The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced its 2011 nominations for Primetime Emmy Awards this morning, and, as usual, a number of food programs were included.

On the exhaustive list of Emmy nominees were Top Chef for Outstanding Reality Competition (among other nominations); and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations for Outstanding Nonfiction Series, with a number of additional nods for the series's post-earthquake Haiti episode.

Top Chef and No Reservations were in good company: McDonald's, also a nominee, has been acknowledged in the Outstanding Commercial category. If you were in charge of the awards, which TV shows would you nominate?

Anthony Bourdain No Reservations Celebrates 100th Episode

Buzz In: What's Your Favorite Travel Show?

One of my favorite travel shows, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, marks its 100th episode on the Travel Channel tonight as its irreverent host heads to Paris for the perfect meal.

One of my favorite travel shows, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, marks its 100th episode on the Travel Channel tonight as its irreverent host heads to Paris for the perfect meal. For me, the exotic locations are what make No Reservations stand out amongst other food shows. (Well that, and Bourdain being the charming curmudgeon that he is).

On that note, as a TV fanatic, I often feed my travel urges by turning on the TV (it's much cheaper than a plane ticket). Sometimes I'm in the mood for the less-controversial Samantha Brown, other times I want the heartier fare of Man v. Food (to see the places host Adam Richman goes more so than watching him shovel food in his face). Do you have a favorite travel show?

Anthony Bourdain: Love Him or Leave Him?

Anthony Bourdain, bad-chef, author, and host of the Travel Channel's No Reservations, has been everywhere lately. In the past couple of months, he's publicly expressed his opinion for everything from food television to cupcakes to Alice Waters.

Personally, I'm getting a little sick of his shtick — he never has anything nice to say! How do you feel about him?

Tonight a special featuring everyone's favorite bad-boy celebrity chef, Anthony Bourdain, airs on the Travel Channel (at 10 p.m. ET). The show's called At the Table with Anthony Bourdain and is a no-holds-barred dinner with four interesting guests. The No Reservations host will be dining with writer Bill Buford, bar owner Amy Sacco, Ted Allen, and magazine editor Chris Wilson. The dinner was cooked by Wylie Dufresne, in his New York City restaurant's kitchen wd-50.

I'm excited to check out what happens when these five impressionarios sit down to dine and wonder what Dufresne will cook up! How about you? Will you watch?

What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to the titles below you can view the thriller We Own the Night starring Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg. Also on DVD today is Romance and Cigarettes, a musical that's definitely not for the High School Musical set.

Gone Baby Gone
For his directorial debut, Ben Affleck brings together a talented ensemble cast that includes his brother Casey Affleck, Morgan Freeman, Ed Harris and Amy Ryan. The film is set in the Affleck brothers' hometown of Boston and is adapted from a novel by the author of another dark Boston tale, Mystic River.

Casey plays Patrick Kenzie, a private detective hired to help bring home a missing 4-year-old girl. In the process, he discovers a complex and disturbing underworld based on the broken dreams of families living in one of the country's toughest neighborhoods.

Relative newcomer Amy Ryan earned herself an Oscar nomination for her portrayal as the little girl's drug addict mother, and our very own Boston native Molly really enjoyed this heart wrenching flick so it's a pretty safe bet for your Netflix queue.

A little depressing? Two more lovey titles are next so read more

2007's Favorite Foodie Show Is . .

As part of our Best of 2007 coverage, we asked you to name your favorite (noncooking or nonreality) food TV show.

As part of our Best of 2007 coverage, we asked you to name your favorite (noncooking or nonreality) food TV show. The majority of you — 26 percent — felt that Duff and the gang over at Ace of Cakes should have walked away the victor. However I'm going to have to go with the second-place winner, No Reservations. Perhaps it's my I'll-eat-anything-once spirit, but I love the way Bourdain travels the globe in search of the best eats. Yes, he does have that snarky demeanor, but he manages to do it humbly and is always the most gracious guest. Whether he's drinking pints in Ireland or sharing meals with school children in Ghana, Bourdain offers a wonderful snapshot of the world, one meal at a time.

It's CZJ's Time To Shine

Catherine Zeta-Jones' birthday isn't until next week, but she got a little early celebration while in Tokyo promoting No Reservations.

Catherine Zeta-Jones' birthday isn't until next week, but she got a little early celebration while in Tokyo promoting No Reservations. It's good to see she toned down the animal prints. CZJ looks happy to be globe trotting these days, and Michael Douglas recently told Parade that he's glad to stay behind and let her shine. He said,

I have a little bit of a lazy streak, and as much as I have accomplished, I’ve always been a little bit out of the loop. I also don’t mind being Mr. Mom. My wife is 25 years younger, and in the prime of her career, and I’m happy to give her as much space and time as she needs, especially as talented as she is.

Awww, it's always so sweet to hear Hollywood husbands gush about their wives and it's totally funny to imagine Michael Douglas as Mr. Mom. Having the whole family together is best of all - so hopefully they'll all have a blast on their adventure movie making in India. Obviously, CZJ has the wardrobe if they ever need to blend into animal habitats.
