Persians are, by and large, some of the most generous, compassionate, AND passionate people I know. I have nothing but good things to say about them and I do hope to visit some day.
tvu86 tvu86 not quite. The racism that afghans living in Iran have faced by most Iranians is disturbing. I'm not sure about the way they're treated now but nonetheless, they are only ever "compassionate" towards non afghan foreigners
I am learning how to say "Iranian" , the modern term that I hear them using always. The term "Persian" they reserve for speaking within historical contexts. So that's me doing that juxtaposition of terminology . I ain't trying to tell you to do that.
Iranian food is amazing! I loved being invited to my friend's house for dinner growing up. His mom, aunt, even grandmother all very busy in the kitchen! Everything is cooked with love and care. The different foods on the table have a wide range of flavors; they cross the spectrum of your taste buds! And their desserts are also fabulous- especially rice pudding! I am so happy I can watch this video over and over again! Now all I have to do is find a good Iranian restaurant here in the Washington area!
Unfortunately i as a 20 year old iranian born and bred here, would much rather use the term "culturally lost" or "identity confused" instead of developed. Although i would argue iranian culture us the richest of the world, but the people in recent generation are gradually losing their identity for more alien, less developed culture of the west. Praised left and right as "the good culture" by the media controlled by them selves, this self/wrongfully proclaimed good or better culture is one of the more materialistic ones with short term goals of temporary pleasure instead of long term discipline, has started to lurk inside the youth of my ancient country. Devouring their minds and undermining their own rich traditions.
And USA food? Meh xD I feel you brother. I live in Germany, 100 meters away from a Lebanese restaurant, they are dominating the hole city with their kitchen.
Iran is a beautiful country. I love Iran so much. There is no place like it in the world. I have been there 2 times in 2013 with a total time of 3 months. Iran has a magic a feeling about it. Trying to come up with a way to speak this feeling in words has been a challenge for me. But its a wonderful feeling. The food and the people are each amazing. I love the crunchy brown crust that comes with that rice. I could go on and on about beautiful Iran but I will finish now. Good work Anthony..
They don't smoke hashish there. They smoke Opium. They sell it at every corner store. It come in a pack like a pack of cigarettes and its black and gooey and you can be sure its better than any hash. The magic in the air there is a real feeling its not drugs it a feeling that I am at a los for words to explane. I can promise you this magic is there.
Respect to the people AND leaders of Iran. It's our leaders that we have appealed to that have helped us in gaining education, improvement in finances, cultural richness, etc. despite the dickhead usa bullying us. Disowning our government is disowning our nation. So I will not disown them.
Iran is a great country with a great history. Of cource any country has also problems. But forget the governments. People of Iran are great and extremly hospitable. Before u judge anything, have a trip to Iran.
Unlocked tf are you talkin ab the government hides everyhting from the media tf. They kill their own people they steal from iranians. Its US that have to fix the country. The earthquake? They did fucking nothing. The fires? They started it. When we got donated thousands of FREE masks for our people when we were one of the top countries THEY GAVE IT AWAY. Tf does that say abo our government now bud?

It's our leaders that we have appealed to that have helped us in gaining education, improvement in finances, cultural richness, etc. despite the dickhead usa bullying us.

