Anthony Bourdain is back with the high-octane series The Layover in which he explores an unexpected destination in just 24-48 hours. Viewers get a ringside seat as Tony explores a different jet-setting hub proving that layovers are opportunities for travelers to mingle with locals, crash parties, dine on local cuisine, and explore cultures.
