On Season 11, Episode 2, which aired on February 12, Anthony shared why he was excited to prepare those charter guests a Latin-themed meal, considering his past restaurant.
"I always love the Latin vibe," he shared in a confessional interview in the episode. "At 21, I opened my first restaurant called The Panama, like the town. It was French fusion with South American and Miami vibes."
He added about his former business: "I tried to bring [the] Miami vibe in my own town Nancy, France, so ... it's going to be 'mucho caliente' tonight!"
