Anthony Bourdain finds a divided Jamaica in this week's episode of "Parts Unknown."
"There's the Jamaica that most Jamaicans live in, cook in, struggle to survive in. The real Jamaica," Tony says. "Then there's the Jamaica which you're probably more familiar with."
That would be the sun, surf and rum-fueled paradise that most visitors seek out.
That's not where Tony's headed, though. He spends his time on the northeast coast between Port Antonio and Oracabessa, where irresistible food and music, stunning natural beauty and friendly locals give visitors a true sense of community. "It has the feel, still, of a forgotten paradise," he says.
Tony's key question: "Can a place this beautiful be unspoiled forever?"

Sun, sand and sea is a delicious recipe by its very nature. Add a plate of ackee and saltfish, a traditional Jamaican dish of the creamy, savory ackee fruit and rehydrated dried fish, and you're well on the way to concocting paradise. A splash of rum won't hurt to add to the mix either. Or, for the braver souls, a generous shot of the liquor in a Red Stripe beer for a local fisherman's drink called a "steel bottom."
