Anthony Bourdain's New Tour Heads to Nashville in July

Culinary raconteur and world traveler Anthony Bourdain is planning a return to Nashville, as the host of CNN's Parts Unknown will hit Jackson Hall at the TPAC on July 7.

The first stop on a ten-city tour entitled "Close to the Bone," a press release promises "audiences an all new live show featuring an unyielding, brutally honest monologue reflecting on diverse culture, street cuisine and his travels to lesser-known locations around the world, followed by an open Q&A session." Bourdain last visited Nashville in November of 2012, making a stop on his "Guts and Glory" national speaking tour.

Tickets go on sale to the general public April 17.
