anthony bourdain: parts unknown begins in just a few seconds here on cnn. thank you so much for watching. i'll see you back here next week i'll see you back here next week if not next weekend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com [ bells tolling ] we go up this beautiful mountain. mountain. this incredible town. it goes back to the 12th century. people trudge up the hill to the beautiful church to take the walk that michael corleone took. now and forever more it will be "the godfather" theme park where they are playing "the godfather" theme over and over. >> i think most thoughtful sicilians are disgusted by this. ♪

♪ >> it's one of the most beautiful places in europe, a place whose roots are very much the roots of the town where i live, but somehow i've never been able to get it right. to tell the story, any story of sicily. it's the biggest island in the mediterranean. two main towns of palermo and catania on opposite sides. i've done a show in palermo before. it was an ep inc. goat rodeo. a failure of humiliating scale. this time i was going to get it right. there's the sicily we know from films, an evocative, deeply felt history that's not quite reality but cool anyway, right? there's the simple fact of its location, tucked away under the boot of italy, part of but not really part of that country. its own language, culture, its own history of norman, arab,
5:03 pm
spanish, roman, turkish, egyptian interlopers, all leaving their mark and their influence. i grew up in new jersey which was pretty much sicily on the hudson. the italian-americans next door weren't from milan, i could tell you that much. i guess what i'm telling you is i figured this will be easy. villa moraci, a certified hotel, restaurant and working farm that in this case produces olive oil. >> how many acres of property do you have? >> about 40 acres. it's one of the oldest organic farm in the mountains. >> this is guido, the proprietor. wow. so that's where potatoes come from. how freakin' hard can it be to make an awesome show in sicily? eat the nice food, drink the
5:04 pm
wine. in an idyllic villa in the countryside, outside catania. how low impact can it get? so the plan was we go fishing. we get some fresh octopus, maybe some cuttlefish and explore the boin bounty of the surrounding waters. all while working on our tans. with a local chef, fisherman, man of the sea. he's experienced. he knows where to get it good. >> you like the ocean? >> i love it. how do you say it in italian? >> ricci. >> one of my favorite things to eat. >> this is ture, my host. what else is out there? octopus? >> octopus and also cuttlefish. and i want to try and find some small abalone.
5:05 pm
and also the clams. here the water is still cold. i think they will be really full. >> i'm thinking really? are these prime fishing waters? i don't know about this. all the boat traffic and all these people and so close to the action i can't see much of anything living down there. >> okay. we anchor here. >> but i am famous for my optimism, so i dutifully suited up for what was advertised as a three-hour cruise. ♪ so i get in the water, and i'm paddling around. and splash. suddenly there's a dead sea creature sinking slowly to the seabed in front of me. are they kidding me? i'm thinking can this be happening? splash. there's another one. splash, another rigor mortis half-frozen freakin' octopus but it goes on.
5:06 pm
one dead kuttlefish, deceased octopus, frozen sea urchin after another. splash, splash, splash. each specimen drops among the rocks or along the sea floor, to be heroically discovered and proudly shown off to camera, like i'm not actually washing as the confederate in the next boat over hurls them into the water one after another. i'm no marine biologist, but i know dead octopus when i see one. pretty sure they don't drop from the sky and sink straight to the bottom. >> how many do we have? three? >> yeah. >> okay. >> i tried to get some patate now and also small abalone. >> strangely, everyone else pretends to believe the hideous sham unfolding before our eyes. doing their best to ignore the
5:07 pm
blindingly obvious. >> don't swim at it. >> then they gave up and dumped the whole bag of dead fish into the sea. >> abelone, eh? >> at this point i begin desperately looking for signs of life, hoping that one of them would stir, become revived. i'm frantically swimming around the bottom littered with dead things looking for one that's still twitching so i can hold it up to the camera and end this misery, but, no, my shame will be absolute. for some reason i feel something snap, and i slide quickly into a spiral of near hysterical depression. is this what it's come to, i'm thinking, as another dead squid narrowly misses my head? almost a decade later back in the same country, and i'm still desperately staging fishing scenes, seeding the oceans with supermarket seafood, complicit in a shameful, shameful incident of fakery.
5:08 pm
but there i was, bobbing listlessly in the water. dead sea life sinking to the bottom all around me. you've got to be pretty immune to the world to not see some kind of obvious metaphor. i've never had a nervous breakdown before, but i tell you from the bottom of my heart something fell apart down there and it took a long, long time after the end of this damn episode to recover. ♪
5:09 pm
5:10 pm
pounding one negrone after another in a smoldering, miserable rage. our evening meal will be at ture's place which is just up the hill in turmina, but by the time dinner rolls around i'm ripped to the -- did i mention it's my birthday? i've had three hours pitching around on a bobbing boat. a couple more hours getting looped. and a couple more hours on the restaurant so i'm gone, baby, gone. so i don't remember any of this. any of it. >> so how is your day today? >> it was good. a nice boat trip. a little swim. >> i would be told later that a gentleman named tomaso joined me for dinner. also someone on the crew mentioned his wife was present and that she didn't say much. presumably because this was not her preferred way to spend her birthday. >> hi. >> tony. >> this is my passion. i like to find the old variety of olive, and one of this is white.
