Where Was 'Tony' Filmed? The Cape Cod Spots That Inspired the Legend

On Location peels back the curtain on some of your favorite films, television shows, and more. This time, we ask: where was Tony filmed? The name Anthony Bourdain means a great deal to a large sect of food and drink lovers. But the man was not always a legend—as the tagline of a new A24 film about part of the chef and writer's life states: Before he was Anthony Bourdain, he was just Tony. The new biopic takes viewers back to the chef’s formative years, originally depicted in Bourdain’s memoir Kitchen Confidential. The film follows a young Tony, a “spoiled, miserable, narcissistic, self-destructive, and thoughtless young lout”—Bourdain's words from the book, shown on screen at the beginning of the film—working as a dishwasher in Cape Cod kitchens. He’s depressed and in the throes of unrequited love, but the people he meets over the course of this summer set him on the path to becoming a famous man. Antonio Banderas and Dominic Sessa in the kitchens on set of Tony Eager to stay true to Anthony’s experiences on the peninsula, director Matt Johnson chose to set up production offices just north of Cape Cod, and subsequently, most of the action was shot on location. “
