Where to Watch Season 10

8 Episodes

Singapore
E1
SingaporeAnthony Bourdain explores the diverse food and culture of Singapore. Yet with the city state's restrictions on personal freedom, he's forced to question whether it's a place where he'd ever want to live.
French Alps
E2
French AlpsThe gloves are off and the rivalry continues as Bourdain and his long time friend, three-Michelin-starred chef Eric Ripert, embark on a ski-and-cheese-filled journey through the French Alps – home advantage Ripert? Bourdain gets a glimpse into Ripert’s early life while tending a little too closely to cows, and overindulging in delicious cheese dishes. The pair team up to prepare a French meal, featuring caviar and steak au poivre, with the help of Ripert’s mentor Maurice Guillouet. Bourdain and Ripert also venture across the Italian border to La Maison Rose and surrender to Bourdain’s love of pasta with gnocchi, ravioli, and polenta.
Lagos, Nigeria
E3
Lagos, NigeriaOnce considered the most dangerous city in the world, Lagos is, in many ways, the epicenter of modern Africa. The driving force of the city is a pervasive, almost pathologically positive outlook, a sincerely entrenched “can do” spirit. The ingenuity of the Nigerian people is the focus of Bourdain’s travels as he explores its food, music, and rich cultural diversity. Among the food offerings are fresh fish dishes, spicy soups, a great deal of beef, and the ubiquitous pounded yam. Bourdain also spends time with Femi, Seun and Yeni Kuti, the children of Fela Kuti, a family that is still at the heart of Lagos’ creative, political and cultural scene.
Pittsburgh
E4
PittsburghBourdain delves into a dining scene at a crossroads: part iconic steel city defined by blue collar, working class comfort food, steak and potatoes, sausage and sauerkraut, and part foodie boom town catering to the new high tech industry.
Sri Lanka
E5
Sri LankaAs peace and hope spread throughout Sri Lanka following the end of its brutal civil war, Bourdain travels to the once divided regions to experience the reinvigorated people, savory food and vast landscapes.
Puerto Rico
E6
Puerto RicoWhen Bourdain heads to Puerto Rico to check out the reality behind the pi?a coladas and fancy resorts, he finds natural splendor, delicious food and warm people, all against the background of a seemingly insurmountable economic crisis.
Seattle
E7
SeattleBourdain immerses himself in the “boom or bust” city of Seattle. Two industries are reshaping the city and its culture – tech and the newly legalized cannabis industry. Bourdain gets the skinny on the “tech bro” invasion of Capitol Hill, throws back a dozen succulent oysters at the Taylor Shellfish Company and enjoys fish & chips at the Pacific Inn Pub with band members of The Gods Themselves. Along the way, he also hangs out with legendary Seattle rocker, Mark Lanegan and mad food scientist, Nathan Myhrvold.
Southern Italy
E8
Southern ItalyThe“Heel of the Boot” draws Bourdain back in time as he visits the largely untouched landscapes and colorful locals of Southern Italy and a culture steeped in both Christian and Pagan traditions. Unlike any other part of Italy, locals here perform a Taranta dance and speak the ancient language of “Grieco.” The local cuisine of the Southern Italy is showcased during a meal with Italian-American film director Francis Ford Coppola at his hotel, Palazzo Margherita, where Bourdain is served traditional dishes of the Basilicata region like ‘Pecora Pastorale,’ a Summer preparation of mutton and herbs.
