Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (2013)

Episode Overview

A journey to the Caribbean reveals how Trinidad has transformed its legacy of colonialism and slavery into a vibrant celebration of diverse cultures through food, music, and joy. Bourdain explores Port of Spain, a lively city enriched by African, Indian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern heritage, sampling dishes like curried duck, doubles (soft Indian bread with curried chickpeas and mango), and fish in tahini sauce alongside locals from varied backgrounds. While immersing himself in the Carnival spirit of liming (socializing) and whining (dancing), Bourdain contemplates whether this ongoing revelry serves as an escape from the island's mounting social challenges.
