Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the name of the actor who plays Jack Bourdain?

Answer: Bradley Cooper

Jack Bourdain was a highly respected chef, until he burnt down the restaurant he used to work in. Now he has been given a second chance at Nolita.

2. At what restaurant is the series set?

Answer: Nolita

Nolita is owned by Pino (played by Frank Langella), who needed a new chef after he strangled his old one.

3. In episode one, what is the name of the fish that Jack brings out to show the waiters?

Answer: Greg

The episode revolves around Nolita's first few days as a new restaurant in New York. Some of the mishaps that occur include Steven (played by Owain Yeoman) getting the tip of his finger cut off by Teddy (played by John Cho) and a food critic (played by Betty Schram) ends up almost eating it.

4. In episode two, Steven is accused of stealing many things. Which item did he NOT steal?

Answer: Cappuccino machine

In fact, no one stole the cappuccino machine. It was taken down to the dishwashers by Jim (played by John Francis Daley) without him telling anyone, leading Pino to believe that it had been stolen.

5. In episode three, what is the name of Jack's mentor who asks to be killed with food?

Answer: Chef Gerard

After a while, it becomes apparent that Jack can't kill his mentor with food and decides to not try and kill him. Chef Gerard (played by John Larroquette) later dies from a heart attack induced by eating a hot dog from the vendor outside of Nolita.

6. In episode four, Jack goes to war with another restaurant. Why?

Answer: They stole his dish and started selling it themselves

The episode itself revolves around a war between Jack's and Michel's restaurants (Michel is played by Michael Vartan) which started because Michel made a lamb dish in a similar fashion to Jack. After the war started, Michel began dating the head waitress, Mimi (played by Bonnie Somerville), and in retaliation, Jack stole Michel's breadmaker.

7. After how many episodes aired was the series cancelled?

Answer: 4

Four episodes aired in the official run, the four I previously mentioned. Since then, all have aired but it was after episode four aired that they officially pulled the plug on the series.

8. How many episodes were made?

Answer: 13

All the episodes were made before the show was aired.

9. Who is listed as the creator of this show?

Answer: David Hemingson

He has also worked on "Family Guy", "American Dad" and "How I Met Your Mother".

10. Who wrote the book that this series is based on?

Answer: Anthony Bourdain

Oddly, Anthony Bourdain did not appear in a single episode of this series.
