Go On A Virtual Vacation With These TVB Travel Variety Shows

For many jet setters, going on that dream vacation abroad will have to be shelved for the meantime. However, if you still fantasise about packing a suitcase and trotting around the globe, here’s some good news for you: I’ve curated a list of famous Hong Kong travel variety dramas that are sure to bring you on a virtual tour from the comfort of your home!

While it may not be your much-anticipated sojourn in Paris or Seoul, it’s the next best thing when it comes to travelling around the world. All you need to do is whip out your mobile device and download the handy TVBAnywhere+ streaming app! Boasting the most comprehensive library of  TVB TV shows in Singapore , you’ll be spoilt for choice with the array of travel variety shows available. There’s even a free 1-month premium trial for you to watch all your favourite  Hong Kong dramas   to your heart’s content.

So, get your virtual passport ready, for the following travel variety shows are taking you on an adventure from home! Who knows, they may even inspire you for your next holiday destination when travel resumes.

1. A Chef And A Gentleman ( 懿想得到 )

After making a breakthrough with hit Hong Kong series Who Wants A Baby (BB來了), famed TVB star Lai Lok Yi (黎諾懿) has taken on a new role as a host in travel variety show: A Chef And A Gentleman (懿想得到)! The famed actor is a familiar face in the TVB scene, for he has previously starred in prominent Cantonese dramas such as the swoon-worthy Moonlight Resonance (溏心風暴之家好月圓) and thrilling Murder Diary (刑偵日記). As a massive fan of his, it’s refreshing to see him move past acting roles and dabble in hosting.

Even if you’re unable to travel the world at this moment, let Lai Lok Yi (黎諾懿) and his trusty companions take you on a virtual tour instead! Together with veteran actors Ekin Cheng (鄭伊健), Mat Yeung (楊明), Ali Lee (李佳芯), and more, I’ve had so many laughs touring with this comedic group as they venture around different countries to immerse in new cultures!

Personally, I think the show is a rollercoaster ride of fun, for the actors get to try their hands at intriguing activities. Imagine visiting a love hotel, being a chef for a day, and overcoming  all  your fears (heights, anybody?). How I wish I could have a go at these activities as well, but for the time being, I guess we’ll have to attempt these experiences through the screen! For a TV series that features lots to see and do, be sure to check out A Chef And A Gentleman (懿想得到).

2. Bazaar Carnivals – Asia ( 街市遊樂團 – 星馬篇 )

It has been said that Asia boasts some of the best travel destinations in the world. While we often have our hearts set on visiting beautiful countries such as Korea or Japan, perhaps looking to our shores and exploring the different places in our homeland makes for an experience like no other!

Fans of travel variety shows will be happy to know that influential Hong Kong actors, Elena Kong (江美儀), Joyce Tang (滕麗名), and Mak Cheung-ching (麥長青) have reprised their roles as hosts in Bazaar Carnival – Asia (街市遊樂團-星馬篇). In this latest series, they’ll be introducing the best sights and eats in Malaysia and Singapore (yes, you can check against what you know of Singapore’s best eats!)

To spice things up, the esteemed show follows the trio as they visit hot attractions frequented by Hong Kong tourists in both countries. You’ll be gleaning insight into one-of-a-kind markets with local flavours and quirky souvenirs, some you might not have even seen before!

This series was an eye-opening adventure for me; it was actually pretty interesting to have foreign celebrities introduce various parts of the countries that I’m familiar with! Brought a new perspective to the sights and sounds around me. So, if you haven’t watched Bazaar Carnivals – Asia (街市遊樂團-星馬篇) yet, I urge you to do so, for you get to experience the beauty of both countries all over again.

3. K’s For Korea (Sr.2) (K 小姐懶人包 Sr.2) 

All tourists can agree that Korea is a gorgeous travel destination not to be missed. And to quell your wanderlust for the Land of Morning Calm, K’s For Korea (Sr.2) (K 小姐懶人包 Sr.2)   is the ultimate variety show to get hooked on!

