The episode is filled with silly banter showing the obvious bromance between Bourdain and Ripert. Next, Bourdain meets with chef BJ Dennis and learns about Gullah cuisine, West African—based foodways that have heavily influenced down-home southern cooking and American cooking in general.
Ten years earlier, Bourdain promised the Iban tribe that he would return to Borneo for the annual Gawai Dayak festival; in this episode, he keeps his word. As he navigates up the Skrang River on a wooden boat, Bourdain notes the many changes that have occurred since his previous visit.
But much remains the same, too — the slow rhythm of life, the respect for nature, and a love of guests. Here, every bit of the pig is honored, and the tribal villagers in Sarawak join in to feast and drink copious amounts of alcohol until they all pass out.
He also eats grilled squid in Ha Long Bay on a French-era-style steamer boat and is treated to a meal by a fishing family that has lived over the water for centuries. Bourdain next heads to a local market as black limos adorned with Vietnamese flags glide by.
Crowds of rain-soaked locals shriek and clap as the door opens and Barack Obama emerges smiling and waving. They head inside and slide their lanky bodies onto the blue plastic stools at Bun Cha Huong Lien.
There will be moments in any given part of the world where things are terrible. But having said all that, I think things are going to work out. Later, the two men sit at the Fujinoya teahouse in Kanazawa to enjoy a traditional kaiseki meal of multiple carefully plated courses featuring seasonal ingredients like sea bream over rice and bamboo shoots, all served by a geisha.
Each season premiere features a thought-provoking destination, and season 11 is no exception. In West Virginia, Bourdain seeks to look past the regional stereotypes to understand the complex local character.
Later, over biscuits and gravy with Oscar-nominated documentary filmmaker Elaine McMillion Sheldon at the Coffee Shop in the nearby city of War, Bourdain learns that West Virginians mostly want to be left alone after decades of exploitation by coal, timber, and pharmaceutical companies. Bourdain admits that he arrived with his own biases about the state but leaves urging viewers to explore beyond the stereotypes to meet these kind and loving people.
Cinematographer Christopher Doyle also joins the team for this episode. Together they explore the disappearing Hong Kong of local artisans, handmade noodles, and fishing villages.
Bourdain savors drunken chicken, clay-pot fish-tripe custard, and more at one of the remaining 28 dai pai dong, or open-air stalls. A jarring scene of refugees from Somalia and India sobers the mood, especially during a heart-wrenching monologue by one when Doyle and Argento stop him mid-sentence to fiddle with lighting and framing.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time. CNN released the 12 th and final instalment of the programme in the autumn of , concluding with a series finale titled 'Lower East Side' that saw Bourdain return to his hometown of New York. Now the entire travelogue will be available for fans to revisit, with all 12 seasons landing on Netflix 1 June. As well as providing a firm guide to some of the world's most exciting places, many episodes also offer an intriguing snapshot into the late chef's personal life.
