Street Food: Latinoamérica

I just thought this was going to be another food show. Wrong!

There is so much life and passion in this show! The storytelling is absolutely peak film making. The show repeatedly demonstrates it's directors ability to not only make your mouth water, but your heart beat faster at the amazing stories of the people behind the food.

I loved every second.

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.

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.

I like the personal stories behind the people. And how well the cultural influence is put.

Love love love this series. It has a similar rhythm to each program. Sometimes hardship to overcoming. Always tho, a journey with the central characters. That sounds dry. It is not. It is beautiful. In there with the people. And we are along for their ride to being great artists.

Please. More more more. Especially in these times. It is an absolutely exquisite series. It has inspired our home. We are completely drawn to this wonderful presentation. Yes please... more more more.
