Anthony Bourdain Is Coming To The Jersey Shore

Bourdain's show "Parts Unknown" visited the Jersey Shore for an upcoming episode!

Bourdain, 58, grew up in Leonia in north Jersey. In a Bon Appétit article, he wrote that growing up, the Jersey Shore was "where we were more likely to vacation."

Bourdain returned to Jersey to film this past winter, stopping in Fort Lee at Hiram's, famous for its fried hot dogs, before heading to Asbury Park, Barnegat Light, and Atlantic City.

From the episode description:

Bourdain travels to his childhood home state with his brother Chris and rekindles memories at classic roadside joint Hiram’s, known for its fried hotdogs, and Barnegat Light in Ocean County. He heads further down the shore to Atlantic City and stops by the Knife and Fork, Docks Oyster House with local reporter Brian Donohue, the Baltimore Grill to see husband and wife comedians Rich Vos and Bonnie McFarlane, and tours Asbury Park with none other than famed musician Southside Johnny.

The New Jersey episode airs May 31 at 9 p.m. on CNN.
