CNN International launches new lifestyle program

CNN International has announced the premiere of a new lifestyle series starting this Friday, hosted by the world-renowned chef Anthony Bourdain.

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown is a one-hour lifestyle series following the chef as he travels across the globe to uncover little-known areas of the world and celebrate diverse cultures by exploring food and dining rituals.

The first episode of the series offers an inside look at Myanmar. In his maiden voyage to the country formerly known as Burma, Bourdain and his crew discover the fabled beauty and local cuisines of a country that had been, up until recently, off-limits to outsiders. Future episodes include tours of Libya, Colombia, the Quebecois side of Canada, Koreatown in Los Angeles, Tangier, Peru and the Congo.
