Anthony Bourdain’s Beirut Show to Air
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 08.09.06 | 4:10 PM ET
We’ve written about Anthony Bourdain’s recent experience in Beirut— the globe-trotting chef was there taping an episode of his show No Reservations when fighting broke out. (He was safely evacuated.) At the time, he wasn’t sure whether the episode would ever air. Now comes word that it will indeed be broadcast on the Travel Channel Monday, Aug. 21 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Remarked the Travel Channel’s Pat Younge, “This special is not about a celebrity chef in peril, but an opportunity to show unique footage of the Beirut that existed before the hostilities broke out—an unfinished portrait of the Beirut that Anthony wanted to show the world.”

This show blew my mind. I always was a great fan of Anthony Bourdain, but this show really showed his remarkable insight and compassion. As an Iraqi vet, this episode brought a tear to my eye as you could physically see the changes in his face as he was witness to the destruction around him.
