Watch Bourdain, Ripert and Friends visit The French Laundry

Here’s an old school look back at the time Anthony Bourdain decided to take three of his food long friends on a mission to diner at Thomas Keller’s legendary restaurant, the French Laundry.

The video is from the Bourdain’s old series, A Cook’s Tour, which sees the presenter visit game changing chefs and restaurants around the world.

In the episode below, Bourdain takes Eric Ripert, writer Michael Ruhlman and fellow chef Scott Bryan on a mission to The French Laundry where the four food lovers are treated to a perfectly executed tasting menu.

It’s great to see how much fun and just how excited the guys get when facing new dishes and the prospect of dining at one of America’s best restaurants. They are genuinely excited for the experience.