And just like its name suggests, you can have your fill of rich Korean dosage with this series all day, every day. After the first season of K’s For Korea (K 小姐懶人包) skyrocketed to fame, fans of the show were clamouring for a sequel – and now you have it!

Once again, Yip Wai-tung (Krystal 葉韋彤) takes on the role as a host, bringing audiences around South Korea searching for lesser-known attractions and outskirt locations. If you ask me, I think it’s an exciting take on the unique places in Korea, for there’s so much to experience in this culturally rich location that not many tourists are aware of what the country offers.

So, if you’re keen on having a glimpse of some of Korea’s captivating historical sites and scenery, then you must stay tuned to K’s For Korea (Sr.2) (K 小姐懶人包 Sr.2)! I dare say that after watching this series, you’ll be charting down Korea as your next go-to vacation spot!

Conclusion 

Ready to start your virtual vacation today? The TVBAnywhere+ app is here to accompany you as you embark on new lands, whether it’s through the larger or smaller screens. We’re all for offering you that vacation you need, whether at home or on the go!

Priscilla Wong Flies to Europe for New Travel Show

tvb travel show host

Returning to her roots as a host, Priscilla Wong (黃翠如) had the opportunity to travel to many different places, including Monaco, Switzerland, Ukraine, and Italy for a new travel show.

Visiting Moldova, which is one of the poorest countries in Europe, Priscilla expressed that the kind people and rich culture filled her with curiosity and she slowly fell in love with the place. Priscilla expressed that she is enjoying the opportunity to film a travel show by herself. “I’ve always filmed these shows on my own in the past. It’s better to be alone, because I get more opportunities to converse and connect with the people and culture.”

Becoming sentimental, Priscilla shared a photo of a Switzerland seaside on her social media and reflected, “What’s beyond that line? Will I ever cross it? One day, I will know how far I have come.”

Traveling to faraway places often inspires Priscilla to make deep reflections. Previously, Priscilla was in Malaysia serving as a guest judge for the third season of the singing show, Family Singing Show 3. Sharing her experiences on the show, Priscilla recounted, “In the show, there were many families with very touching stories. I would be so touched that I’d often send text messages to my family letting them know how much I love them!”

Although currently unable to accompany Priscilla in Europe, her husband Edwin Siu (蕭正楠) is closely monitoring her social media updates. He posted, “All I know, is that you are too far away from me right now.” Netizens swooned at Edwin’s sweet comment and urged him to fly over and join her.

HK-based Malaysian actress Angie Cheong promotes Ipoh in new TVB travel show

  • Entertainment

Friday, 05 May 2023

In addition to beautiful locations, Angie Cheong also introduced HK actor Milkson Fong to some of Ipoh's popular delicacies. Photo: Angie Cheong/Facebook

After shooting two seasons of the travel show, We’re All Wildlings in Hong Kong, host Milkson Fong turns his attention to Malaysia in the third season.

In this TVB travel/variety show, Fong, 35, embarks on an adventurous journey outdoors by going zip-lining, off-roading, rock climbing and bungee jumping, among others.

Hong Kong-based Malaysian actress Angie Cheong, who was invited to the show, took this opportunity to introduce the beauty of her hometown Ipoh to Fong.

In the episode, which aired on Wednesday (May 3), the 52-year-old actress took Fong to many beautiful locations in Ipoh. One of it was the popular Kek Look Tong cave temple, which has become a bustling tourist spot thanks to its airy and serene vibe.

In addition to picturesque locations, the Never Dance Alone star also introduced her friend to popular Ipoh dishes such as bean sprout chicken, curry chicken bun and Malaysia's beloved "king of fruits", the durian.

"Aside from showcasing delicious food and beautiful sceneries, I want to promote the enthusiasm of Ipoh people (in the episode).

"(Fong) specially came all the way from Hong Kong (to film his show), so I must introduce Ipoh well to him," she said.

