      I think this is one of the best stories you have done. I think continuing on with the small business old school mom and pop type places is great. I personally would love to see some footage from the divey places in Mexico just south of the American border like Tijuana. So much strange coverage about immigration and border security in the U.S.. It would be nice to see a true family business making sweet food.

    I'm glad this series is back. There's a lot of personality driven food or food adjacent shows to watch, so I appreciate having something else in the high production short form/medium-short form range. The lack of a central personality allows for peace to be a more quiet relaxing product, which I appreciate.

    So happy to see this video. I go to 188 every couple of weeks when I'm jonesing for morcilla aka Puerto Rican blood sausage. Always walk out with over $50 worth of cuchifrito. Been going since 1983. The only Puerto Rican cuchifrito spot left now in the Beonx. Well worth the trip and the wait in line. Fantastic food. 🇵🇷🤗

This place is an institution. I hope that it's able to stay at it's current location . It's part of the fabric of the Bx. Thanks for shinning a beautiful light on a beautiful place, I call home.

    Thankfully, in the US, people seem to be aware of this and are fighting to keep small businesses open. If I ever visit NYC, I'll definitively make a visit.

    This is a great story about a personal business and the owner with his son. This spot is nothing special as it’s a dime a dozen in the Bx and in Spanish Harlem. Bourdain probably decided to highlight this one because it’s the Bronx and the large PR community there and yes, this is one type of successful personal business ran by PRs and DRs.
