Anthony Bourdain has traveled to all sorts of exotic places with none as important as where he's taken CNN itself.

Bourdain's Parts Unknown series, a culinary travelogue, swiftly became the network's top-rated series since debuting last April, a bright spot at a place that was in a severe dry spell before the missing Malaysian plane kicked up ratings.

A new eight-episode season begins Sunday.

"We are constantly asking ourselves, first and foremost, what is the most (messed) up thing we can do next week?" Bourdain said.

The season-opener from India illustrates what makes Parts Unknown unique. Bourdain tells stories about the tense border between India and Pakistan and a Sikh gathering place where a free meal is served to tens of thousands of people each day

... For the second episode, Bourdain goes to Las Vegas, where he talks to casino workers, eats Japanese food with Penn Jillette and explains how electronic dance music is big business in the way Wayne Newton was.

Mexico City, the Mississippi Delta, Thailand, Russia and Brazil are on the itinerary the next two months.
