Sardinia

Nonfiction • TV-PG • Directed by: Anthony Bourdain - No Reservations • 44 minutes

I love this episode because we risked so much to do it. I had serious doubts about putting my wife, my child and my new Italian and Sardinian families on television. I was very worried that fans would hate it and be cruel about it -- and fearful as well that I might not do justice to the locations and to the generosity of the subjects. I needn't have worried. The camera work is awesome, the food looks just as delicious as it is, and my father-in-law's family fanned out across Sardinia arranging scenes for us -- all of which worked out brilliantly. There were a lot of surprises on this show -- all of them happy.
