Anthony Bourdain Reveals The Best Places To Eat And Drink In Rio De Janeiro

Travel and food connoisseur Anthony Bourdain traveled to Brazil's Rio de Janeiro a few years ago to sample the local cuisine on his Travel Channel show No Reservations.

During his four-day stay, he drank on the beach, took a tour of a run-down Favela, and soaked up the nightlife in Copacabana.

He ate Brazilian favorites, like fried sardines, grilled pork sandwiches, and feijoada, a hearty stew of black beans and pork sausage - and raved about them all.

Any chance he got, he shared his love for the city. "What sick freak wouldn't come to Rio given the opportunity?" asked Bourdain. "Lets call it what it is: perfection. You have to have some serious problems to not like Rio."

And since all eyes are on Brazil's capital for the much-anticipated World Cup, we decided to take a second-look at Bourdain's South American culinary journey.
