Bourdain reviews five of his favorite eateries, from Bali to Brazil

UBUD, BALI
Warung Babi Guling (at Jalang Tegal San #2)
The best goddamn pig in the universe. Whole hog, stuffed with fresh herbs, then lovingly slow-roasted over a low flame and mopped with coconut milk. You will never be the same.

NEW YORK CITY
Katz's Deli
When visiting a strange city, eat what they do best. In New York, we do deli better than anyone. Katz's is the top of the pile.

MONTREAL
Au Pied de Cochon
At Martin Picard's casual, no-bullshit sugar-shack-meets-French-classic, it's about foie gras, and pork, and sausage, and all good things, in get-the-defibrillator abundance. This is a meal you have to train for.

SEATTLE
Salumi
This temple to cured meats is one of my Happy Places, and should be a damned national monument. Anything cured or braised—hell, anything they do—is worth trying.

SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL
Bar do Mané (at the Mercado Municipal Paulistano)
Get the mortadella sandwich: a steaming heap of thinly sliced mortadella and gooey melted cheese in a soft roll. This and a cold beer are the breakfast of choice for travelers in the know.
