Bourdain was awarded one of the Emmys, the US television industry's highest honour, for outstanding writing of a nonfiction program for an episode of the series set in southern Italy that aired last November during its 10th season. He also shared a second Emmy prize for best informational series or special in his role as host and executive producer of "Parts Unknown." Three more Emmys went to various other people for their behind-the-camera work on the series - in the categories for best picture editing, sound editing and best short-form nonfiction or reality series. Bourdain previously won Emmys four years in a row, from 2013 through 2016, as producer and host of "Parts Unknown" in the category of outstanding informational series or special. The series, which typically featured Bourdain sampling the local cuisine and culture of far-flung or lesser-travelled destinations around the world, earned him the prestigious Peabody Award in 2014.