On Facebook, Cheong shared some photos she took while filming with Fong in Ipoh. The post quickly gained the attention of netizens, who then took to the comment section to welcome the Hong Kong star to Ipoh.

Many also praised Cheong for promoting the city.

Cheong and Fong previously worked together in the 2019 TVB drama, Handmaidens United.

The actress previously won Miss Chinese Malaysia back in 1992 and was later offered a TVB contract.

She has starred in several shows such as A Kindred Spirit, Journey To The West and Happy Ever After.

The best travel TV shows to stream right now

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

  • With travel suspended in the midst of the pandemic, armchair travelers are seeking ways to experience the world while under shelter-in-place guidance.
  • One easy way to safely experience the globe right now is by streaming any of these incredible travel TV shows, which include straightforward travelogues, food-centric travel shows, nature documentaries, and even animation to inspire future travel plans.
  • All are available to stream across platforms including Amazon , Disney+ , Hulu , and more.
  • Read all Business Insider travel reviews here.

Insider Today

Travel was one of the first industries to grind to a halt as the pandemic crisis spread around the world and all non-essential activities fell in line soon after.

Now, with most of the planet under shelter-in-place guidance, travelers find themselves in the position of plotting their next moves from quarantine. That can mean booking cheap refundable flights or hotels far into the future or, a more cautious approach, indulging in some serious armchair traveling.

Travel books are one great way to do this , but streaming is another. Some of the best travel shows are available to watch on-demand and can soothe and inspire. Our picks for the best travel programs are available on the likes of Amazon , Disney+ , Hulu , and others. Selections include a range of content, from those with current or recent seasons to ones that ended production prior to the pandemic. We included, of course, Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown; the late chef's show will forever be essential travel viewing.

In addition to straightforward travelogues, we also included shows that are also largely food-focused on their face, such as Chef's Table, as well as critically-acclaimed picks, and some of my personal favorites as a longtime travel writer, editor, and globe trotter. 

Additionally, nature programs showcase the far reaches of the world, even highlighting its fragility, as a way to remind us to travel as responsibly as possible when we are able to return to the practice .

Here are the best travel TV shows to stream right now.

Anthony bourdain's parts unknown.

tvb travel show host

Anthony Bourdain is the quintessential travel show host — not only adventuresome but also conscious, critical, clever, literary, and far from fawning for its own sake.

The chef and author's thoughtful take may be just what you need right now, as we all seek meaning amid the current crisis. When Bourdain died in 2018, it was among the biggest stories I covered in my capacity as a travel and food journalist — until the current pandemic. Both events will leave indelible impacts.

Bourdain's show has continually been available for streaming in the nearly two years since his death. For some of the most treasured (and famous) episodes, check out the Vietnam episode in Season eight in which Bourdain famously sat down with then-president Barack Obama over beers on plastic stools. In all, Parts Unknown has 12 seasons to stream, including the last one that aired after his death. 

Stream Parts Unknown  or sign up for Amazon Prime here

Planet earth.

tvb travel show host

If you want to luxuriate in our planet's impossibly stunning natural beauty, you're going to want to indulge in a marathon watching of both Planet Earth (2006) and its sequel, Planet Earth II (2017).

With meditative — even hypnotic — narration by Sir David Attenborough, and jaw-dropping cinematography, the nature documentaries take viewers on a tour of earth's plants and animals by environment — think mountains, jungles, caves, deserts, grasslands, oceans — and in the sequel, cities.

When the news is too much to bear, this is what I watch for a dash of mindfulness and gratitude for our planet's beauty and bounty.

Stream Planet Earth and Planet Earth II or sign up for Amazon Prime here

tvb travel show host

This is the nature documentary I watch when I have a bit more stomach for a serious tone. Our Planet explores human impact on the natural environment. And although those messages might be tough to take sometimes, Our Planet stunningly depicts a world of such miraculous order and beauty, we must work to protect it at all costs. The series reflects on ways to do that, and it can be a meaningful practice during quarantine in the time of crisis on another front.

