Netflix gathered together Conan O’Brien’s travel clips from his’s feature, Conan Without Borders. Now you can watch each of the countries together in episodes. Some of the funniest destinations include South Korea and Italy.
This may be a fictional series, but the food is very real and very delicious especially for fans of Japanese cuisine. The best part of the episodes is how you can actually learn how to make some of the dishes – it may not be the recipe itself but the show highlights the techniques.
