Chef Keller meets Rio-born cookbook author, Leticia Moreinos Schwartz at the beautiful Ipanema Beach for a run and juice stop. Afterwards, they head to Rio's famous pedestrian mall for a tour of Confeitaria Columbo, one of the most elegant teahouses in the world. Then it is an introduction to Brazil's most famous and beloved dish of all: Feijoada, a delicious meat and black bean stew. At the Caesar Park feijoada buffet, Chef Keller finds 10 unique feijoadas including some that use some surprising cuts of meat. The last stop is at the beautiful Bar Urca which sits on the scenic Guanabara Bay next to Sugar Loaf Mountain.
