No Reservations: Washington DC!
“Try Tipping Bitch!”
- Anthony Bourdain (on Rachel Ray’s $40 per day show)
In the next episode of No Reservations, Tony heads out to explore the city of contrasts – democrat vs. republican, affluent vs. poor, visible vs. invisible. His visit to Washington D.C. doesn’t stop at the U-Street Corridor, the International Spy Museum, nor the D.C. Central Kitchen – he also makes his way to hotspots in the outlying areas of Arlington and Falls Church.
The DC episode is unique for a number of reasons; he finds pleasure dining at the home of the world’s greatest chili dogs (Tony agrees), where President-elect Obama just visited, digs deep into the spectrum that is D.C., home to dozens of different cultures and languages, and meets a number of interesting famous and non-famous people along the way. In my opinion, it’s always great to see Tony in America, exploring cities that we all know and allowing us to see them in a different light. The best part for me – he eats my all-time favorite dish, Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs.
The all-new episode airs Monday, January 19th at 10pm on the Travel Channel.
The video this week is a bit different from previous weeks – it’s almost a full scene from Ben’s Chili Bowl within the episode, I think you’ll like it:
