Americas shadiest parts. No, that doesnt work either. Unknown shades of i took a walk through this beautiful world felt the cool rain on my shoulder found something good in this beautiful world i felt the rain getting colder sha la la la la sha la la la la la sha la la la la sha la la la la la la anthony first time on this continent . Kamau yes. As a africanamerican, theres a lot of talk about going back to this thing of the motherland. Anthony and look, a seriously radicalizing experience for africanamerican comics who come here before. Kamau yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anthony life changing, so we shall see. Kamau even walking through the streets, i have this feeling of like, when i moved from chicago to oakland you know you hear about oakland as being this black city. And you get there and its like, you know, theres black people here, but its not like anthony uhhuh. Kamau this is what i imagined oakland was going to be like. Like, this feels like this is black, you know. Anthony nairobi means cool water in maasai. Its the capitol of kenya with 6. 5 Million People living in the metro area. It grew up around a british Railroad Depot during the colonial era, halfway between other british interests in uganda and the coastal port of mombasa. I will admit to a weird, frankly unlovely sense of been here, done that. Its not a good look for me, i know. But theres a mischievous curiosity tucked away in some poisonous part of my brain thats dying to see how kamau handles the heat, the spice, the crowds, the overwhelming rush of a whole new world, because thats what it is, first time. This aint berkeley. [ horns honking ] anthony im already happy. Kamau im pretty happy because ive seen this scene so many times on your show. I finally get to be in this scene. This is going to be good. Anthony i mean, you have a kenyan name. Kamau yes. My parents met in East Palo Alto, california. You know, this is like the late 60s, starting to be the early 70s, so post the civil rights movement, at that point where black people are trying to really, like, want a connection to the motherland. And in East Palo Alto there was this push towards naming it nairobi nairobi, california. Back then, there was people who were like, we need to be associated with an example of african culture that is winning. And at that point, kenya was being looked at as winning because they had just kicked out the brits. And theres all this sort of like, you know, we need to start a whole new culture, a new government. So they start a Community College thats in peoples houses and in basements and storefronts. And i was the first baby born to one of the heads of the council, apparently. And apparently there was like a whole ceremony. It lasted eight days, and you know. I picture it like the lion king. I dont know. Theres no pictures. Anthony and yet, a proud kenyan name, given your background, why so long . What took you so long, man . Kamau i was waiting for an invitation. I think, as a black american, im still wrestling with my africanamerican identity sometimes. And im still wondering am i doing right by this culture, and does this culture think im doing right by them . And thats why i dont want to walk around like, im home i also think that a lot of times black people in america have really struggled with that as an identity, what does it mean to be a black in america . Im like i fought hard to claim this identity. Its exhausting. You know . Am i ready to start with a new one . I dont know yet. Anthony well, well see in a week when you head back. Kamau exactly. Anthony shit runs deep here. Meaning, best scientists can tell, it all started for us in this neighborhood. Tribes of huntergatherers, arab and persian traders, the omani all left their mark. But the british empires hold from 1895 to 1964 is perhaps most deeply felt. The british system of education, governance, justice, along with to a certain extent its values, were imposed on a native people and laid for better and worse much of the foundation for modern kenya. It did abolish slavery, for instance. It did build a modern infrastructure. It was also completely and fundamentally exploitative, often violent and, well, racist. Kenya existed to make white people from far away rich. But in 1963, kenya won its independence and elected its first president , jomo kenyatta, and since that time has fought an uphill battle to shake the last vestiges of colonial rule while hanging on to what worked. Things are by most accounts going well. There is a growing middle class, a highly rated educational system and an enthusiastic and multilingual professional sector. Which is to say this is decidedly not a shithole. Its dynamic, its changing, and its incredible. Kenya by kenyans, for kenyans. But hurdles exist. Bizarre, almost surreal ones in this case. Mitumba, for instance. Also known as the clothing of dead white people. Njeri 70 of africans are wearing secondhand clothes. If we can just make our own clothes and make them cheap enough, and make the money and keep the money. Anthony njeri gikera is the owner of chili mango, an allkenyan street wear company. Melissa mbugua is a managing director at a Creative Consulting firm. Anthony as i understand it, there used to be 500,000 manufacturing jobs in kenya. Textile manufacturing. And theres now 20,000. Njeri before the 80s, we had a booming textile industry that could employ 500,000 people. But now in the 80s, when the world bank introduced the free trade, we got all the secondhand clothes coming into the country. Anthony heres how it works. Your pants or your tshirt get old or boring. So, being a goodhearted soul, rather than throw them out, you drop them in a charity box, assuming theyll go to someone who needs them. But no. In fact, that Charity Sells your pants and your tshirt along with a whole lot of other clothes in bulk to a secondhand clothing exporter, a middle man, part of a billiondollar industry. Exporters then sell your stuff by the container load to places like kenya. Along the way, millions of dollars are creamed off in duties. The old clothes are then unpacked, sorted and sold in markets throughout the country. This lowcost clothing option has absolutely crushed the domestic textile market. Anthony now some countries in africa have said, wait a minute. This is not good for our employment situation. Were not going to let this stuff in anymore. What happened then . Njeri so america came and they told us they would have trade sanctions against us. Anthony if you didnt take all this used clothes. Njeri exactly. Yeah, because of the free trade, yeah, exactly. Anthony thats extortion. Melissa its pretty much oppressive. Nieri its bullying. Melissa its colonialism. Kamau usa usa [ laughter ] anthony as screwed up as the whole situation is, people do love the availability of cheap clothes. And toi market is the place to go for what in nyc would be called vintage. A dense labyrinth of shops, neatly organized by specialty. Kamau honey, i brought all the uggs back from kenya. [ laughter ] theres got to be something in your size. Anthony the challenge today is gonna be finding footwear for kamaus decidedly nonkenyan feet. Not to mention mine. Anthony nah, i need a half size up. Njeri oh, nice. Kamau there we go. I had to come to the continent to find shoes that fit me. Njeri high five high ten, yeah. Kamau lets just be clear. Some rich, annoying american person who bought these, wore them twice, and then was like, ew, theyre out of season. Melissa yeah. Anthony that debbie harry shirt is kinda cool. Yeah. I will take this, for sure. Kamau oh, here we go. Melissa oh, nice. Kamau now were talking. Black man in america wearing a king kong shirt. Melissa thats too much, yeah. Kamau i dont know how it goes over here, but in america, thats a great narc shirt. Anthony right. Kamau hey, kids. Anthony anyone want to buy some acid . Kamau this is just weird enough and simple enough. Anthony thats pretty cool. Kamau i feel like where did you get that shirt . I got it in kenya. [ laughter ] anthony is there a realistic hope that the textile industry would come back . Njeri there is to me there is. You know china and south korea, they didnt leave poverty or stop being poor by importing secondhand clothes. They did it by building all these factories, being able to export the stuff that theyre producing. So it has to happen the same way with us. You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from your allergy pills . Flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills dont. Flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. Most pills only block one. Flonase. All the tools you need for every step of the way. Make it, squarespace the new Capital One Savor card. Earn 4 cash back on dining and 4 on entertainment. Now when you go out, you cash in. Whats in your wallet . Now whe you go out, you cash in. Ok here we go guys, you ready . Hi cinturones por favor. Gracias. Opportunity is everywhere. Its gonna be fine. Its a door. Its doing a lot of kicking down there. Waiting to be opened. Whatever your ambition. Whatever your drive. Whatever youre chasing. Driver, are we almost there . Were gonna have a baby daddy daddy opportunity is everywhere. All you have to do to find it is get out. Here. My mom washes the dishes. Before she puts them in the dishwasher. So what does the dishwasher do . New cascade platinum does the work for you, prewashing and removing stuckon foods, the first time. Wow, thats clean new cascade platinum. I could be something endlessly i could be something and the i could see something all the time anthony Everybody Needs a superhero. In kibera, nairobis largest neighborhood, they make their own part of a project run by the maasai mbili Art Collective intended to empower kids who dont otherwise have much. Simon theres a swahili saying that says [ speaking swahili ] art is a reflection of the community. Mammito well, what we did is to make art. We use it as a tool. Geoff so many stories have been told about kibera. Simon but theyre negative stories. Many organizations come here in kibera, they shoot videos and films talking about aids, drugs, you know, negative things about kibera. Kamau so you have a lot of documentary crews that come through here and film crews that come through here . Geoff they usually come here. Kamau so my question i