Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Food Porn

February 14th (commonly referred to as Valentine’s Day) is this weekend, and in honor of the holiday of love we are being treated to a very special and unique episode of No Reservations. After traveling across the globe for years and sampling some of the world's greatest gastronomic pleasures, Anthony Bourdain has learned first hand about the body's similar chemical and physical responses to food and sex. It’s lucky for us then he is ready to share some of his favorite examples of what he likes to call “food porn.” In tonight’s episode, Tony presents a XXX selection of all that's lip-smacking and luscious in the world of food.


Tonight Tony is joined by some of the world's most renowned chefs, such as Eric Ripert, Alan Wong and Martin Picard, as he dines on everything from crispy pork skin tacos and steaming pho, to hot drippy cheese based dishes, serious chocolate and of course, a pig feast. As Tony says, it's “just filthy.” If you can’t tell by the title of tonight’s episode, this is going to be a good one! If you don’t believe me just check out the promo video clip below for the Travel Channel’s No Reservations: Food Porn Special:



But just as in porn, not everything in food is glamorous or appetizing. Be it still-squirming octopus tentacles, the dirty 'business end' of a warthog, codfish sperm, or the bitterly juicy eyeball of a freshly-killed seal, there are some dishes around the world that provide disgust for some, yet immense gratification for others. But whatever it is that tickles your fancy, it can't be denied that food and pleasure go hand-in-hand. Let’s just say this episode is for hardcore viewers only!

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations airs every Monday at 10/9c on the Travel Channel.
