I wouldn't exactly call Quebec and Montreal parts unknown but, being from there, I'm definitely interested to see what he'll eat/see. Hopefully it's different than what he did for No Reservations.

Love all the bourdain shows except the taste

Supposedly, According to his AMA on reddit, he has more control over this one

Bourdain is a huge douchebag, but I actually enjoy the show. He's a good writer.

See, I think the food and locales are the show, not guys like he and Zimmern. The only locales I didn't like were in Africa. I just never saw anything I wanted to eat in any of the African locations. They ate dirt in one of the Zimmern episodes.

His best one was Louisiana. When he took part in the Butchering of the Pig, in La Platte I think?

I have that episode on DVR and watch it every now and then.

Great episode but I can only watch it if I'm eating

He kinda seems to take himself too seriously at times and can be a bit cheesy, but his show is very interesting and he does seem knowledgeable.
