one has to listen to consumers' complaints. Whatever. Eating dog to some is just as normal as eating mac and cheese in the U.S. Heck, some cultures even think mac and cheese is an abomination! Madventures still rocks and was THE best and MOST informative show Travel Channel had, and now it's gone. Truly sad.
Kevin	Oct 27 2009 12:09 AM MAN V FOOD!!!!!!!!!!

Iivari Matias Hammonds	Oct 8 2009 3:11 PM Minä rakastan Riku ja Tunna! Madventures on ihana! The best thing to hit American TV, I seriously never miss Madventures. I drive forty miles just to watch this, as my home is forced to have CableOne which doesn't carry Travel Channel. I'm that addicted. I remade my myspace when I found out Travel had one... I wanted to support my guys. Thank you for putting this show on the air! Kiitoksia!