have a question. Are we assholes . [ laughter ] anthony i was ready for that. Kamau we can talk around it. I feel like a white guy right now. You know what i mean . [ rooster crowing ] anthony kibera is massive. Around 172,000 people live here. Kamau and so here, as a person named kamau, im not unique. All yeah geoff its a common name here. Kamau ive waited all my life to be common. Mammito welcome home. Ill go and tell our forefathers you are here. Kamau thank you. Thank you. [ laughter ] anthony Mammito Eunice is a comedian. Simon okuku, a musician, and geoff ochieng once voted kenyas funniest person are all using art to tell a new story about kibera. Simon it started from the challenge that weve been facing in this life. Like me, you know, ive been brought up by a single parent. I used to even engage in criminal activities. Coming across my fellow friends, who have been passing to such kind of messes, we decided to come up with an organization, known as kibera Creative Arts to try to teach our fellow young people to make them avoid getting in these traps that are set for us. Anthony kibera is also ground zero for whats called around here the white savior complex a focal point for the more than 12,000 mostly wellmeaning expat aid workers who live in kenya. Its a dynamic that can be counterproductive as salaried employment discrepancies can cause a Ripple Effect of problems for native kenyans. Many kenyans are working on a Grassroots Level to take control of their own future. Kibera Creative Arts being an example. Artists and performers from the neighborhood working to support and develop local talent. Kamau what is it like to be a comedian in kenya . How does that look . Geoff it is so hard to make people laugh in kenya. Imagine, these are people that have not paid their rent. These are people who have gone without food for some days. Kamau so they come in angry . Angry and hungry. Geoff yeah, yeah. Performer you should take me with this camera when i was small. Now that im big, let me be taken by big things. Geoff and thats the reason why when you go on stage and make people laugh, it is a plus. You say, wow, man. Mammito i love to make more people happy because theres always ups and downs in life, but we always laugh. Geoff you know when people see mammito performing and they see all the people seeing mammito as a star. If mammito is just performing and shes now a star, i dont need to go run somewhere to make me a star. I can use whatever i have because i think even in kibera we have some things that we can show to the world. Anthony by regional standards, kenya nairobi anyway is particularly tolerant. Kenya has become a sanctuary of sorts for a number of diverse ethnic, political and social groups. One such group with a steadily growing nucleus is the lbgt community. Not too long ago a nearly unthinkable development. Anthony so you shall never know this pain or awkwardness, you know, when im doing shows in the states, i often find myself, so, whats it like being black in america . Now you will share my pain. Whats it like being gay in kenya . Anthony kawira mwirichia, malcolm muga and Awuor Onyango are members of to revolutionary art love, a gay Art Collective. Kevin mwachiro is a writer and journalist. Kamau so how free can you be . Like, are there places in kenya where you could walk around Holding Hands with your partner . Malcolm you could try. Kamau are there places you can go where its not an experiment . Malcolm no. I think at all points its an experiment. Anthony well, so wheres the threat from . Where is it most dangerous . Awuor i think violence is like from homophobes. All of it is based around, like, desire of the penis. Right, so if you see two women kiss, its hot because you think you can get in there. Kamau oh, theyre just one penis short. Awuor yeah, you know, they need me to help them out with the dick. But if you kawira theres an abundance. [ laughter ] awuor and the violence, like against lesbians, always comes in the part where like men realize, oh, theyre not attracted to me. Anthony much of the news concerning gay rights on this continent continues to be pretty grim. It should be pointed out that even being gay is still illegal here. But in february of 2018, the Kenyan National gay and Lesbian Rights Commission filed suit to strike down sections of the laws arguing, well, the obvious that they violate basic human rights. What happens next . Well, a lot of people are holding their breath. If the law is overturned, what are the larger implications . Kevin if we win this case, im happy and scared at the same time. Anthony why scared . Kevin backlash, obviously. What happens is there will be people people will be attacked. I mean, were moving to an extreme end of freedom, and there will be hate. I mean, i want it to happen so bad. If it happens for us, it will be an inclusion for every other minority in this country. Hey allergy muddlers. Are you one sneeze away from being voted out of the carpool . Try zyrtec®. Its starts working hard at hour one. And works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. Stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®. Tech so you think this chip