Respect to Iran from Georgia. Very friendly people. we do have some slight similarities, we were a part of Safavid empire. And I have been to Isfahan a few times... and I gained weight each time.
I used to live in Georgia and I always wanted to visit Iran from Georgia but the establishment I was working with wouldn't allow me to due to security concerns
This was a wonderful episode... I'm glad Tony did an episode here to expose us to the human stories of this place despite what we've been told as Americans. These folks are just like us, caught up in a complicated political history that we as Americans must acknowledge.
Iran I must say looks awesome. The people homes look really beautiful and the real people seem very nice. Looks like a beautiful, historic place. Hope peace between Iran and USA in future. People have to learn to get along. Grew up with many Iranians in US. Very nice to me. Very genuine. It seems people suffer when governments dont get along.
I am a guy who grew up in Texas with wonderful, loving Iranian neighbors and as a result I am fascinated with anything Persian. Iran has been at the top of my travel list for some time and I really would love to go there but I do wonder what kind of barriers my nationality and race (I'm white) would present if I am lucky enough to visit the country inshallah. Iranians have assured me that it would be fine, and I'm sure it would, but I still hope one day that the US and Iran become better friends than they are now so that I can go there with the same mindset as going somewhere like Italy or Australia.
College Without the current government, Iran would be 10 times better. Everyone is welcome, we admire everbody especially Europeans and the general west
Forget about diplomatic problems. You can go there right now. Actually Iranian goverment welcomes Americans who want to experience Iran in person and they usually issue visa for them, though the official process is time consuming. Simply google it and your can find many Americans visited Iran and saying that being an american is actually a privilege for the turists in Iran rather than a barrier!
@College, Traveling to Iran is the best kept secret. I have traveled to 127 countries and by far, Iran is the most beautiful with the most friendliest people and amazing food. Whatever you read and saw in the Western media is completely false.
Anthony where ever you are thank you for bringing the world closer to each other , the best way to avoid war? Travel to the country and blend in with it's people, we will miss you Bourdain
I have had about 3 Iranian families living in the bldg., I live in and own (condo). They are the kindess ppl I have every come across. All are professionals, very well educated and very, very kind. I helped this young Iranian woman. She thought she was having a heart attack and asked for my help. Fortunately, for her she was not having one but I knew what she was suffering from and I told her husband when you go to the hospital tell the drs that she is having anxiety attacks. Well they came back sometime later and they thought I was some kind of miracle worker. After that she came by with baked goods, etc., which were delicious. I did not want anything in return. Just doing my job but now I have a friend for life!
Dear CNN, I beg that you release all seasons of Parts Unknown for free in full on TH-cam. It will those few of us blessed with this man's talent in opening up our eyes to a wider world of culture, tradition, and in turn shrinking it in turn by showing and sharing the common experiences across the globe, and our common and united interest and love we have in sharing our food and drink. This would be an apt tribute to Tony, and a gift upon the wider community and citizens of this planet who have not yet been blessed by the education and perspective this man has given us lucky few who have watched this amazing series. RIP Tony, may you seek the light you were searching for, while we keep in memory the flame of your presence.
God Bless your soul Anthony Bourdain for who you were and for how you contributed to educating ppl about different cultures specially The middle eastern countries
Every time I see a documentary on Iran, I can't help but notice how stunningly beautiful their women are. The Persian poets of centuries ago were right.
I travelled to 38 countries and i can say hands down the iranian people are the most genuine and generous people i have ever seen i have some pretty sicks stories from Iran been there 6 times for months at a time. Amazing country and people. Khosh omadi
"How do you think most Americans will react when they see this?" "They will start coming!" seriously want to pack a bag and fly over to Iran for this amazing meal
@super spade You’re a disgusting, horrible person for even thinking that. Everything you said was utterly abismal and based off your comment alone i already know you’re ten times more depressed than Bourdain ever was. take care of yourself.
If goverment was perfect too then ran was persia again .an empire .a danger for west . Thats why ur governments decide to remove king and patriot iranians from power and put some stupid uneducated ppl on power .my opinion
I'm a Chicagoan, Old School Chicagoan, We believe that eating food from other countries brings People together. My Dad introduced My brothers and I, to Middle eastern, and Polish foods. Amazing Food. I wish everyone was open like that.
UPDATE: After Mahsa Amini's incident and the brutal behavior of the regime, they no longer earn my support. FROM AN IRANIAN(Persian) NO government in the world is perfect. In fact you can find all sorts of corruptions and racism among any nation in East and West. UK, US, etc all have these issues. Therefore, I don't consider Iranian government a perfect one as well. However, I do support them for standing for our rights in front of all oppressors of the world. We have a great independent defense system. Especially our independent technology is admirable. 73% of our university scholars are women. So I have enough to be proud of my current government and country. Just look at our standing point and power in all these nuc negotiations and middle-eastern conflicts. It's honorable.
auggiedoggy I had many non-Muslim (Jews or Christian Armenians) friends when I lived in Iran and they all lived normally... but yes, things could be really better but again no government is perfect. I’m thinking about the treatment of black or indigenous people in the west and especially in the states
Iranian government has never represented the view of majority of its citizens in any important cultural, social, and political subject; so, I can say it’s never been an “Iranian” government in the way other nations have governments that represent them. More precisely this government is nothing more than a cult that has tapped into Iran’s oil and gas resources, that has made everyone of it’s members extremely rich, and has taken hostage a great nation.
auggiedoggy what a bunch of sheeple, they watch a culinary show and that trumps all the murder and persecution, torture, and a firm belief in anialating Israel. The common joe is frightening!
“If you don't like your guest you don’t put anything”, love it!, it talks about how welcome someone can be in a home, and because of it you should be respectful.
I can't wait to visit Iran one day, the history alone is a huge appeal let alone the delicious food. Who knew rice was taken/treated so seriously. Iranian vloggers are winning me over with their food and lifestyle vids.
Felicia Peterson It's extremely expensive in the west, but you can get some. It's source is the east especially Iran, and they have the best Saffron there.
There problem is that there is "saffron" and there is "saffron". Iranian Saffron is great, Kashmir Saffron is ok, Spanish Saffron is just incredible (also absurdly expensive outside Spain). Saffron is one of those spices that you need extremely little of for tons of flavor. It's pricier than cocaine and you literally only need 2-3 strands for a whole meal.
As a Persian-American who has been to Iran before, it's amazing to see how much visitors like Anthony enjoyed seeing the country as a beautiful place with warm and welcoming people, food, and culture. Government aside, this is a place you want to visit because it combines the old with the new in a way that you can only appreciate and throw yourself into.
Wipit Usyzn Hopefully sooner than that ! I lived in Isfahan in the late 70's it was magic. I love Iran.. I would move there if they / the government let me. Would add years to my life, very peaceful.
I don't think these people want to go to war with us and I don't want to go to war with them. Shame, I'm sure we'd both be happier if we let one another do their own thing.
Wealthy people in Iran have no difference with poor people in Iran. They just have a nice house but poor people too! BTW: Every family in Iran, poor or rich, have more then 1 or only 1 assistant in them house.
I’m Indian-American and grew up with a few Persian families in our community. They came and participated at all of our Indian events cultural events and gatherings. They were part of our family. Good people and thank you to you ancestors for inspiring a lot of Indian cuisine.
Rest in peace, can't be mad at you, you did your best , can't blame you for what you have done, you was a storyteller and you did it the best way. May you be at peace .
RIP Mr. Bourdain, thanks for letting Americans know Iran is awesome.

