This totally slipped my mind until right now, but I just remembered that the fourth episode of Season 6 of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations involves a visit to New Bedford. The episode - involving the exploration of the Azores - begins with Anthony reliving his restaurant days as a cook in Portuguese operated eateries in New Bedford, to his wonderment at the high levels of Portuguese immigrants in the area, &, finally, to his traveling to the Azorean islands to discover the origin of local New Bedford delicacies. New Bedford is really only in the beginning of the episode, but the whole thing is useful to learn more about Portuguese immigration to the area & learning about the spreading of ethnic foods.
It is available instantly on Netflix, so if you have 45 minutes to spend, definitely check it out!
