Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Caribbean Island Hopping

This Monday, Travel Channel unleashes yet another all-new season of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, beginning with an episode of Island Hopping in the Caribbean. Get ready for a heavy dose of the unforgettable meals, unapologetic commentary, and unexpected moments you have come to expect from Anthony Bourdain. Tonight’s episode actually stems from an idea Tony got while watching a Duran Duran video. The crew works very hard to produce the show, so as a thank you to the crew, they hopped on a boat and set sail for the Grenadines. The plan was to rent a few sail boats and spend a couple weeks going from island to island.


The journey begins on the tiny island of Petit Saint Vincent, a very small, but very beautiful island in the Grenadines. There is no airport, no TV, and no Internet. The only means of communication is a little yellow flag which you raise whenever you are feeling particularly hungry. Your typical day begins with fresh lobster and fruit on the beach. In short, it does NOT suck to be on Petit Saint Vincent.

Tony's friend, Norman Van Aken, is happy to leave the frozen tundra of Key West Florida and join the No Reservations crew in Petit Saint Vincent. However, Tony cashes in on the opportunity to take a few jabs at the chef and restauranteur known for accidentally/purposefully coining the term, fusion. "All of the crimes committed in the name of fusion," Tony says, "are directly attributed to this man."



Before long it is time to move on from Petit Saint Vincent to some of the other islands nearby. The other Islands are a perfect place for a little hunting, fishing, and getting to know the locals. Tragically, all good things must end, but the crew's time in the Grenadines will not soon be forgotten. It is the type of place that you fall in love with, making it decidedly hard to leave.

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