The first season of this tourist's delight follows Anthony Bourdain through Europe, Asia, and the United States as he gives travelers some real food for thought: why waste your layover sitting in the airport when you've been given the opportunity to double your vacation fun?

He soaks up as much culture as he can within 24 to 48 hours of layover time to provide viewers with the most unpredictable, unique stories of places, people, and their food. Bourdain also shares some top-of-the-line insider tips only the most experienced of travelers would know.

This DVD is comprised of ten episodes on two discs. It has a run time of 430 minutes and a suggested retail price of $19.98 Street date: June 5th, 2012
