"Bourdain travels to Brazil just ahead of the World Cup, before an inundation of tourists overwhelms the country. In Bahia he finds an epicenter of the Brazilian culture one doesn’t get in Rio and other, more touristy parts of the country—a culture built on a legacy of slavery and suffering, a legacy that also brought the cultures of faraway Africa to bear on local cuisine and arts. Throwing back one too many a caipirinha, Bourdain marvels at a city where people appear to have a taste for all that’s enjoyable in life."
