We figure, he won't be laying his salt-and-pepper head just anywhere, after all, he's big time now. So, for entertainment and a dose of travel value, well give you some details on the properties he picks, just in case you find yourself looking for a place to stay in a city thats sanctioned by this travel personality/chef.
