Travel host Bourdain has appetite for news
Well-known chef and travel host Anthony Bourdain will soon be serving up food and travel news for CNN, which in the past has been widely known primarily for its news cover
He is leaving his Travel Channel series.
"Examining the world through the prism of Tony’s unique expertise and passions continues CNN’s long-standing commitment to international reporting and to promoting global understanding," said Mark Whitaker, CNN vp and managing editor.
Launching in early 2013, the show will be shot on location and examine cultures from around the world through their food and dining and travel rituals.
Bourdain, whose reporting has taken him from the culinary capitals of Europe, Asia and North and South America to such historically war-torn or isolated regions as Vietnam, Mozambique, Uzbekistan and Romania, will also offer commentary on other CNN programs.
Bourdain has been the host of the award-winning Travel Channel series "Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations" since 2005.
He is also the author of critically acclaimed non-fiction and fiction books, including the New York Times bestsellers "Kitchen Confidential" and "A Cook’s Tour."
