the essentials · part 1 · chef, author and host of No Reservations, The Layover and Parts Unknown · 5 stops
Anthony Bourdain filmed in Hong Kong three times — No Reservations in 2007, The Layover in 2011, and the Parts Unknown episode he shot with cinematographer Christopher Doyle in 2018. These are the Cantonese stops caught on camera that are still open today: roast goose, roast meats, two bowls of wonton noodles, a Sheung Wan tea house, and a kitchen out in the Tai O stilt village. No quotes here — just the episode each visit came from.
