Chef René Redzepi and Matt Goulding, executive producers of the Apple TV+ series, talk about what it owes to Anthony Bourdain, filming on five continents, and Antón the pig
series executive produced by René Redzepi, chef of the world-renowned Noma restaurant in Copenhagen, and writer Matt Goulding, who published three books under Bourdain’s imprint.

Because if it’s not, you just end up with the same people who are already watching you, listening to or reading you in the first place.
