- 2008–201222mTV EpisodeAnna and Kristina are figuratively heading to both New York and France to test "Anthony Bourdain's Les Halles Cookbook". The cookbook, written by the titled chef, includes recipes from the famed New York French bistro Les Halles, considered one of the best outside of France, where Bourdain once served as its executive chef. They are making five dishes in three hours: celery rémoulade, steak tartare, Les Halles fries, duck à l'orange, and crème brûlée. Their guest taster is Thierry Rautureau, the executive chef at two Seattle based French bistros, and who is probably most well known for his appearance on Top Chef Masters (2009). With the recipes and Chef Thierry being their guest, Anna and Kristina are feeling in a very French mood despite not actually being in France. That mood is tempered by Bourdain's straightforward writing style and anecdotes within the cookbook. In addition, they discuss different types of potatoes and what they should be used for, and they get a lesson on the importance of mise en place.