5:11 pm
>> so that's the original? >> yes, the original. you don't find it any place else. >> apparently there were these white olives harvested from some secret tree only ture knows about. maybe it's next to his secret fishing hole. there was great sicilian wine apparently, and apparently i drank quite a lot of it. there was bread and olive oil, abalone served raw in the shell, baby sardine, also served raw with a splash of citrus and salt. >> and this is the baby sardine, totally raw without no match ingredients to taste better the fish. salud. >> thank you. >> if you ask a sicilian, right, say where you come from? the correct answer should be i'm italian. >> right. >> no. we say i'm sicilian. >> why? is sicily italy?
5:12 pm
>> yes. >> should it be? >> i don't know, but we used to have influence from britains, normans, arab, spanish, so basically we are a mix. we are blender. >> oh, look, my octopus. i remember personally catching that one. it was a mighty struggle, too. no, actually i don't. >> octopus. >> yeah, the octopus. >> pretty, beautiful little shrimp. very tender, the octopus, very nice. >> and another traditional specialty. i'm told they call this tuna tartar. and cuttlefish, i recognize you, my friend. how traditional is this to sicily? >> i think from the part of the sea they almost eat a roll. >> always? >> yes. >> but fishermen only, fishing communities only for in restaurants? >> no. >> always as long as you arrived, you see crudo like this? >> i see it in poor families. >> the japanese sort of gave
5:13 pm
everybody permission to eat traditional foods, their own traditional foods. what are the great mother sicilian classic dishes? >> the anchovy. anchovy and parmegiana. [ speaking foreign language ] >> that's with the sardine. but it's an explosion of flower, because this plate it's arab. born in the period when sicily was very poor. >> this, i like. i even remember it. a true sicilian classic made with fennel, pine nuts, saffron and anchovy. serving alongside some sardines that have been curing in chestnuts and salt for days then lightly fried in oil. >> we have to use our hand, use our hand to eat the fish. >> no problem. i must have slunk back to bed

5:17 pm
i love the films "godfather 1" and "godfather 2" but they had nothing to do with any organized crime from reality. they're opera. magnificent opera. but basically a morality tale about loyalty and destroying the things that you claim to love and want to protect. actual organized crime members generally speaking are a bunch of lazy ass sociopaths who have no problem stealing from their own harder working neighbors. here in sicily they are less glamorous than gambling and
5:18 pm
prostitution. they are and have traditionally been a gigantic parasitic organism. one that has now grown to be of mere equal size to its host. mary is originally from new york, but she's been living here in palermo for half a century now. she's a food writer and at one time a reformer for social justice which is a dicey thing to be here. you've been here all this time? why? >> well, i came for a year. it was going to be a year between college and graduate school. i just finished college. i met a man, and therein lies the why. i married a sicilian and have been here ever since. >> piccolo napoli, a restaurant like a lot of others around here except for the quality of its food. tell me about where we are, first of all. >> the father and mother of the present owner opened this in
5:19 pm
1951 when there was a wonderful photograph there on the wall of the opening day. it started as a tavern and has become a well-known and much appreciated restaurant now. it's very straightforward sicilian cooking at its best. >> we start with some typical things, the kind of things i deeply love, the kind of simple good things that make me happy. panelli which is a fritter made from chickpeas, caponata, a sweet and sour eggplant dish, kind of like ratatouille but more arab in its influence, a plate of olives and white wine produced from a small batch vineyard run by mary and her husband. this is a panelli? >> chickpea flour that comes in with the arabs, maybe even earlier, because chickpeas have been around for a long time. >> and this is the famous caponata and about as sicilian as it gets. >> caponata and cannoli are the two internationally known sicilian dishes.
5:20 pm
>> this is what i've been waiting for. this is what i wanted sicily to be, something to soothe my shattered soul. it doesn't take much, a bowl of good pasta. in this case the famous spaghetti al nero di sepia, spaghetti in cuttlefish ink. also pasta with swordfish, eggplant, and tomatoes. ah, beautiful. perfect. perfect pasta. very happy with that. >> good. i know you've been looking forward to it so i'm glad it's good. palermo is an expensive city for some things. because the consumer is paying
5:21 pm
more. >> more. >> so that the store can afford to pay its extortion money. the big change that has happened is that up until the mid-'80s, the late '80s, there were a great many sicilians who thought if they were honest and didn't have anything to do with the mafia, they could live without being affected by the mafia. apparently 80% of the businesses in palermo and 70% in the rest of italy that pay extortion. >> that's a lot. >> that's a lot. >> but not everybody pays the bite. a small but growing coalition of businesses have joined a group, a grass roots organization taking a stand against the mafia's traditional mere total control over the food chain, from farm to table. i come out of the restaurant business in new york. you got taxed with every laundry order every time they took your trash away. it was built in to all your basic services. >> here it's much more going around. christmas and easter. >> guy comes by. >> the guy comes by.
