Hello Chef,

I'm a big fan of your writing and the t.v. show and I'm wondering if and when the "yet-to-air" episodes of A Cook's Tour will be debuted on FTV.  A few of your adventures that seem to be missing from the t.v. incarnation are Spain, Portugal and Scotland.

Keep up the great work--can't wait for the next book.  As you describe it, it should be a blast to read.

Thanks again,
=R=

Tony,

We're dying to see them, will they ever make it out?

I'm assuming/hoping yes. There are indeed a few episodes left to run: the Portugal pig-killin' show, another Portugese show shot in Porto and the Duro Valley which ends in France with tete de veau and foie..a Really good (I think) Spanish show with Arzak, all-male gastro society and tapas crawl...and the Scottish show....I'm told they're rescheduling to prime time in July sometime--so maybe they're saving them up. Just don't know--and neither does NYT who produced them.  I am, God help me, thinking seriously about doing  a few more new shows to be shot end of year: Bahia in Brazil....Thailand..Australia...but we'll see.
