After spending a month with amazing food experiences (and some not so amazing) in various parts of Thailand, I wasn't too excited to be boarding the Air China plane that was taking me back to a freezing and rainy Stockholm. The airline is not exactly known for their cuisine, and this flight was no exception. After finding a very questionable looking hair in my food, I gave up and stuffed my mouth full of fruit flavored Mentos to try and keep the nausea from taking over completely. I started flipping through the on-flight entertainment system and stumbled upon "Anthony Bourdain - Parts Unknown" in the the travel section. Intrigued, I watched as Anthony Bourdain, a chef gone author gone TV host, discovered LAs Korea Town through history, people and most importantly, food. I had no idea LA was so diverse and it really amazed me how much the different cultures residing in Korea Town influenced the food scene. The Mexican, Korean and Italian fusion had my stomach growling all the way to Stockholm. Inspired, we rushed to the nearest store when we got home and made Italian Meatball Burritos with spicy tomato sauce, guacamole and salsa. It was just as good as it looked on the show. Sold on the concept of travel, history and food all in one, we immediately found a way to get hold of the remaining episodes and have been following Anthony through South Africa, Canada, Denmark, Sicily, Spain and Jerusalem ever since. Excited to see the next few episodes and keeping my fingers crossed for a third season!
