Dammit. I never thought that a 3 second clip in a BBC documentary would make me cry.  Thank you for letting me have the chance to see my great friend Sr. Juventino once again and for immortalizing him on this very short clip in this video. Juventino was the owner of the bar Lua Nova for almost 30 years. Me and my friends were there every week for many years, but unfortunately he passed away during the pandemic. I had one last chance to see him and say goodbye in 2019, before I moved abroad. That was our last gathering. We miss him and lua nova so fucking much.

People from Minas are very easy going and Bourdain is sorely missed. I remember when I was a little child and went to Brazil with my parents to visit my grandmother. At night from her balcony she pointed to a cemetery in Belo Horizonte and told me “there is where your great-great grandparents are. My father, my mother and your grandfather are also there. To the right is your great-uncle tomb who lost his life at a very young age when he went to Europe to fight against the Nazis.”
Now she’s also resting in that same place.
I was a little child but her words, the lights of the city and the smell of the food stayed with me forever.

Most underrated cuisine and friendliest people in Brazil.

This man died in 2018, yet here we are putting 100k of viweing as if this show aired for the first time last week. Thanks Anthony.

"É capaz que você nunca tenha vindo aqui. Capaz que nunca tenha ouvido falar sobre esse lugar. Belo Horizonte é a capital. Os turistas não vêm muito aqui pra falar a verdade, tem poucos hóteis e poucas atrações turisticas [...] É relativamente desconhecida pelos estrangeiros. Mas se você viaja pelo Brasil e fala sobre comida, você ouve falar daqui. Os melhores chefes vêm daqui"

- In the end, we all want to live on a mountain, in a house with the sun.
- No, not in the end—in the beginning.

Kiwi here. I Had never heard of Belo before going to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup. But I I’ll never forget it now. Such lovely people and the food yes is amazing. I was invited after attending a game at the stadium to a persons home for a bbq and to watch the Brazil match at their home later that day. All the family and neighbours were there and the hospitality and experience was amazing. Brazil drew with Mexico unfortunately , but the bbq, beers and Cachaça flowed into the early hours of the next day . Brazil is a beautiful country on the whole and will forever hold my heart. 🇧🇷❤

35:10 - I can totally imagine myself saying "peru neck" to a foreigner kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

So glad Anthony had the opportunity to visit my beloved state Minas Gerais ❤

Anthony Bourdain in BH's central market, OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for introducing Belo Horizonte to the World Anthony. It´s a pitty that you are not with us anymore. RIP.

Ó Minas Gerais, quem te conhece não te esquece jamais!

You are missed, Anthony :(

Best food in Brazil. My city.

Chorei o episódio inteiro. Que orgulho da nossa cozinha, que saudade da minha vozinha! Uai, a gente come bem pra celebrar a vida!!!

It's funny how it transitions from Bourdain saying "give it a french name" to the chefs - as a strategy to charge more - to him talking to the women who own a restaurant called D'Artagnan

RIP Anthony Bourdain, feliz que você teve a chance de visitar o Mercado Central de BH antes de partir desse plano. Sim, nossa comida mineira é a melhor do Brasil, brigando pau a pau com a baina!

16:30 um gringo falando UAI pra um mineiro. Kskkkkkkkkkkkk

I have never felt emotional about a celebrity as I feel about Antony Bourdain. I always loved his show, even more so after he visited my homeland, Minas Gerais. Rest in Peace Antony, you are sorely missed...

You are missed, Anthony. What a beautiful episode

crazy how important people simply shows up on this film.
