EAT. DRINK. TRAVEL. LIVE will feature the following ongoing series:

ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS: When it comes to food and travel, Anthony Bourdain abandons the traditional and embraces the extraordinary. Bourdain, with his unique style and sense of humor, travels the globe seeking the authentic experiences and flavorful foods that magnify the essence of the world’s cultures. His quest for the perfect dining experience takes audiences to far-out and familiar places, from Iceland to New Zealand and Paris to New Jersey.

CIUDADES Y COPAS: The series that journeys into the exotic cities of Latin America in search of the most popular regional drinks, also takes its cameras to the United States. The local scenery, culture and character of Los Angeles and Miami are presented through select beverages that represent those cities. The series features unusual coffee, tea, wine, cocktails and spirits.

THE SMITHS’ HOTELS FOR 2: Based on a popular series of travel guides, Andrew Grahame and Juliet Kinsman, the co-creators of the “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” books, will investigate rural spa retreats, boutique hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and other sites around the world to determine which locations deserve a place in the latest guide.

STRANDED WITH CASH PETERS: Cash Peters tells it like it is, with a no-holds-barred humor that is paradoxically merciless and endearing. The perpetual outsider, Cash will see if he can truly count on the better part of humanity to let him into their lives and hearts – and hopefully provide a bed and meal along the way. The series explores locales both iconic and unknown among domestic and international destinations.

TRAVEL SPIES: Three hosts travel incognito to major tourist destinations to uncover the real experience regular travelers receive to offer travel recommendations. Experts test the claims each company makes about its amenities as they assess the staff and service. Cruise ships and hotels located in Key West, U.S. Virgin Islands, Arizona and Los Angeles are among the destinations featured in the series.
