25 Responses to No Reservations – Puerto Rico 3/5

  1. You guys keep talking about “some rich guy’s” house. The cooking that the rich and the poor of PR do is exactly the same, and all the ingredients come from the same plaza mercado or some roadside vendor. That’s what always facinated me about puerto rico, there’s no cultural difference between rich and poor.

  2. Great Heineken “PP”
    product placement.

    The equestrian part is brilliant.

  3. Sure, Anthony went to a “rich persons house,” but the dishes that were served there were of the most unique combination and probably from high quality ingredients. It looked like the kind food I want to learn how to cook. Can anyone help me? I’ve been dying to make something yummy from the salted cod I saw at La Placita in Rio Piedras. and Baby Goat in red wine and rum – I’m beyond words. P.S. this show is not known for covering politics – it’s about food.

  4. ummm WRONG!! that is not Vieques. The island shown there is Palomino, a way smaller island just 3 miles (more or less) off the Fajardo shore. A part of Vieques was indeed used by the Navy but not Palomino. In fact Palomino is one of a few private islands in Puerto Rico, and part of is is rented to El Conquistador (one of the best hotels in Puerto Rico if not the best)

  5. This is shit….they took Anthony to some rich folks house. They should have taken him to “your round the corner” cafeteria for him to eat, tripletas, biftec encebollao and similar stuff.

    Shame on the Puerto Rico toursim company…shame on them

  6. You forget to talk about how all those people that “fighted” against the US Navy to get it out of Vieques havent done shit to get new jobs to the residents of the island. It’s easy to talk about how bad de Navy was but Vieques isn’t better now…

  7. Of course they knew, but did they care is the question and the answer is no… Luis Munoz Marin, the first democratic governor of Puerto Rico, wrote to the United States about the dangers and the effects it will have for the people of Vieques. They still went with it anyway. Nothing new, they were just going on with tradition, which countinues to this day with Iraq. And tomorrow another unsuspecting victim.

  8. Puerto Rico is quite wonderful. The food is incredible, the people warm and lovely, the horses are unlike anything I rode before. It’s a stark contrast to the Puerto Rico represented in New York. and Miami. Grats to Tony for always showing us the good stuff.

  9. The thing I like the most of this video is that it shows the real colors of our flag. Red, White and BABY BLUE. But the complete episode does not show the most beautiful parts of Puerto Rico, I hope that Andrew Zimmern do a better. job.
