Indonesian Food: Southeast Asia's Last Culinary Frontier

Across the entire world, there are less than 1000 Indonesian restaurants. That's fewer than Georgian- a country of 3 million people. And Indonesia has almost 100 times that number; the 4th largest nation on the planet. How is that possible? How has the cuisine of Southeast Asia's most populous country gone unnoticed- and what is it, anyway?

There are 17,000 islands in the Indonesian archipelago and summarizing all of it in a single video is impossible; but that doesn't mean there aren't common threads, a shared history, and signature dishes worth attention. And anyway, Indonesia is more about a culture that's unlike anywhere else on Earth.
