Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - Venice

Tonight’s episode of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations sounds like a good one as Tony heads to Italy to visit one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venice. His goal during this trip is to step away from the Venice most tourists get to see and explore the real Venice, the Venice of the Venetian people. Venice and its amazing waterways is one of the coolest cities The Blot has ever been to, and if you’ve never had the opportunity go there then I highly recommending watching tonight’s episode of No Reservations.


For all the foodies out there tonight’s episode will feature some great local and exotic dishes, including a fresh risotto so good that Tony ranks it as one of his favorite meals ever. He’ll then travel the city feasting on fresh tree figs, plump tomatoes, freshly cut basil, sea bass, spider crab and any other local Venetian delicacies he can get his hands on. Check out the sneak peek video clip below from tonight’s No Reservations and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about:

Big Love Season 3 Television Poster

HBO’s Big Love is finally returning to TV this Sunday with an all new season after over a year hiatus. I have to be honest, I tried watching Big Love’s first season and couldn’t get into it. I ended up only watching the show’s first two episodes that year. Then, when Big Love Season 2 debuted I decided to give it another shot and you know what, I got hooked. Not only that, but Aly got hooked too. Needless to say we’re both really excited for Big Love’s third season to get underway on January 18th and I highly recommend renting Big Love Seasons 1 & 2 if you either don't have HBO or have never watched an episode of the HBO drama before. Once you get past that whole polygamy thing the show becomes a really moving and startling look at family life.


Big Love airs every Sunday on HBO at 9/8c.
