Morning Brief: October 7

Puerto Rican Food? Yes, Please

Celebrity Chef Anthony Bourdain toured through the Bronx for his CNN show Parts Unknown on Sunday, revealing all kinds of aspects of Bronx culture. And along the way, he tried some awfully delicious looking food, of course. One Puerto Rican/Dominican hole-in-the-wall he stopped by is making a splash for its pork-saturated menu. So maybe this under appreciated borough is starting to get some well-deserved attention.
