I blogged a little while back about chef, author and television personality Anthony Bourdain’s moving article in Salon about his experience in Beirut as the bombs began falling there earlier this year.

Tonight at 10 p.m., Travel Channel airs the episode of Bourdain’s show, “No Reservations,” about Beirut. If it’s anything like the Salon piece, it’s a must-watch. (Along with, of course, Spike Lee’s documentary about Katrina, the first part of which airs tonight at 9 on H.B.O. Decisions, decisions.)
