I never watch the show because I am not interested in cooking or food, but today it came on TV after another show I was watching, and I was pulled into it by the absolutely expertly way it was filmed and the amazing views of Madagascar and its people. Wow, wow, wow -- it transported me beyond the absolute comfort and relative wealth of my living room's big TV screen to a place I could have never imagined was real. Sure I've seen places like this on video, but Anthony Bourdain made me "experience" it! Magnificently done -- the photographers, producers and hosts did an amazing job of capturing of an entirely different world than mine! I am truly transported!

This episode was absolutely beautiful to me. It shows Madagascar's beautiful people, landscape, and relationship of the Madagascar people with their land. The addition of Darrin's perspective and anecdote of the situations he travels through was such a great add. As we look through Tony's eyes we see the beauty of Madagascar. Not to say he does not shed like on the problems the Madagascar people are facing. We then see Darrens perspective, showing us more of the hardships in Madagascar, accompanied by the resilience of its people and their belief in a better future. I loved this episode through and through.

Best episode in entire series. Addition of Darren Aronofsky is what makes this episode so great. You know the show was going to be very interesting once unveiled Aronofsky was a recently turned vegetarian and we already know Bourdain loves meat, the ying and yang of the two combined with the poverty and lack of meat in Madagascar was well blended together for a great 40 minutes of pure artistry. The last 5 minutes was incredible to me. Thank you for this episode if any of the creators ever read this, and highly recommended if anyone reading this has not seen this episode yet!
