An earlier report on Spot.ph also showed photographer David Hanson and his wife with Anthony at Cafe Chosun in Malate, Manila.
In September, it was reported that Anthony would be coming to the Philippines for an episode of his show, Parts Unknown.
Anthony has previously visited Manila, Pampanga, and Cebu; his visit was featured in the 5th season of his show No Reservations.
That time, he had a meal with chef Claude Tayag, toured Manila with Ivan Man Dy, and visited the home of a fan in Cebu for a Filipino family meal featuring the Philippines' famous lechon. While in Pampanga, he also tried – and fell in love with – sisig, a sizzling dish usually made of chopped parts of a pig's face, including the ear, plus onions, and liver.
In Parts Unknown, Anthony travels around the world, exploring new destinations and different cultures. In September, the show won its 3rd consecutive Emmy award in the "Outstanding Informational Series or Special" category. – Rappler.com
