Alas the beloved chef and world travel show host has departed from this world. Much honor and glory to you Anthony for inviting us to such fascinating adventures in your own original way. WE will miss you.
Now it's a big bathroom wall where people write a lot of things about you—some good, some bad, some dumb.
On when things go wrong on location:
"We have never thrown a whole show out. We have the luxury of when things go horribly wrong, we can still show it up. We do not have to put on happy faces and pretend that this is not a dreadful and awful experience when it is. For instance, we had a couple of shows this past series, like in Sicily, and an episode of No Reservations: Romania where we did everything wrong, and everything got screwed up. It was clearly a disaster but they ended up as sort of comedy classics. Those are not the shows I go out looking to do, but we have the freedom to look into the camera and say, "This is the worst thing I have ever eaten" or "This scene has gone horribly wrong" or "I am so depressed right now I just want to hang myself in the shower." That's a luxury that most people on television don't have."
