FOOD UNKNOWN - PHILIPPINES

SADRžAJ

Food Unknown takes a detailed look at well known and less popular destinations to gain an intimate level of understanding why their cuisine hasn't reigned supreme?

The nation of 7,000 islands has no problems with beach, sun, or sea; but they suffer tremendously with cuisine image. Jonathan lands in Manila to discover the top chefs are well aware of the issue and, following their advice, he launches off on an expedition to find part of the solution. Driving from headhunting tribal villages, to step-back-in-time colonial towns, to restaurants in the shadow of the American military behemoth an intriguing story slowly pieces together. In the dense jungle one treasure stays buried while another comes literally out of the woodwork. But danger always lurks.. zombie moray eels, landslide prone passes, and forbidden fields behind the rice paddies.
