Community program · Inaugural season 2027
A recurring, opt-in tribute to the late Anthony Bourdain and to Travel Channel hosts Samantha Brown and Andrew Zimmern: travel where they travelled, eat what they ate, and document it. January 1 – December 31, 2027.
Four challenges. One season. Every experience verified.

The challenges
Episode references are metadata only; we link to official channels and never host copyrighted episodes. Host names are tribute references.
The tribute
Three hosts taught a generation to eat where the city eats, to walk the side streets and to let a place introduce itself. The Challenge honours that spirit with verified, real-world experiences — never with re-hosted episodes or borrowed likenesses.
7 official-channel films across the four challenges, each click-to-play and never re-hosted.

Safety first: we never gamify unsafe eating, drinking or travel behaviour. Follow all local laws and official advisories.
1
Pick a destination the honoree featured. Any route, any budget — the challenge is the experience, not the spend.
2
Visit the place, take the walk, eat and drink what they did — dietary, cultural or religious constraints permitting, with no penalty.
3
Photos, video or a written entry uploaded to Sage. Tagging your own social channels is optional.
4
Editors verify each entry against the experience card. Points are awarded only for verified entries; ties go to the earliest.
