***** yes because they can't do anything more, I speak spanish so i can clearly see and understand that the chefs are getting somewhat uncomfortable. I mean, not in the level of "Huh, what an annoying cunt" but in a way of "This aspect of her I don't like"

Seriously. Wasn't so sure at first but she has a knack for travelling and taking everything in stride as it comes. Awesome personality. I want to see more of her as well!

Actually San Sebastian is the City with highest density of Michelin stars per person, and I think the second one with the most, only behind tokyo

This 5-part documentary on the foods and cuisine in Basque country is a culinary marvel. One of the most detailed and complete food documentaries I have ever seen. It did not hurt, of course, that the show was blessed with a charming and very competent guide, Irene. Or that the Basque region has one of the greatest concentration of Michelin-star chefs in the world: the result of the Basque people's obsession with good food, both by preserving centuries-old traditions, and by experimenting outrageously with the biochemistry of the edible.

Like a teenager, I'm in love with everything Basque! I want to quit my job and move to the region to cook in any one of those restaurants. This one, by far, was my favorite series, yet. Keep this going, and don't change a thing. Keep the same crew, and send them all over Iberia.

The first genuine TV food show host I have seen since Keith Floyd, Rick Stein, and Anthony Bourdain. Give how many TV food show hosts there are, that is an amazing feat. Incredibly rare.

More Irene on Munchies!

Como vasco que soy sólo puedo estar agradecido por estos 5 videos que nos has dedicado. Soy uno más de todos los vascos que estamos enamorados de nuestra tierra, de nuestra gente, de nuestra cultura. Por norma general, la gente que al igual que tú pasa por nuestra tierra se enamora enseguida, no sólo por la gastronomía, también por el don que tiene la gente de hacerse querer y de ofrecerse con todo el cariño a quien venga a visitarle. Somos un pueblo muy incomprendido que solo queremos decidir nuestro futuro y vivir en paz y libertad. Y sabiendo que has viajado alrededor del mundo, estoy seguro de que te habrás dado cuenta de que somos un país diferente. Gracias Irene por habernos dedicado un espacio en vuestros documentales.

At first, I wasn't so sure I liked her, but damn she grew on me. I was literally excited when I saw the last few of these. Irene needs to be on Munchies more often! And damn, this last episode made me crave going to Spain!

Irine is awesome! Really enjoyed this series, I'm sure I will visit Basque Country some day

To everyone out there judging the host or the directness. Its very normal in Spain. So if you are not from Europe come for a visit. We don't like to talk around it.

You guys have to bring this lady back. She's really entertaining!!

I love the fact that renowned chefs look forward to go out eat and love others chefs food.

I absolutely adore her!

This has been the best Guide To mini-series Munchies have brought out - two thumbs up! Great host and genuinely interesting because she's able to connect with her subjects so well. Now I really want to go to Barcelona!

Irene Peralta was a joy to watch and the series was really interesting. It's been 30 years since I traveled in Spain and this makes me want to go back tomorrow! I especially enjoyed her fighting with Martin for the plate he took away (glad she got to try it).

Great series munchies. I loved it it!!

Favorite "Guide To" so far. Irene is a nice change of pace.

Mas Irene por favor! She's an awesome host. She's clever, funny, pretty in a girl next door kind of way, and has a bit of a mischievous streak.

Felicidades, lo habéis clavado. :) Espero que hagáis más cosas para Munchies.

This is my favorite series by far! More please :D

really nice series!

That seven-star chef tho...you get why he has seven stars. He wants those who eat his food to only eat it at its very, very best...a really extreme standard of quality he has for his food!

i'm amazed he didn't know about the crystal scales. just a quick incursion into khmer and vietnamese cuisine, with the Mekong fish would make that obvious

Amazing opportunity!

Hi Guy's, Thanks for your video. Will check out some of the places featured. Which is the best area to stay in San Sebastion ?

EPIC , thank you vice , only thing I don't understand was about the tempranillo and rioja region, why were the grapes white?

Excellent episode. It is nice to see Spanish (Basque) guys getting a little bit drunk like Northern Europeans (it isn't often you see somebody from Spain drunk - estaban borrachos, pero no eran borrachos.).

This video made me step into side of cook So well made video, and this video made me have the best pleasent moment from the cooking documentary. P.s (i want to go there and eat, but can' afford it to go, and eat....)

nice series with a good host again

I need more Irene in my life :(

Yo, that was nice and tasty. Just one li'l note on the side: apionabo means celeriac, not celery + turnip (that'd be apio y nabo).

I think the 3 chefs at the end wanted some of irenes pinchos in the hotel room!
