kind of place i like. but, this is a buddy picture, isn't it? eric ripert is the chef of the three-star la bernardin in new york, a chevalier of france. i think that means he's some kind of knight or something, and my friend. this causes him some problems. he, i like to remind him, has a reputation to protect. i do not. welcome to marseille. >> eric: yeah. >> anthony: you've never been here. >> eric: never. >> anthony: how is this even possible? you grew up how far from here? >> eric: like, uh, 50 miles. a hundred miles. >> anthony: a hun -- you grew up a hundred miles from here? what prevented you from coming to this clearly beautiful city? because it's clearly beautiful. >> eric: it's a fantastic city. i mean, it's beautiful. i agree with you, but it has a reputation of being a dangerous city. >> anthony: you live in new york. [ laughter ] ♪ >> anthony: i should point out that every single frenchman who i've said, you know, "i'm shooting in france."
