Returning: Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown

Season Two of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown launches next month on CNN in Jerusalem marking the first time Bourdain has filmed in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

The new season also takes him into “parts unknown” within Spain, New Mexico, Copenhagen, Sicily, Detroit, Tokyo and South Africa.

“Jerusalem” (Sept 16) – In the season premiere, the host and crew make their first trip to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza. While the political situation is often tense between the people living in these areas, Bourdain concentrates on their rich history, food and culture, and spends time with local chefs, home cooks, writers and amateur foodies.

“Spain” (Sept 23) – Anthony Bourdain explores Andalucía during Semana Santa (Holy Week, leading up to Easter), a time filled with great pageantry and excitement. Featured in this episode is Bourdain’s longtime Director of Photography Zach Zamboni, who lives part-time in Granada and shows the host sights off the beaten path.
