Anthony Bourdain: No Stranger To Filipino Food

The chef, who is known for his interesting and sometimes irreverent take on local food, has been to the country many times. In 2016, he featured his visit to Manila in Parts Unknown.

Among the Filipino dishes he featured are the sizzling sisig made of pig jowl, the quintessential adobo and the peanut-based kare-kare. Although it was not included in the show, he also tried the famous Chicken Joy of Jollibee.

He also said that this was not the last time they will feature the country in the show, and promised that he will be back for more.

Anthony Bourdain Launches New Travel Site

Bourdain has also been busy working on a new digital venture in cooperation with CNN. He recently launched his new travel site called Explore Parts Unknown, which features “immersive travel guides” to the places he covers in his show.

According to Conde Nast Traveler, the website provides a more in-depth look at the sites that Bourdain visits in Parts Unknown. It naturally includes a more extensive guide to eating and cooking local food. In addition to this, a section called Drink talks about the best places to enjoy a drink.

The Know section has interesting features on local food and how it is tied to local culture. The Go section on other hand provides travel intel, or recommended itineraries for what it calls a “perfect day.”