As a Persian-American who has been to Iran before, it's amazing to see how much visitors like Anthony enjoyed seeing the country as a beautiful place with warm and welcoming people, food, and culture. Government aside, this is a place you want to visit because it combines the old with the new in a way that you can only appreciate and throw yourself into.
Fantastic !!
R.I.P. Anthony 😔😔😔
Rest in peace Anthony.
Love this discussion and the meal is gorgeous 😉
I’m Hispanic but I love !!!! Persian people and their culture but most their food.

Greetings from India ....i wonder whether those parsi foods in india are similar or not to the ones found in iran
iran is a wonderful country
Awesome........... Anthony Bourdain
With love from Iran💜💜💜💜
I have no problem with decent Iranians. I do have a major problem with the theocrats and mullahs.
So do most Iranians. I don't think there's a nation in the world that hates their government as much as Iran hates theirs.
Yup. I say 20 years before we're back to normal
Wipit Usyzn Hopefully sooner than that ! I lived in Isfahan in the late 70's it was magic. I love Iran.. I would move there if they / the government let me. Would add years to my life, very peaceful.
Wipit Usyzn hopefully much sooner than that :(
Right to Roam you are most welcome
Rest In Peace xxxx

farewell, Tony
I don't think these people want to go to war with us and I don't want to go to war with them. Shame, I'm sure we'd both be happier if we let one another do their own thing.
Rest in peace .I've known you recently .thanks for all of nice moments you made
What a joyous piece of film.
RIP 💔
Wealthy people in Iran have no difference with poor people in Iran. They just have a nice house but poor people too! BTW: Every family in Iran, poor or rich, have more then 1 or only 1 assistant in them house.
I’m Indian-American and grew up with a few Persian families in our community. They came and participated at all of our Indian events cultural events and gatherings. They were part of our family. Good people and thank you to you ancestors for inspiring a lot of Indian cuisine.
Such beautiful people
When will they air this ?
episode six airs next Sunday, November 2.

God bless the Persians from your Jewish friend
Now get rid of the fanatics in charge so the world can come and experience your beautiful culture

That looks amazing!
He was such a sensitive/sensible soul. Such an underrated artist. Bummer. Widest view of life--the most empathetic one, which is very hard to be.
I think Freddie Mercury was Persian (by way of india)
Koofteh Tabrizi!
