Season 2

Episodes

Jerusalem
In the season premiere of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, the host and crew make their first trip to Israel, the West Bank and Gaza.

Spain
Explores Andalucía during Semana Santa (Holy Week, leading up to Easter), a time filled with great pageantry and excitement.

New Mexico
Parts Unknown takes a close look at the mash-up of cultures that comprise this uniquely American state by sampling its food - a combination of Spanish, Mediterranean, Mexican, Pueblo and even chuck-wagon influences. New Mexico is also a land of drugs, guns, monster vehicles, and possibly extraterrestrials. It may also be the perfect place to investigate the underside of the Western cowboy ideal.

Copenhagen
This episode explores the food and natural beauty of Copenhagen, the economic and cultural center of Denmark.

Sicily
Parts Unknown explores the Sicilian way of life, which puts a premium on savoring family, life, and food. Bourdain travels in search of those foods as he eats his way around the island.

South Africa
In this episode, Bourdain visits the suburb of Hillbrow (which remains a dangerous locale), spends a day in the life of a taxi driver and discovers the culture and food that make up modern day Johannesburg.

Tokyo
Japan is a paradox. The low birthrate, the dedication, the conformity, and the life of a salary man are well known. There is also a competitive and rigid culture that gives way to some unique subcultures. Bourdain has traveled to Tokyo countless times, but on this trip, he is in search of the city's dark, extreme, and bizarrely fetishistic underside.

Detroit
Few cities have experienced such a dramatic economic rise and fall of Detroit. In this episode of Parts Unknown, Bourdain explores the past, present and future of the Motor City.
