Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown (2013)

S10E03 Lagos, Nigeria

Once labeled the most perilous city globally, Lagos now stands as a vibrant hub of contemporary Africa. The city's driving force is its unwaveringly optimistic attitude, characterized by a deeply rooted "can do" mentality. Bourdain delves into the remarkable creativity of the Nigerian people, showcasing their diverse culinary landscape, which features fresh seafood, zesty soups, hearty beef dishes, and the ever-popular pounded yam. He also connects with Femi, Seun, and Yeni Kuti, the offspring of the legendary Fela Kuti, who remain influential figures in Lagos' dynamic cultural, political, and artistic milieu.
