MITCHELL'S BAR-B-Q, WILSON NORTH CAROLINA S2E12 Every barbecue lover knows the rules of the famous American BBQ Triangle-the sacred trinity of Kansas City, Houston, and North Carolina. Each boasts its own dogmatic approach to wood, smoke, rubs, and sauce. But in this one of a kind 50+ minute 'A Cook's Tour' marathon, Anthony Bourdain takes that legendary American triangle and extends it across the globe, proving that the obsession with cooking whole animals over live coals is a universal human language. From low-and-slow pits in Texas to ancient mud-ovens in the Sahara, this compilation explores how different cultures harness smoke and fire. • THE USA ("The BBQ Triangle"): Tony hits the absolute capitals of American barbecue. Watch him dissect the perfect bark, smoke rings, and regional rivalries across Kansas City ribs, Houston brisket, and North Carolina chopped pork. • MOROCCO ("Desert Feast"): Moving the fire to the dunes, Tony treks into the Sahara Desert to witness barbecue in its most ancient, communal form: a whole sheep slow-roasted to melting tenderness inside a traditional earth-and-mud pit oven (Mechoui). • BRAZIL ("How to Be a Carioca" & "A Mystical World"): Tony dives into the heavy, fire-cooked meat culture of South America. Explore the rustic neighborhood joints and open-flame techniques where wood smoke and coarse salt elevate cuts of meat to an art form. • PORTUGAL ("Stuffed Like a Pig"): Tony goes rural, joining a traditional village feast on a family farm. Experience the old-school European approach to live-fire cooking: real flame, real smoke, and intense, whole-animal roasting that honors centuries of tradition. This is a masterclass in culinary smokeology-served with Bourdain’s trademark grit, dark humor, and deep respect for the pitmasters of the world.
