Street Food: Latinoamérica

I wanted to love this show, I was hoping to see some of the food I remembered from my childhood. Unfortunately for me the country i was looking for wasn't represented. I love food from all different cultures and thought i could learn a few things, unfortunately the food in this show is an afterthought, other than giving us the most basic description of the food we get nothing more than pretty pictures, they however have no problem spending most of the show talking about how the restaurant or food stall made life better for them in a multitude of ways. I also find myself very disappointed in the dishes they cover. In the Peru episode they spend the entire episode in Lima which is hardly representative of the cuisine of an entire culture. Overall I think I'm being generous with 5 stars, for a show about food the don't put much on the plate.

Mostly these are women's stories though there is one absolutely precious Japanese man, third generation. We go from Mexico to Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Columbia, etc., and primarily are inspired by people who came from and have nothing but individuality, determination, stubborn resolve, the ability to adapt and learn and extraordinary dedication and just how far those character traits will take you. Really a fabulous look into wonderful people.

Amazing dive into the lives of different street food chefs around Latin America.

The colours, the stories and the passion makes you want to start looking for a ticket to go try all that amazing food!

Pro tip: don/t watch while hungry! TRUST ME

This is a human drama about street food. It tells you powerfull, hearthwarmig and unique stories about special foods. Editing, filming everthing is on point and it's a great product overall. After Asia and Latin America i hope we can get more.

It's really great how the documentary shows the roots and traditions of those Latinoamerican countries, and how its food is the outcome of thousand of year of traditions, but also the result of braves hearts of common people that found in street cuisine a way to raise their children, and keep they hope and passion alive.

Of course, after you finish the serie, you will have the necessity on your heart to go to those places and eat that marvelous food.
