Travel Channel's No Reservations and 5d2 at DVinfo.net

Hey just saw this on a buddy's twitter page
Camera \ Video Nerd alert - Anthony Bourdain's No reservation... on Twitpic

Seems like Travel Channel's Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations uses a 5d2 and a 24-70 as a B cam. My friend was at a local Austin Tx restaurant and saw the disclaimer sign in front of the door. The camera man was moving around the kitchen and restaurant getting footage.

Anyone recognize the rig?

Will be shooting a different project with Anthony next week, with 1DMKIV as "beauty" camera. More info after the shoot.

Anthony is using the simple and cheap Opteka X-GRIP. See here:

I saw a bit of a No Reservations show in Japan. One shot was of train windows rushing by - with extreme rolling shutter. It was used as an artistic effect. :)

I've seen some recent episodes with b shots of food and cooking shots with what is obviously either a 35mm adapter or DSLR... any info on whether the DSLR has already been used on broadcasted episodes?
