| 1 | * ChannelHop: To CNN, which Anthony hoped would get him access to places like Liberia. |
| 2 | * FollowTheLeader: ''Gordon Ramsay's Great Escape'', Independent Film Channel's ''Man Shops Globe'' (their guy even looks rather like Anthony). |
| 3 | * MilestoneCelebration: "100 episodes isn't enough, but we're celebrating it anyway." |

| 5 | ** The Lebanon episode took a dramatic turn when Israel started bombing Beirut mid-shoot. The crew was trapped in a hotel for weeks. They still did the show, using pre-conflict footage, as well as footage of the host and crew dealing with the stress of being in the war zone and Anthony cooking a meal at the hotel, and the escape from Lebanon. If the TV Info is right, they're going to give Lebanon another shot. |
| 6 | ** Also the Tuscany episode, when the guest director, with a background in artistic cinema had a vision for the episode clashing with Anthony's one on a basic level, they spend half the episode fighting, until they make peace at the end. [[spoiler: Although WordOfGod is that this was entirely staged.]] |
| 7 | ** In the latest Vietnam episode, his trip there is partly spurred by the death of Madame Ngoc, restaurant owner and ApronMatron he first met in ''A Cook's Tour''. One segment also showed him house shopping - he's said in interviews that he intends to move his family to Southeast Asia and live there for a few years. |
| 8 | * WriterRevolt: If Anthony Bourdain didn't like something, the audience would hear about it, loudly (generally as an aside or in voice over if he needs to not insult a host). One memorable rant occurred when the producer/cameraman asked him to say something eloquent about waterfalls while they were filming one in Indonesia: the response can be summed up as "It's a [[SoundEffectBleep *bleep*]]-ing beautiful waterfall, it doesn't need commentary!" |
