Episode Overview
Bourdain explores the rich and often misrepresented culture of West Virginia, journeying through a 5,000-foot coal mine, taking in the thrilling spectacle of rock bouncers, and savoring traditional Appalachian fare. His initial assumptions are challenged as he discovers a fascinating blend of steadfastness and openness among the locals. Over a variety of regional dishes—including snapping turtle patties, squirrel gravy, pawpaw ice cream, spaghetti pie, and bear meat—residents share their passionate opinions on the Second Amendment, Donald Trump, life after coal, and the revival of West Virginia's culinary heritage.
