There's no definitive answer to this question, as Bourdain never explicitly named a least favorite country in any of his interviews or writing. However, based on his various comments about different destinations, it's safe to say that Bourdain wasn't particularly fond of the Philippines. In an interview with Playboy magazine, he said that the country was exotic and cheap... but not necessarily in a good way. He also wrote negatively about the Philippines in his book Kitchen Confidential, describing it as a place where everything is dirty and there's a pervasive sense of sadness.