The Netflix original documentary series is a collaboration between World Wildlife Federation, Netflix, and Silverback Films, and has won two Emmys. Episodes include sweeping views and climate change commentary on areas as frozen worlds, jungles, the high seas, fresh water, jungles, coastal seas, forests, and more. Oh, and yes — if you like David Attenborough, you'll love him as narrator here too.

Stream Our Planet on Netflix

Anthony bourdain no reservations.

tvb travel show host

Yes, he deserves two slots on this list, for before there was Parts Unknown on CNN, there was Anthony Bourdain's Emmy-winning No Reservations on the Travel Channel.

It ran nine seasons between 2005 and 2012 and in this earlier series, the chef and author exhibits his signature critical eye, literary voice, zest for life and travel, and intense empathy toward other humans.

In seasons seven and eight, available for streaming now (a total of 30 episodes), Bourdain swims with bluefin tuna off the Croatian coast, takes a boozy tour of the world's only pub tram in Finland, tears through the California high desert in a classic car, ventures deep into Brazil's Amazon for a prehistoric delicacy, and leads us on many other delicious adventures.

It's the perfect balm if you're missing both travel and the brilliant Bourdain, the intoxicatingly charismatic host who had the best job in the world.

Stream No Reservations or sign up for Hulu here

Rick steves' europe.

tvb travel show host

Along with Bourdain, Rick Steves is among the most quintessential travel hosts. But unlike Bourdain, Steves lulls the viewer into a peaceful, carefree state, where he is the calm-voiced, judgment-free guide. And we are more than happy to follow along on cobblestone paths and through fragrant markets.

Since the 1970s, Steves has been leading tours to Europe, and making shows about them since the '80s. His mastery and laid back approach sets the tone for historic and cultural adventures in Rick Steves' Europe, with 10 seasons available for streaming.

Make a bowl of popcorn and set out for European festivals, ancient Rome, or historic London. Plus, Steves has some episodes devoted to sharing tips for planning, packing, and other travel skills, so you'll be ready to get going as soon as it's safe.

Stream Rick Steves' Europe or sign up for Hulu here

Amazing hotels: life beyond the lobby.

tvb travel show host

If you love amazing hotels (guilty, that's why I review them here ) and you'd love to spend some quarantine time drooling over some of the world's absolute finest, and mentally bookmarking them for later, this one is for you.

In this sleek series, restaurant critic Giles Coren and chef Monica Galetti visit some of the world's most over-the-top properties to experience the way they create the ultra-luxurious, even supernatural seeming, guest experience. They also spend time getting to know employees and explore their personal lives outside work.

Episodes include looks inside Sweden's Icehotel , Canada's Fogo Island Inn , Kenya's Giraffe Manor , Singapore's Marina Bay Sands , Ecuador's Mashpi Lodge , and Morocco's Royal Mansour Marrakech . That last one I saw only after I visited the property located within Marrakech's medina. I wish I'd seen it first so I had known about the wild machinations going on literally underneath my feet in subterranean employee channels meant to keep guests fully insulated from the staff's monumental efforts.

Watch Amazing Hotels on YouTubeTV

Chef's table.

tvb travel show host

There are now six seasons of this Emmy-nominated series, which goes around the world to get deep with chefs who are putting their own unique spins on highly elevated gourmet food and desserts in their corners of the globe.

Yes, the travelogue component is incredible and wanderlust worthy. But if you're skeptical of the whole food-is-art notion, prepare to be convinced — and have your mind blown by the gorgeous cinematography that presents food every bit like museum-worthy masterpieces.

Dominque Crenn of San Francisco's Atelier Crenn; Virgilio Martínez, the owner of Peru's Central restaurant; Tuscan butcher Dario Cecchini; and Southern food chef Macadam Bailey are among the featured personalities.

