Anthony Bourdain No Reservations in Panama

Did you hear him mention ‘leche de tigre’? This is drinking the remaining liquid from cerviche, taken for curing a hangover!

The fish market was built by the Japanese – apparently had something to do with pre-payment for some canal transits!

Now, Isla Grande – this puzzled me as to why Anthony Bourdain chose to go there and who recommended it to him. We just visited in November 2009 and saw pretty much what we expected: trash, poverty, rundown buildings. We are often asked to book accommodations on the island, but cannot recommend anyone go there. We saw the Congo Restaurant (where Anthony ate seafood) and it was not somewhere I would eat.

When asked what Anthony knew about the food of Panama prior to the trip, he said nothing! JB Journeys – the Panama Boutique – aims to change that. Take a look at our Culinary Offerings!
