I've watched lots of TV about Italian food and this is the best episode of ANY show about the true spirit of Italian eating. The segment about anchovies was enlightening and inspiring. It makes me sorry we don't have a fresh alternative on the US west coast. The scenery around the Amalfi coast was astounding.
The wedding crashing was funny and proof that all Italian are not chic and fashion-forward. One of the best extras is getting a few minutes with Bourdain's charming Italian wife. What a lucky guy! I also like the way he ties the Italian food of America to the food of Campania and back again. It made me nostalgic for Sunday ragu with my family. Viva Napoli!
