capital though. i mean, why bocuse here, why troisgros here, why all of these great chefs? >> daniel: because lyon is -- it's really positioned between the north and the south. you are locked in between burgundy and rome. >> anthony: lyon, it's the second largest city in france, situated in the southeast of the country, midway between the alps in the east and the mediterranean to the south. >> daniel: this was also a bottleneck when cars began their mode of transportation. >> anthony: it goes right to the heart of the idea of the michelin. driving -- the destination on the way to the -- >> daniel: completely.

a buck a month. you know what i mean? >> anthony: ah, the good ol' days. >> daniel: yeah, well. >> anthony: why lyon? why here? look at the fundamentals, the things the lyonnais think of as birthrights. the right for instance to eat delicious cured pork in unimaginably delicious forms. >> daniel: the art of charcuterie, lyonnais can't live without it. >> anthony: look at this. terrine, pate, sausages, rillette, it's an art that's revered here and widely enjoyed. >> daniel: monsieur reynon. >> reynon: bonjour. >> daniel: merci. tony. >> anthony: bonjour, monsieur. tony. >> chef: tony. >> anthony: and few names garner more respect from aficionados of pig than reynon.

of the past. this was a dish la mere brazier was doing. >> anthony: the at-times brutal world of the michelin star kitchen looks much of the time like a boy's club, but where did they come from? if we track back a bit to where it all began for lyon and for many of the chefs whose names we now know and look up to, it all goes back to here. la mere brazier, the godmother, the original master. teacher, chef, force. two restaurants with three michelin stars. an achievement, no one, male or female, had ever attained, and for many years, lyon's most famous chef. her influence runs right through every kitchen that's come since, and her graduates carry on her recipes and her traditions. this was one of hers, a signature. >> daniel: for the next hour, you keep putting hot bouillon like this. the most miserable thing is when

think my chef in new york would do better. >> anthony: i love that they writer, editor, literary lion with a perfectly good job as fiction editor at the prestigious "new yorker" magazine. at undignified age of 53, he pretty much pulled up stakes, put his whole past life on hold, and defected to france to learn how to cook. what happened to you anyway, buford? you used to have a good job, you hang out a couple of nights with batali and the next thing you know you're living in france and cooking. >> bill: it's true. i discovered a whole world that the rest of the world didn't seem to know about. just a very compressed, intense lifelong learned expertise and

knowledge of food. it's not the food network, and it's not glossy magazines, and it's not something you'd get from reading a recipe book. it's something you get by just going deep. i was afraid of france because i knew if i went, took on the subject of french food, i'd have to go really deep. so we went, and we thought we'd stay for six months. and we -- we stayed for five years. >> anthony: we meet at bouchon comptoir abel. a bouchon is a uniquely lyonnais institution. a casual laid-back kind of pub/bistro with a limited, usually old-school menu and always, always an unpretentious vibe. people come here to unwind, to relax, and to eat with abandon. so you say outright, recently, in one of your published works that lyon is better than paris. >> bill:yon a dark, tragic, aneverybody here knows that they have a really good life, and they don't give a flying fig if anybody else knows about it. 'cause they don't actually want visitors. >> anthony: if you were to pick one iconic dish to represent the

bouchon lyonnais, it would have to be the quenelles de brochet. a not particularly fabulous river fish -- pike -- folded into a light dough, like pate a choux, until fluffy and airy but still rich. adrift in a rich, creamy, almost bisque-like nantua sauce made with crayfish, crème fraiche, white wine, and a splash of brandy. pretty amazing for really one of the world's less wonderful fish. >> bill: it's kind of a nice mix of france and italy. >> daniel: cheers. >> anthony: cheers, guys. >> bill: cheers, gentlemen. >> anthony: good to see you. >> bill: what a treat to meet together in lyon. delivery should look like this. crisp leaves of lettuce, freshly-made dressing. clean food that looks this good, eaten at your desk. panera. food as it should be. now delivered. ♪ most people come to la with big dreams. ♪

this legendary, this iconic, there's no escaping it. the rolling stones will always have to play "jumping jack flash." if you google "troisgros", you'll see this. >> michel: so, forget everything you have on google and watch me now. okay? >> anthony: before this, fish was generally overcooked. it was served alongside elaborate garnishes, starches, vegetables. this simple, elegant, almost japanese ode to flavor changed the way we cook fish in restaurants today, and how we make sauces, what our plates look like. i remember seeing a picture of this as a young man. i'm getting goose bumps seeing this. perfect.

