Ep 1Paris: Why the French Don't Suck
Tony's debut episode of this new series has him visiting Paris. He explores the city's famous catacombs, tries some absinthe, checks out one of the city's major meat markets, and spends the night in the room where Oscar Wilde died.
Ep 2Iceland: Hello Darkness My Old Friend
This week Anthony travels to Iceland, where in winter the volcanic islands see only about four hours of sunlight a day. Anthony finds the darkness comforting and learns how the Icelanders contend with the dark days - eating, drinking, and pumping iron!
Ep 3New Jersey: Off the Jersey Turnpike
Tony visits the state of New Jersey. He takes us on a trip through his birthplace trying to dispel some common misconceptions of the garden state. We learn about the Sopranos and other NJ landmarks as Tony reminisces.
Ep 4Vietnam: The Island of Mr. Sang
Tony travels to the far away country of Vietnam, where he meets up with an old friend (who also happens to work for the People's Committee) with whom he traverses the ancient culture. He ends up going on a trip that takes him through isolated villages and finishes on an island resort, owned by the mysterious Mr. Sang.
Ep 5Malaysia: Into the Jungle
Today Tony travels to south east Asia. He has always been fascinated by the notion of "natural fusion," the way cuisines and cultures blend over the centuries. He's particularly fascinated by Malaysia, where Chinese influence has mixed with Malay, Indian, Nyonya and indigenous Borneo culture.
Ep 6Sicily
While in the small country of Sicily, Tony is treated to tripe at the II Capo Market. He tries a spleen sandwich with the President (of Sicily). And, Tony attempts to determine where you can find the greatest cannoli.
