Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Rome

If you were worried The Blot Says… had stopped covering Season 6 of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, you can now all relax! After a four week hiatus, the Bourdain posts are back. This week Tony travels to one of the world's most beautiful cities, Rome. The episode is largely inspired by the films of Federico Fellini which painted a very specific picture of Rome in Tony's mind. Tony wanted to show his viewers the vision he has always had of Rome, which means the episode is presented entirely in black and white!


Surprisingly, Tony has never been to Rome! He has been all over the world, even all over Italy, but he has never had the pleasure of stopping by this historic city. What unfolds is a beautiful look at a beautiful city with foods that many people can only dream about. Tony begins with a little masterfully crafted bread, four year old fresh cut cheese, and a perfect prosciutto. Tony has so much great food in this episode he is afraid to show some of his newfound restaurants on television for fear of ruining them with an influx of foreigners.



In places that are frequently visited by outsiders, businesses are not rewarded for serving good food. But if you know where to look it is still possible to find an old school Roman family restaurant. They will undoubtedly be serving the latest seasonal ingredients from the region, because in Rome, seasonal food is not something you promote or talk about, it is something you just do. To find out more about these amazing seasonal foods, check out the video clip above.

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