Ann Arbor's Violin Monster appears (briefly) on Anthony Bourdain's TV series 'No Reservations'

By Jenn McKee

Ann Arbor's Zachary Storey—better known locally as the Violin Monster, a street musician who plays his instrument while wearing a mask (and sometimes howling)—appeared briefly on a last night's episode of Travel Channel star Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations," which features the star chef traveling to different world locales to explore the intersection of culture and food.

The show in which the Violin Monster appeared focused on Austin, Texas during the South by Southwest Festival. (The Monster traveled to Austin for the festival.)

Here's a highlight clip of the episode that includes the Violin Monster:

The Austin show is the first episode in the final season of the popular Travel Channel show. The full episode airs again Monday at 8 p.m. on the Travel Channel. For more on the Austin episode, see the show's website.