5:22 pm
it's plain and simple extortion. >> given that that's a pretty straightforward situation, some of these guys who banded together for addio pizzo, what happens? the guy shows up. he says i'm not paying you. what happens next? >> well, apparently now the mafia has decided that it isn't worthwhile bothering with the people who belong to addio pizzo. there's so many others out there and why look for trouble. how true it is, i don't know. >> right. >> to belong to addio pizzo you have to sign a pledge that you will not pay. and if you are approached you will go to the police. >> right. >> then they send you to lawyers and to another organization which deals with the people who are actually having trouble. it's incredibly complicated. i mean, there are no easy answers. >> right. >> what about big farm? what about some of the things that are -- that are happening on a much more legitimate level? >> i mean, who is more
5:23 pm
destructive worldwide? yes. you can make a very good argument. >> that's horrible. i'm upset because i sound as if i'm making apologies for the mafia. it's just i think what has happened, that having lived 50 years in sicily, i'm much more skeptical than most americans. >> right. >> i don't know. >> i know what you're saying. you're saying you're not so sure that a mafia-free italy would be that much more functional? >> absolutely. >> i'm not so sure. >> i'm not sure at all. but i am constantly amused by the fact that 45 years ago, if i said to americans, i live in sicily. sicily. how did a nice girl like you end up in a place like that? >> really? >> now it's oh, on a farm in sicily, how romantic. oh, i envy you. so perception of sicily -- >> it has changed. >> it has changed. enormously. enormously. >> in 2007 there were only 160
5:24 pm
addio pizzo members. now over 800. pretty cool considering we're talking about a group who have demonstrated no regret or hesitation in killing judges, politicians, police, prosecutors. back to catania. and when you're talking of late night dining options, you're talking one thing. the enticing smell of smoke wafting through the streets. a smell that's enticingly equine. i smell rainbow dash. [ speaking foreign language ] >> yes, yes. yes. >> anthony and marco, a couple of sicilians and aficionados. of macellaria aqinas. this is [ speaking in foreign language ] . it's one of the older side. famous, you know, for families of mafia, you know, that grows
5:25 pm
in crime organization here. >> oh, right here? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. nowadays seems to be like a bit more quiet because they are all getting arrested. so they prefer to sell meat against drugs. >> so right over there you can bet on a horse. >> we can bet horses, yes. people like to bet horse. here you eat the one that lose. >> right. >> the loser goes on the fire. it's not a nice thing. but, i mean, sometimes happen for real. huh? >> cycle of life. all right. [ speaking foreign language ] >> so why horse? where does this tradition come from? >> from arabs. maybe also egyptians. then we have greeks 750 years before christ. then we have romans. because we have to say the sicilians are big bastards.
5:26 pm
of course, we're being conquered by everybody. also our dialect. there are many words that are understood by other people. if i say sicilian dialect word, maybe an arab can understand me, anti -- an italian, no. and the italian language comes from latin, something different. we are sicilians before italians, remember this. >> i'll never forget. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> look at this side of the meat. it's yellow, it's not white. when it's yellow, it means that h horse has been breeded eating fresh grass. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> tear and go. >> yeah.
5:27 pm
>> you like the taste? >> it's good. >> it's a bit sweet. you don't need nothing. horse meat. basically it's loved by quite everybody here. you know? [ speaking in foreign language ] you can have it for meat balls. you can have also horse meat balls. >> as you wish. whatever. i'll try anything. >> make some different things, you know. crumble bread. parmesan cheese. pecorino. >> right. >> parsley, eggs, and, of course, horse. >> horse. >> it is very tasty. let's put it this way, when my daughter asks me for a pony, i'm bringing her here, pointing at that kbril grill and saying here's your [ muted ] pony. fiber that's taste-free, grit-free and dissolves completely. so you can feel free to add it to anything.

spain long ago, this breed of pig is raising the profile of the pig here. >> the smell of -- everywhere, huh? look, look, hear now the noise. the car. they will arrive. fantastic. >> like any good-tasting high-quality pig, the secret is largely what were they fed? how did they live? were they happy? >> i'm a hunter. i've never seen so many in once. it's like i feel -- >> you should be shooting something? >> yeah. >> a poorly fed pig who lived his life in squalor, stress and fear makes for bad pork. this is why we should treat animals well, not just because that's the nice thing to do, but because it makes them provably more delicious. >> chestnuts, acorns, roots and
5:33 pm
stuff foraged from the hills, supplemented by some nice fattening grain during the winter months when wild food is less easy and less plentiful. >> they catch here the animal. only with the trap. >> right. >> it's a shame that they don't let you shoot. >> i like pigs. not to hang out with, to eat. i don't have a tattoo of a pig or anything, but i like them fine, and when given the opportunity to shoot one in the brain or see one shot in the brain so that i may suck on its entrails and other parts, i'm down. that's why it's called cheering me up from some manic depression. bang, and this pig is like pauly. you won't see him no more. even with the brain dead, the heart still goes on beating, sort of like -- pick a
