Anthony stayed at the restaurant until 2004, and it closed in 2017 after becoming bankrupt.

He published his first cookery book – “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly” – in 2000, and it was a bestseller. His second cookery book, “Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook” was published in 2010.
