It’s a measure of how deficient Hollywood has been in making an accurate restaurant-food based film that far and away the best was about an animated rat. They got the food, the reactions to food, and tiny details to food really right — down to the barely noticeable pink burns on one of the character’s forearms. I really thought it captured a passionate love of food in a way that very few other films have.

Anthony Bourdain names his favorite food-centric films for EW.

I would’ve never dared dreamed of approaching David Simon, but he called me out of the blue. For me, it was like a little boy who’s a Yankees fan and Joe DiMaggio calling out of the blue and saying, “Hey, how’d you like to throw around the ball in the backyard?” So after I steadied myself and fought off a case of the vapors and calmed my squeaky voice, we had lunch, and he asked if I’d be interested. I remember calling my agent and saying “Treme is going to be calling. Whatever they ask, say yes.

Anthony Bourdain dishes on writing for Treme’s second season.
