July 7th, 2008 by Leilani Polk in See & Do
1. An all-new season of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations premieres tonight at 10 p.m. on the Travel Channel. The culinary adventurer’s first stop? Laos.
2. Rock songstress Pat Benatar (pictured) takes the stage at Ruth Eckerd Hall with hubbie/producer/lead guitarist Neil Giraldo.
3. Tampa Theatre continues screenings of Roman de Gare, a Hitchcockian French film starring Fanny Ardant as a famed writer who’s accused of committing the perfect crime.
4. Comedian Louis Ramey performs at Floyd’s at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
5. The Tampa Bay Rays play the last of a four-game stand against the Kansas City Royals.

very rarely would i agree with something on television as being worthy of “five things to do today”, but “Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations” is a huge exception.
i learn lots of new things with each episode. it’s fun, intersteing and snarky. the blues explosion plays the theme song. and it’s possibly the only show on the travel channel that comes with a parental advisory warning.
WATCH THIS SHOW!

Yeah, Anthony Bourdain is like the Hunter S. Thompson of food and culture. I unabashedly love him.

Hi Leilani,
I’m working with the Travel Channel online team and we noticed that you blogged about Anthony Bourdain’s episode of No Reservations: Laos. We’re really happy to see people talking about the show and I hope that it is okay that I contacted you.
I can send you weekly updates about the upcoming (on Monday) episodes. For the rest of the season, I will be getting some exclusive promo videos each week (about that week’s episode) from the Travel Channel that you might want to post on Creative Loafing.
Here is a sneak peak of tonight episode in Columbia; http://www.viddler.com/explore/TravelChannel/videos/3/
Tonight’s episode will air at 10pm EST. I’ve watched the episode and let me tell you – make sure you don’t watch hungry. The food in this episode really looks amazing and the landscape is gorgeous. Needless to say, it was my favorite so far. Maybe because of the Chorizo… He wrote about Columbia on his blog already: http://anthony-bourdain-blog.travelchannel.com/
If you don’t want to be updated, just let me know.
Hope the day is going well,
