Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (2013)

Episode Overview

In "The Heel of the Boot," Bourdain embarks on a journey into the rich, unspoiled landscapes and vibrant communities of Southern Italy, where both Christian and Pagan influences thrive. This unique region features locals who engage in the lively Taranta dance and converse in the ancient language known as “Grieco.” Bourdain enjoys a culinary experience with renowned Italian-American filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola at his hotel, Palazzo Margherita, indulging in traditional dishes from the Basilicata area, including ‘Pecora Pastorale,’ a seasonal mutton dish infused with fresh herbs.