♪ [ man singing in french ] >> anthony: daniel may be a three-star michelin chef, but like so many of his predecessors, he's basically a farm boy at heart. he grew up milking cows and doing farm work here, on his family's spread. there is, it turns out, something of a restaurant tradition to build on. the house on his farm was once a small café as well, operated first by his grandparents and great-grandparents. the famous café boulud, it turns out, was not the first place to bear that name. >> daniel: they kept it about

80 years, 100 years, and then they closed it. [ daniel's dad speaking french ] >> daniel's dad: no, no, no, no, no. >> anthony: meeting daniel's dad, one begins to understand the roots of his perfectionism. [ daniel's dad speaking french ] [ daniel's sister speaking french ] >> anthony: his mom, dad, wife catherine, and daniel collaborate. [ daniel's mom speaking french ] [ daniel speaking french ] >> anthony: with some debate. [ daniel speaking french ] [ daniel's mom speaking french ] >> anthony: on a super old-school farmhouse classic. the sort of thing that good times, bad times, a family could

make with stuff that's always readily available on the farm. check this out. it's a hollowed-out pumpkin, layered with toasted hunks of stale, country bread, which monsieur boulud senior bakes himself. nutmeg, grated gruyere cheese, mushrooms, fresh cream from the cows, and the meat of the pumpkin. >> daniel: and a layer of bacon also, homemade pancetta. very good. oh man, it's heavy. [ daniel's dad speaking french ] >> daniel: we made it. >> anthony: is he concerned that the pumpkin's going to try to get out? daniel's dad could be something of a gaulic macgyver. you don't waste stuff around here and he's a bit of an inventor anyway. >> daniel: how much would you pay for a machine like this? >> anthony: look at this. an old washing machine turned still. what the hell is that? >> daniel: so underneath, we have the -- but to seal it so there is no air coming in, he has cement on top. it's not distilled yet, it's just fermented. >> anthony: leftover grape solids from the winemaking process, usually used to make

liquor like grappa, today, a different use. if we can get it out of here. >> daniel: why did you put so much cement on it? [ daniel's dad speaking french ] >> daniel: he says funky. mm, super. >> anthony: we'll be using this delightfully funky stuff to flavor the steam that cooks the vegetables and the sabodet sausages from monsieur reynon inside the still. >> daniel: then we come back in, uh, an hour. >> anthony: at dusk, we settle for dinner. look at that. >> daniel: there is the pumpkin. >> anthony: incredible. look at that. wow. the pumpkin is amazing.

we also have that great sabodet sausage from monsieur reynon. oh, look at that. >> daniel's dad: oh la la. >> anthony: cabbage and potatoes all steamed in the still. the flavor you get from the fermented grape -- awesome. >> daniel: yeah, it's awesome, huh? >> anthony: it's good. so good. and if you know daniel at all, he can't really help himself. he's popping up and down, serving everybody, making sure everything's just right. and sitting here with his family in the house he grew up in, you can see where it all comes from. madam and monsieur, their son, he's now a gigantic, international success. when he was a young man at 14 sneezing in the field, did they ever anticipate this? [ daniel's dad speaking french ] >> anthony: no! no early indications of greatness? but i mean, there is a line, isn't there, from the farm, and haute cuisine. they all reflect the region, hopefully. >> daniel: yeah. >> anthony: but in the best case, they're interdependent. they -- they come from each other. in fact, who cooks in the great restaurants? well farm boys, basically. that's who always cook. my deepest thanks to your mother and your father. thank you. >> daniel: merci. next time, my father will make
