Bourdain shot "Parts Unknown" for Atlanta-based CNN and visited Atlanta for a 2013 episode of "The Layover" on the Travel Channel.

AJC food writer Wendell Brock reviewed Bourdain's most recent cookbook, 2016's "Appetites," writing, "At the end of it all, this book is Bourdain's best effort at maturity, told with playfulness and heart. After so many years of seeking out the weird and living to tell the tale, the scabrous, trash-talking Bourdain seems happiest on familiar ground: home."
