Do not judge this show by either its name nor generic synopsis. This show is about yes...Bourdain and food. However, the message and subtext is far beyond just travel and gastronomy. Life, loss, relationships, understanding, acceptance and adventure all pepper every episode of this series. Bourdain has a way to make you feel how he is feeling at any peicise moment. Admiring the people and places he visits through their food, Bourdain captivates anyone who allows him to take them along for the ride. It is often said that food is memory, and this show is by no means a contradiction to that statement.