Ken burns: the national parks — america's best idea.

tvb travel show host

Yes, I'm a little jittery these days. (You too?) But even under normal circumstances, Ken Burns' whole approach to documentary filmmaking soothes me: the voice, the panning over still photos.

This six-part, 12-hour documentary series by Burns and his longtime colleague Dayton Duncan took more than six years to film and covers all the individuals — soldiers, scientists, artist, entrepreneurs, and more — who devoted themselves to preserving precious parkland around the country.

I covered the premiere of this series over a decade ago at a party at LA's Paramount Ranch hosted by the great California travel personality Huell Howser. Howser has since died and the ranch burned in the Woolsey Fire. All of this further reminds me of the fragility of people and places, and the importance of being present in a given moment — both things I intend to keep in mind when travel resumes.

Plus, if you ever thought national parks were ho-hum domestic travel ideas compared to far-flung destinations, this documentary will have you thinking differently — if quarantine life hadn't already done that.

Stream The National Parks or sign up for Amazon Prime here

Let her lead you into a lesser-seen side of the Caribbean in her new two-part documentary, Joanna Lumley’s Hidden Caribbean: Havana to Haiti, which begins in a boxing gym in the lively Cuban capital.

Keep watching as she wanders the streets of Havana, discovers  Hemingway’s favourite beach and explores Fidel Castro’s hometown, before  making her way over the Windward Passage to end her adventure with trips to ancient mountain fortresses and a mystical voodoo ceremony in Haiti.

6. Night on Earth (2020)

What to watch:  Even when you're travelling, you don't get to see some of the most incredible sights - because some of them happen under the very cover of darkness.

In Netflix's Night on Earth , you can see this world open up before you, witnessing the secret lives of lions, bats and monkeys. Eerie and visually compelling stuff.

Where to watch it:  Night on Earth is on Netflix now. 

7. James May: Our Man In Japan (2020)

What you'll watch:  We know you loved Japan with Sue Perkins , but now that's it not available on iPlayer… how about racing through the island country with James May, instead?

Starting on the chilly northern island of Hokkaido, James embarks on a journey south to the balmy beaches of Shikoku and Kyushu, while meeting samurai in Honshu, sampling street food in Osaka and, of course, tackling the Suzuka Circuit on his way. 

Where to watch it:  Watch  James May: Our Man in Japan  on Amazon Prime now. 

8. Travel Man: 48 Hours in… (2019)

What you'll watch:  Richard Ayoade's droll two-day jaunts through cities across the world has provided us all with laughs since 2015.

While 2019's series was his last as lead presenter, we can still look forward to more Travel Man in the future as Hugo Boss – aka the the comedian formerly known as Joe Lycett – takes over the role.

If you haven't seen 48 Hours in… Amsterdam , it's the perfect episode to get a feel for Hugo's personality and learn more about the city's culture, cuisine and canals. 

Where to watch it: Find the past ten series of Travel Man: 48 Hours in… on All 4 .

9. Great Railway Journeys with Michael Portillo (2019)

What you'll watch:  Thousands of British commuters have  plenty to say about UK train travel, but in the hands of Michael Portillo, the divisive subject matter seems to take on a golden glow of nostalgia.

You know best, after all – you voted for the BBC's  Great Railway Journeys  as one of your top TV programmes in the last year.

Delving into the history of British rail, Michael reveals things we never knew about our local stations, including how an unlikely collaboration between London’s Crossrail railway project and a conservation charity is helping to protect birdlife in Series 11's Limehouse to Rochford episode. 

Where to watch it:  Look out for your local station on  Great British Railway Journeys   on iPlayer. 

10. Around the World in 80 Days (1989)

What to watch:  It's an oldie, but definitely a goodie – what could be better than staying in and getting a glimpse of how the world used to be with TV icon Michael Palin?

In Around the World in 80 Days , Michael follows in the footsteps of its main character Phileas Fogg, setting off on an epic adventure from London's Reform Club across the world.

