When we were filming No Taste Like Home for Nat Geo, we were in Emilia-Romagna in Italy. There’s a beautiful little hotel in the hills called Locanda del Falco, near Piacenza, where I went with [actor] Justin Theroux. We had this local specialty faraona alla creta, a beautiful guinea fowl, cooked in clay, stuffed with figs and lardo (lard). There was a group of five of us, and we ended up having two of those. It was one of the most outstanding meals ever.
