Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations

Chile is a country in South America that I know little about. It was full of surprises.



Our intrepid host started the show talking about Pinochet. I was shocked that Chileans do not hate us for that. Instead, they look with hope into a bright future.



Tony travels widely in this long, narrow country. He ends up in Patagonia, the end of the world, an unspoiled place he hopes is not ruined by progress.



The dishes featured in this show: Lobito, a sandwich made of pork, tomato, avocado and mayo. Teremodo, white wine with pineapple ice cream. Pernil, a pork leg simmered in brine
