I think the music scene and the food scene started to grow up around the same time there. I saw Mexican-Americans who were going back and forth to visit their families, but no gringos. I didn't see a single American in Tijuana, Ensenada, or Baja the entire time I was there. The tourists stopped going, because the narcos were killing people left and right. It's a hipster-driven thing - Mexican middle class hipsters. I'd also never been to that area, and it's basically a different country. I wrote the stories and then they adapted them to Spanish. We commissioned a corrida band to tell the story. I was thinking about Breaking Bad and narcocorridos. I had heard of the families who moved to San Diego to wait out the drug wars. I have a lot of agendas, but immigration and illegal restaurant workers and our hypocritical relationship with that country is of interest to me. I'm fascinated by the sort of tortured relationship between Mexico and the States and I'm always looking to stick my thumb at someone in the eye on that.

I'm interested in the Baja episode, since that area seems like such undiscovered wealth after shooting, you said it was like Tuscany. But I know that someday I will have had enough and I will pull the plug. I'm really excited about it and there are a whole hell of a lot of shows I want to do that I haven't been able to do yet. Well, I don't play golf and I don't feel that way about the show yet. He's sitting there in his little folding chair and suddenly looks out and says, "Fuck it. It opens with him sitting on the set of like his 19th western, and by that point he owed all the different agents he had hired around 150 percent of what he had made. There's a great moment in Nick Tosches' biography of Dean Martin. I have a five-year-old who I would like to see more of. You say you're hoping to transition someone else into the show, but don't you think people tune in largely because they want to see you? But they were right that it ended up a big success.

I had a lot of doubt in my mind about that project and they were resolute. As was the case at the beginning of No Reservations, none of us knew what we were doing when we started, and we sort of figured it out. Yeah, I think the lion's share of the credit goes to Zero Point Zero and all the people I work with there.
#THE LAYOVER ANTHONY BOURDAIN STREAMING SERIES#
Whether it's two series or one, the point is that I'm good for sixteen a year and that's it.Īre you happy with how the show turned out? Hot on the heels of No Reservations, it's hard. I write for Tremé because it's really fun and makes me feel good. I think I'm already at the point where I am doing things because they are fun rather than because they are paying a competitive amount of money. It is a pure creative enterprise, whereas Layover has its utilitarian aspects. I don't have to care if something is useful or any of that.

You know, you have bad days and shit goes wrong, but I do truly whatever the fuck I want. No Reservations is a pleasure most of the time. And that's after shooting No Reservations. It was hard with that much food and liquor in a two-day shooting period, back-to-back-to-back. I like doing what I do and I like doing sixteen episodes of No Reservations a year, but The Layover was hard on me. I don't know who, but that's a job that's up for grabs after this season. I'm looking at maybe transitioning someone else into it. I'm going to do one more season of The Layover. How much can you handle, and is there an expiration date on any of this stuff? You travel more than two-hundred days a year, and I imagine the network and other people push for you to commit to more and more things. What does: his family, writing, puttering around the house, and for the foreseeable future, the show that airs tonight. As a conversation propelled by Parisien sandwiches and beer at Cafe d'Alsace revealed, spending two thirds of the year traveling doesn't do that. He's tired and he's reached that blissful point where all that matters is doing what makes him happy. Bourdain, whose television show No Reservations enters its eighth season this evening, is about to turn fifty-six, has a five-year-old daughter, and, on the particularly sunny afternoon we meet, keeps his optical frames hanging from his shirt while sporting a killer set of shades. It's a bit weird seeing Anthony Bourdain sitting on a brunch-swarmed sidewalk café on the Upper East Side.
