“For pure, unadulterated food porn, this is one of our more high-test offerings. Jamon, wild mushrooms, perfectly grilled turbot, the last squid of the season—everyday eating feels like one long bounce from one great little place to another.” – Bourdain on San Sebastian It’s hard to argue the wonders of Spain and their foodways. Anthony Bourdain has been hitting San Sebastian since the first season of his first show, A Cook’s Tour, because goddamn does the food look amazing there. This week’s Parts Unknown sees Bourdain hitting some of his favorite old haunts with his favorite old Basque food allies. San Sebastian has long been one of the great food centers of Europe. Their perfection of apple ciders, pintxos (small plates akin to tapas), all things seafood, and dino-sized steaks are just the tip of the culinary iceberg that is Basque cuisine. So let’s live vicariously for a moment with Bourdain, then plan for our own long, hot summer days eating our way through Basque country. View this post on Instagram Doesn't this look like fun? Sidra, a Spanish cider, bears few similarities to its American and English counterparts. 📸@markelredondo Link in the bio 🍎 #PartsUnknown #AnthonyBourdain #Sidras #Cider #BasqueCountry #SanSebastian A post shared by Explore Parts Unknown (@partsunknowncnn) on May 5, 2017 at 10:01am PDT
