The episode begins with a brief history of the Czech Republic, including an overview of how Communism stunted the local cuisine. Tony then shares a meal with one of the city's most innovative chefs. They dine on some traditional Czech foods, including spreadable stinky cheese, pig tail, and marinated beef in beer. All, of course, accompanied with a beer. Tony visits the chef's restaurant later that night for a "taste of the old, made new.”
Next, Tony heads to a local brewery 2 hours outside of Prague to meet with travel writer, and beer nerd, Evan Rail. This scene includes riveting (yes riveting) beer history and Evan falling through the floor of the brewery, all while managing to save his beer. Bourdain then meets up with 21-year old art student David Cerny for some interesting art conversation. After that, Tony hits the streets of Prague for some very unique street food. You can check out Prague’s finest street fair, like sausages and fried cheese sandwiches with mayo, in the video clip above. With things like that on the menu, you know Tony had a good time gorging himself in the Czech Republic.
Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations airs Monday nights at 10/9c on the Travel Channel.