Close shaves, missed connections and inevitable delays await as he desperately attempts to meet the 80-day deadline in time. A delicious throwback to a simpler time. 

Where to watch it:  Watch  Around the World in 80 Days on iPlayer . 

11. Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (2013)

What to watch:  The late Anthony Bourdain's Emmy-winning travel series is a must-watch for any traveller whose adventures are driven by a passion for excellent food.

Parts Unknown sees the world-renowned chef and documentarian delve into cuisines, cultures and politics in countries across the globe. Essentially, he eats his way around the world. 

With 12 seasons covering countless destinations (Vietnam and New York said to be two of his favourites), the later seasons take viewers on an off-the-beaten-track culinary journey through Armenia, Uruguay, Myanmar and beyond. 

Where to watch it: You can stream the series on Amazon Prime now.

12. Dark Tourist (2018)

What to watch: If you've watched the majority of travel TV already, here's one that may have slipped by you.

TV presenter David Farrier deep dives into so-called 'dark tourism': worldwide interest in visiting sites of nuclear disasters, destinations marred by danger or even death. If you've been to Chernobyl and Pripyat in Ukraine, you'll understand the fascination.

You can expect to see a trip to Turkmenistan, a visit to Pablo Escobar's former playground, Medellin in Colombia, as well as an excursion to Tomioka in Japan, the ghost town left behind after residents were evacuated following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. 

Where to watch it: You can stream one season of  Dark Tourist now on Netflix .

Plan B is like no other time travel show you've ever seen

The show's creators say adapting the hit quebec show for english audiences gave them their own 'second chance'.

Social Sharing

Two people of indeterminate gender in dark suits with blonde hair stand in front of a white panel van in a still frame from the show Plan B.

The hit Québecois TV series Plan B is not your typical time-travel story. For one thing, it almost aggressively does not care about the mechanics of time travel. There are no DeLoreans here. No Tardises. No wormholes. A set of tall, blonde twins in matching dark suits throw you in the back of a van, and you wake up in your desired destination in the past. That's it. 

  • Watch This! On TV in February: The long-awaited return of Party Down and a crime-solving Natasha Lyonne

Instead, Plan B — the English adaptation of which debuts on CBC on Feb. 27 — is focused on the "why" of time travel, not the how. And in this case, the "why" is regret. 

"That's a core thing that does transfer across all cultures," says screenwriter Lynne Kamm, who helped the show's original creators, Jean-François Asselin and Jacques Drolet, adapt the series for the Anglophone market. 

The show's protagonist Philip ( Suits star Patrick J. Adams) is a 30-something lawyer who uses the services of a shadowy company called Plan B to save his failing relationship and struggling practice. Plan B allows you to revisit your own past and fix your mistakes. But as is always the case in time travel, making new choices in the past can often create a new, different set of problems going forward.

People who use Plan B's services also don't come back to their original timeline — they just keep on living in the new one. The show's approach to time travel is so unusual that it initially made it tough for the series to get made.

"It took about eight years to complete the first season," says Drolet. "We hadn't seen, on television at that time, people who go back to the past and don't come back to the present."

In the pre-streaming era, he says, TV executives were worried about whether audiences would be able to follow the plot from week to week over 10 episodes. Asselin adds that the rise of streaming and the popularity of six-episode seasons in Québec helped the show get made.

When it came time to make an English-language version of the show — France and Belgium already have their own versions of Plan B , while Germany's is currently in production — Kamm was a natural choice to help adapt the script. She has developed a bit of a niche in Canadian television as "the French-English whisperer," as she puts it, helping adapt Québec shows to English Canadian markets. She previously helped create the English version of cop drama 19-2 . She says that working on that show really helped her understand when to stick to the original script and when to start making changes.

