Anthony Bourdain was up visiting parts unknown in Franklin County yesterday, but he seemed to have no reservations anywhere.

The popular chef and television host of the former "No Reservations" on the Travel Channel and the current "Parts Unknown" on CNN was spotted with his crew in Greenfield yesterday, but no one seems to know where he was filming. But he definitely ate a late lunch with his crew at Greenfield's People's Pint, according to manager Josh Breitner.

"He wasn't filming here. He was just here to eat with his crew," Breitner said. "But we just left him alone."

Kate Franklin of South Hadley was at The People's Pint when Bourdain was there around 3 p.m. She immediately recognized him.

"There's no denying his presence. He is tall, tan, handsome, well dressed," she said. "When I saw him, of course I wanted to talk to him for even a minute and get his autograph. Alas my nerves took over, and I just stared and smiled."

Franklin has been a fan since 2004 when Bourdain's first book, "Kitchen Confidential" was published.

"He has been my celebrity crush since. Of all the celebrities I've seen, he is the one person I would die to sit, drink, and eat with," she said. "I want to pick his brain about Thailand, and so many places he has been. He is a culinary genius, and I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to tell him that."

One logical place for Bourdain to visit would be The Gypsy Apple in Shelburne Falls, but chef Michelangelo Wescott said his place was closed yesterday.

"I hope he comes here tonight," Wescott.