is nothing to worry about . Well at safelite, we know sooner or later every chip will crack. These friends were on a trip when their windshield got chipped. So they scheduled at safelite. Com. They didnt have to change their plans or worry about a thing. Ill see you all in a little bit. And i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust. Plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. Customer really . tech being there whenever you need us thats another safelite advantage. Singers safelite repair, safelite replace. Anthony whatever bus youre taking, it aint like this. Crosstown traffic just got a little bit wilder and more fun if youre riding the friendly skies of a matatu. Matatus are privately owned and operated bus lines, running regular routes. Fiercely competitive. To the point that owners starting making modifications and an everchanging range of themes, designed to attract the fickle commuter. Oh, yeah. Kamau not subtle. Anthony all right, lets do it, man. Culminating in buses like this mad max a rolling, postapocalyptic, seizureinducing party bus. Just the thing you need after a hard days work. Kamau im not trying to dance. Its making me dance. I dont actually want to dance. Anthony so what do people want in a mutatu . What do they have to have . Brian first of all, you need to have good music. The exterior art has to be popping. Anthony widescreen tvs. Brian yeah, tvs, wifi, air fresheners. Anthony beers and goats head soup. A global classic, slowcooked well, goats head. My companion, mr. Bell, unaccustomed as he is to the ways of africa, is new to this dish. And i dont want to sound all colonel mustard, but i eat this shit for breakfast by now. You know what i mean . Kamau i hear the words goat head soup, and i think, oh, itll be meat from the goats head in a soup. Anthony oh no, its a goat head, dude. Kamau that explains things, as we see. A fullon head of a goat. Anthony Brian Wanyama obhiando is a blogger, photographer and chronicler of the matatu phenomenon. Lucia alessandra murotto is a legendary conductor. Cathrine kambun is the owner of mad max. Anthony honored guest. Kamau honored guest. Is this eye im eating right here . Anthony yup. Salt. Anthony i generously reserve the best and most tender bits for my friend, as one does. I fear, however, that he was less than enthusiastic, initially, anyway. Wait till he tries the brain. Hes gonna love it. Kamau thats my first eye. Anthony yeah . Its all right. Kamau i knew id end up doing Something Like that with you. [ laughter ] anthony so you own the business . Cathy yeah. Anthony and how long have you been in the business . Cathy like five years. Anthony we want to get into the mutatu business. In new york. Kamau yes. [ laughter ] anthony thinking about some improvements. We need a hot tub. This could reinvigorate Public Transportation as we know it. Kamau especially in new york and l. A. , people dont like the bus. And what does it mean to be the conductor . They dont just let anybody be the conductor. Lucia in this job you need to have a lot of patience. Just somebody whos had a bad day, they just dont want to pay. If you dont have patience you just find yourself on top of the moon. Kamau so can you tell me, whats it like growing up as an italiankenyan . Lucia um, the challenges i had was a kid was my hair. Everyone wanted to touch my hair. One thing i love about this job is that i meet all types of people. And i dont look down on them and they dont look down on me. Thats the best part of it. Anthony just wait until new york city sees kamau and my joint venture the wolf blitzer. Ignition sequence starts. 10. 9. Guidance is internal. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. With new, more secure numbers.

Lewa Wildlife Conservancy seeks to address the problem of keeping all this alive and safe without excluding or marginalizing the people whove lived here for centuries. Karmusha this is dave, guys. Look at this guy here. This is dave the giraffe. Hes a residential giraffe. Hi, dave. Anthony our guide is karmushu kiama. He grew up in a village near here and has a deep knowledge of the wildlife of lewa. Kamau this is significantly better than the zoo, i guess that goes without saying. Anthony yeah. Kamau for some reason i had a negative connotation of safari. Anthony they used to shoot animals in safari. Theres our kind of safari and then theres the, you know, trump jr. Safari. Kamau yeah, i think i was afraid every time i said the word that people were just like, what are you doing . Like anthony no, this is this is a good kind of safari. Kamau okay. Anthony good for the world. Kamau okay, good. Karmusha 100 good for the world. Kamau good for the world. Kamau i think we need another word or something. Karmusha see an elephant . Anthony where . Karmusha right there. Kamau even if you see them in a zoo closer, theyre behind bars that it just doesnt feel connected. But i feel like were right here. Anthony yeah, hes actually going someplace. Kamau yeah, hes not just walking in a circle. Hes actually got stuff to do. Anthony the fact of the matter is, these magnificent animals would most likely be gone without the intervention