Patrick J. Adams on playing the liar in CBC psychodrama Plan B

"The first season and a half [of 19-2 ], we very strictly followed the original," she says. "But then you realize that you have different casts and you have different buyers. Your cast changes everything. Louis Morrissette and Patrick J. Adams are two very human beings. Karine Vanasse [who plays Philip's girlfriend Evelyne], she's a powerhouse. Different actors are going to take and embody the characters differently, so you really need to write to the strengths of your cast."

  • Suits actor Patrick J. Adams time travels in CBC adaptation of Quebecois psychodrama Plan B

Asselin says that, in some ways, making the show again in English was kind of his own "Plan B" experience. 

"We were shooting in the same locations, but instead of shooting [Québecois Plan B star] Louis Morissette, I was shooting Patrick J. Adams," he says. "We were having the same problems; the actors were asking me the same questions in English that the actors had asked me in French."

He and Drolet say that re-making the show gave them a chance to fix things they didn't like about the original. They wanted to make the audience more invested in Philip and Evelyne's relationship this time around. 

A man in a suit holds a bouquet of roses.

"You start with a couple falling apart; it's tough to root for them," he says. "The actors brought a lot of depth to it … I told them, in the way you look at each other, we need to know, 'Why are they together?'"

Part of getting audiences more invested also involved re-imagining Evelyne a little bit, giving her more agency and making her less a subject of her partner's choices.

"We were able to actualize [the character]," explains Drolet, "because we [created the character] maybe 15 years ago, and the character is different because society has really progressed quickly in that time."

"It was fun to revoice her," adds Kamm. "She was a fun character and it was just about infusing her and making her a more active participant."

Plan B , the English version, will be making its series debut just a few days after the debut of Season 4 of Plan B , the Québec version. In Québec, the series is an anthology, and that's the same thing that Drolet, Asselin and Kamm have planned for the English show — meaning next season, there will be a new cast trying to fix a new set of regrets (although presumably the twins and the van will remain).

  • Stuff the British Stole host Marc Fennell wants to shake up our 'cultural amnesia'

"Each year there's a new character," says Asselin. "The tone changes; the story changes."

Hopefully, though, the twins and the van will remain a constant.

After 8 successful seasons of No Reservations, Anthony parted ways with the Travel Channel to have more say in where he travelled. This is where Anthony Bourdain, Parts Unknown comes in. This series focuses on some of the world’s lesser-known foodie spots, along with some spots that Anthony is particularly passionate about. Although a little older here than his past work, there is still a sense of debauchery that Anthony is known for. This comes out in some episodes such as a wild night of bar and food hopping through Thailand. This is contrasted with an insightful look into these less visited locals and the food and people that bring the culture alive. While this series is still based on food, expect to dive deep into the culture and history of the region.

Unfortunately, Anthony left the world by suicide, but he has left a legacy to try different food and explore the world (or your backyard) to the fullest.

Ugly delicious

Ranker TV

There's something captivating about non-fiction TV that allows even seemingly boring subjects to pull you in and hold your attention episode after episode, and it is especially true with food travel shows. While most of us don't lead a life that allows us to travel to exotic countries and eat whatever random and delicious food is being sold on the street, whenever food and travel shows come on TV there's few of us who can resist the hunger to tune in. The best food and travel TV shows are a mix of delicious HD food porn, quirky hosts that know their spices, and wish-fulfillment that involves seeing all the places you'll never visit and the five-star meals you'll never eat. Simply put, food travelogue series makes us feel good (and hungry) and the best ones are just plain old entertaining TV.

So whether you're flipping through the Food Network on a day off, burning hours at a time on Netflix, going around the world thanks to all of Zimmern's Travel Channel food shows, or actively seeking out and sharing clips of your favorite food and travel shows online, there's no denying that the top food travelogue shows can make us salivate in front of our TVs and keep us there until well past dinner. So go on and fire up the grill, enjoy a quick and easy sushi meal while traveling down an ancient river, eat all the street food in the world without worrying about getting sick, and rank the best food and travel shows ever.
