REVIEW:ANTHONY BOURDAIN IN VIETNAM : 8 EPISODES I’ve also written a personal reflection on Bourdain. That’s what I’ve done on this page: a compilation in chronological order of all eight episodes of Bourdain’s shows filmed in Vietnam, from 2002 to 2016, covering north, south and central Vietnam, and produced over three separate TV shows: A Cook’s Tour, No Reservations, and Parts Unknown. Therefore, it seems to me that pulling together all of Anthony Bourdain’s Vietnam episodes from his entire TV career is the best we can do. Indeed, I always hoped Bourdain would some day devote an entire series to Vietnam: six full-length episodes during which he could really dive deep into the food, culture, history and landscape of the country he loved. Following Bourdain’s death, there have been many retrospectives of his life and work, but I’ve never seen, read or heard any that are dedicated solely to his coverage of Vietnam, a country for which he felt a special attachment. At the time I’m writing this, it’s almost three years since Anthony Bourdain took his own life at Le Chambard Hotel Restaurant Alsace in Kaysersberg-Vignoble, France, on June 8, 2018.
