"In this celebration of Louisiana's Cajun culture, complete with Zydeco music and a crawfish boil, Bourdain goes off the beaten path and takes part in Mardi Gras traditions of the region's history stemming from the French Middle Ages..." the show description reads.
The hour-long episode will feature Bourdain's visit to Mamou during the 2018 Mardi Gras season. Mamou is famous for its unorthodox Mardi Gras traditions, which include activities like chasing chickens and horseback riding.
Bourdain was found dead earlier this month from an apparent suicide. His televised travels brought him all over the world and led to meetings with numerous celebrities and political figures, including President Barack Obama.
