Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Season 5, Part II Premiere - Chile

I could have sworn No Reservations wasn’t returning until August, but much to The Blot’s surprise I just found out Tony comes back tonight with an all new episode! How great is that? Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations Season 5, Part 2 premieres tonight, Monday, July 13 on the Travel Channel at 10/9c. This season finds Tony visiting a slew of all new locations including multiple cities throughout the United States, as well as Australia, Sardinia and Thailand. To kick the season off though, Tony travels to Chile.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Chile - Tony and Jorge sit down for a meal at Don Vittorio's seafood restaurant
During Bourdain’s trip to Chile, Tony visits Fuente Alemana, a restaurant serving German pints and Lomidos, a monstrous sandwich of pork, avocado, and mayonnaise. Tony then indulges his obsession with pork by dining at El Hoyo, a restaurant specializing in all forms of pork, pork skin, and extraneous pig bits. If you’re not hungry already, check out this clip from tonight’s episode. In the video Tony stops by Sibaritico's to try a local favorite: a foot-long hot dog drenched in tomatoes, sauerkraut and guacamole in a mega bun.



The episode continues as Tony enjoys a rodeo, some shopping at a bustling market in the Estacion Central and enjoys local specialties such as caldopata (hoof soup), chunchules (fried intestines), and pastel de choco (corn pie).

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