of man. People pay a lot of money to come see these animals. Without that money, the overwhelming likelihood is that they would have been wiped out long ago. Particularly this one whoa, whats that . Karmusha thats a rhino. Our first rhino. Kamau wow. Anthony the conservancy was set up specifically to protect these guys. [ gunshots ] poaching is, of course, an everpresent danger to both the animals at lewa and the people who look after them. Particularly the rhinoceros, whose horn is believed by wealthy chinese buyers to be a strong medicine with virilityenhancing powers. The reality, that the substance that makes up a rhino horn is the same as the human fingernail, does not deter a market that will pay tens of thousands of dollars for a single horn. With 62,000 acres to cover, lewas antipoaching program is necessarily aggressive, inclusive, and cutting edge, relying on local trackers, advanced tracking technologies, and perhaps most importantly, Good Community outreach and intelligence gathering. If the local people are not on your side, you are at a serious disadvantage. Karmusha so thats a white rhino. Kamau its a white rhino . Karmusha that is a white rhino. Kamau so how do karmusha its nothing to do with the coloration. White was an african name whit which means widemouth. And whoever came to write about them put an e there. Then it became white. Kamau okay, because you said white rhino, and i was like karmusha yeah, its not white. Kamau i think his dad might be black. Anthony does it look like you wanted it to look . Or expected it to look . Kamau i mean, uh, no. I mean, i guess i dont know. I mean, i grew up as a kid, you know, my first images of africa were tarzan, you know . So i dont think i knew what kenya africa was. You know . Anthony what a shithole, right . [ laughter ] kamau what a shithole. I mean, the other thing im aware of too is i think about not wanting to feel like i have come home, you know . And yet there is a sense that there is this diasporic connection, even though i did not come from kenya, you know . Its nice to have that connection. Even if the frame that that connection was built through was colonialism. Its the good part of colonialism. It brings people together. [ laughter ] anthony i dont know. It should kind of be compulsory viewing for if you ever run for president , this should be compulsory viewing. Kamau at the very least, i do think that a lot of perspectives will be opened up, a lot of minds will be changed. You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else. Why accept it from an allergy pill . Flonase relieves sneezing, itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, plus nasal congestion, which most pills dont. Its more complete allergy relief. Flonase. Tom traditionally, weve had some sort of conservation culture, which sort of got eroded. Its been with us, its been with our forefathers. We just lost it somewhere, recently. And were trying to get it back. Anthony when you have traditional pastoral communities under intense and immediate pressure, trying to convince them that wildlife, which can, as in the case of one rhino or elephant, bring in lifechanging amounts of money, it is a hard thing to convince them that it is in their longterm interest to let them live particularly when it was often wealthy white outsiders doing the asking. Mike if you are very successful in managing this excattle ranch as a conservancy, but wildlife across kenya as a whole had no future, then to all intents and purposes youve just established a zoo. And so what lewas ethos has always been is to just show kenyans that actual wildlife can have value and benefit. Anthony mike watson is the ceo of the Lewa Conservancy. Tom lalampa leads the Northern Rangeland trust. Faith riunga is the head of education at lewa. And wanjinku kinuthia is head of communication. Youre responsible for a larger picture, involving a huge challenge. First, the immediate needs of a lot of people. But also, potential conflicts with the traditional way of life. How have you been able to do what youve been able to do . Tom i was born in and brought up in a very strong pastoral background. We were really antianything about conservation. Really anti, because one we had the perception that this is a government thing, this is about grabbing our land kamau it probably doesnt help that a lot of that land is owned by white people, right . Somebody else is owning our land. Tom initially. Kamau okay. Tom theres also a perception that conservations being driven by the white, and so its not about the communities, its not about us. Its about them. But you know, gradually, um, we came to realize that the approach that was being introduced was a community approach. Faith going back 13 years back, there was one girl who made it to high school. And shes speaking english, shes dressing up, and the other girls are like, you know what . Id like to be her. And the more, and more, and more theyve seen, go through high school, graduate, slowly by slowly they get to see the value themselves. Education works very well. Kamau are there efforts for people in the community who couldnt afford to come in here to sort of see whats going