Phil feels the beat — and heat — while dancing at Carnival, sampling fruit and feijoada, sipping potent caipirinhas and pigging out at a churrascaria.

In one of his favorite cities, Phil savors chocolate croissants, queasily sails the bay and visits with culinary icons Alice Waters and Thomas Keller.

Mouthwatering fare from the hawker markets delights Phil, who also digs into a to-die-for Peranakan meal and admires the area's stunning architecture.

Exploring the aloha spirit on the beaches and beyond, Phil enjoys poke, shave ice, huli huli chicken, poi and — gasp — even a few outdoor adventures.

Phil soaks up the Southern scenery — and plenty of barbecue sauce — as he munches on ribs, fried lobster, hot tamales, alligator and a slab of steak.
