Chef Tony Bourdain travels to San Sebastian, Spain, to meet local chefs and explore the most food crazy society of the Iberian Peninsula, that of the Basques. Tony's guides to the local specialties are food guru, Chef Luis Irizar, and his daughter Virginia. Chef Irizar takes Tony into the exclusively male underworld of Basque gastronomic societies. Likewise, Tony gets to meet with one of Europe's most renowned chefs, Juan Maria Arzak, and he eats at a special table in Arzak's restaurant kitchen. Tony also learns that Basque cuisine can be highly accessible yet delicious when Virginia takes him on a tour of the many "pintxos" or tapas bars that reflect the city's finest example of everyday Basque delights.