on in here so they can have the wanjiku yeah, we have a Conservation Education Program here, with over 3,500 School Children come on to lewa, free of charge, go around, get to see wildlife, because unless you can afford to go to National Parks or to places like lewa, then you definitely wouldnt have the opportunity to interact with wildlife. Kamau so were headed towards the lions . Is that what were doing right now . Karmusha so now you can see at the peak, you can just see something sticking out. Thats a lion sitting. Anthony oh, i see. Right next to the little tree. Kamau whoa. Anthony oh, theres a bunch of them. Karmusha yeah, yeah. If were lucky, they might come down the hill. Kamau thats lucky . We define lucky in different ways. Karmusha they seem to be having their eyes on something. Hes going to go left so we have a good position. Kamau hey, how you doing lion . So the lion is about 30 feet from us or so . Just my family, i love you. Thats just in case. Tech so you think this chip is nothing to worry about . Well at safelite, we know sooner or later every chip will crack. These friends were on a trip when their windshield got chipped. So they scheduled at safelite. Com. They didnt have to change their plans or worry about a thing. Ill see you all in a little bit. And i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust.

And works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. Stick with zyrtec® and muddle no more®. Anthony just outside the borders of Lewa Conservancy is a massai village known as the Il Ngwesi Community range. They are working with lewa to not only embrace conservation but also to maintain their way of life. Kip in maasai traditional way, we got our diets, which is meat, blood and milk. At least once in a while, they do blood tapping. Anthony to the maasai, the cow is a sacred animal. Giver of all things. Unlike the west, meat is not the primary interest. Here, cattle are sustainable, a longterm asset, for milk, for cheese, and on special occasions, blood. Straight from the tap. Anthony okay, here we go. All right, well done. Anthony annoying as hell for the cow, no doubt, but decidedly not fatal. It might, however, prove fatal for my colleague kamau, who unlike me, has never experienced this local beverage. A warm jet of arterial blood into the gourd, add some thick, clotting milk, also from cow. Shake, and down the hatch. Kip would you like to have a sip . Anthony yes. Here we go. Oh, youre going to like it. And keep in mind the whole village is watching. And you are on tv. Kamau okay. Im home. Anthony makes you strong. Kamau yeah. Anthony well done. Kamau thank you, thank you. Anthony working with the local Maasai Community is both an absolute necessity, and the right thing to do. To displace and forever disrupt the people whove lived here forever, in favor of animals that wealthy white people want to take pictures of would be hideous and unconscionable. This is happening elsewhere on the continent, but the people at lewa and il ngwesi are working very hard to find a better path. [ lela speaking foreign dialect ] kip hes saying the meaning of the word il ngwesi. Its the people who survive by hunting and gathering. [ lela speaking foreign dialect ] kip and hunting wasnt what we understand of hunting today. It was hunting for survival, for food. Not for business, not for selling anthony trophies. Kip trophies and stuff. Anthony jonathan kip is a maasai chief. Lela kinyaha is a maasai elder here at il ngwesi. Anthony was this an easy or a difficult transition . Or was it imposed from outside . Kip the transition first is when the poachers or the sport hunting was happening, we think it was a western idea. Anthony yup. Kip and we were not beneficiaries of it. Until when an idea came from lewa and said, well, we can turn Wildlife Conservation for the future of this land, conserve land for the future generations. I think they did what we say, you know, you teach a person how to fish, instead of providing them fish. So they taught us how to fish. And from there, we are not being driven by lewa anymore, or any white person, or any ngo. Lewa is still a great, great neighbor. So we need each other, but we are not really dependent of each other anymore. We value the game, we value the animals, we know where were heading to. Anthony and just like that, after months of drought throughout kenya rain. Kamau i was told that since im kamau from america, i brought the rain. Kip great, well done. Anthony giver of rain. Anthony who gets to tell the stories . This is a question asked often. The answer in this case, for better or for worse, is i do. At least this time out. I do my best. I look. I listen. But in the end, i know. Its my story, not kamaus, not kenyas or kenyans. Those stories are yet to be heard. Anthony welcome to the enchanted, seldomvisited wonderland of asturias. Thats in spain, if you didnt know. And of course because its spain, i did not come here alone. I came here with a good friend, great chef. Hes a complicated man. Nobody understands him but his woman. And im not talking about john shaft, shut your mouth. Im talking about jose andres. Jose another beer wide shit, and tonys w
