Street Food: Latin America

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.

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

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.

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.
