Travel Channel: http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-shows/the-layover (photos and clips) "The show has a voice, and it's very much his voice," said Travel Channel president Pat Younge. "He tells it as he sees it. If it's good that means it's good; if it's bad, then he'll tell you it's bad. And that's a credibility that comes from experience, from knowledge and from being true to himself." “With The Layover we’re trying to do a cooler version of an informational show—things that I would actually do myself on a layover that other people might be able to do, too.” Anthony Bourdain Interview: http://news.travel.aol.com/2011/02/28/anthony-bourdain-americas-falling-behind-and-im-afraid-of-sa/ Anthony Bourdain Quotes: “Dive bars to 5 stars, this is what I would do in one action packed adventure.” “I’m like any traveller – I visit major cities, I enjoy major cities. There’s never a shortage of things to do. Let’s face it, when you travel the shortage is usually time.” “I’m going to show you how to cut right to the good stuff.” “The Layover is about cutting right to the heart of what’s good about a city. No time to waste.”
