Bizarre Foods Survival Special

No, he is not going to be doing a guest appearance on Survivor. But instead, taking a one-hour boat ride from Puerto Vallarta, to a remote island where he fends for himself. Basically Man vs. Wild minus that British nut job. A sample of the survival menu includes coconuts (nothing scary there), grasshoppers (okay...maybe a little scary), wild lime (hmmm), pig weed (not a clue), and opihi (YES)! Okay, I lived off opihi back in Hawai'i and I gotta say, one of the best creatures the ocean has to offer. If you love sea snails, this is a must. The best part is prying those little suckers (literally) off the salty rocks while clinging onto the rocky edge and being pounded by waves. Man, I miss Hawai'i! Okay, I'm going off track here. Here's a 2 minute sneak-peek of Andrew with a survival guide (an actual guide as in human, not a book) before he's left into the depths of the jungle to do who knows what.

Now, if you actually watched the clip, did he seriously just eat that LIVE baby lizard??? Now, here's the man that is freaked out by SPAM, but will eat a baboons butt. Okay, I don't know if he actually has eaten that but you never know with this guy! And that's why we love him.
So tune in folks, Tuesday night at 10 E/P, to see what craziness he gets into. Maybe when the boat goes back to pick him up, he'd have gone all Lord of the Flies with the camera crew. FUN!!!

Bizarre Foods- Singapore

You don't hear much about Singapore. Except for the strict cleanliness laws that they're famous for. But really, how many Singaporean restaurants do you know of? Me? Nada. That's why I'm pretty excited about watching tonight's episode where Andrew will enlighten us on the food of Singapore. So tune in tonight, Tuesday 10 E/P! Here's a clip with Andrew with some mutton that looks absolutely de-lish!

Bizarre Foods- Appalachia

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm a food fanatic. I've also become obsessed with The Travel Channel and the food programs on that blessed channel. One of my absolute faves? Bizarre Foods! Andrew Zimmern, the shows host and co-creator, always has this high and positive energy, and is always very respectable of the people and their cultures whether he digs the food, or not. Remember, you're on their turf. Tonight's episode is focused on the Appalachia region. Should be interesting. As all of the episodes are. What can I see the locals cook up for him and his crew? Squirrel? Possum? Raccoon? Maybe all of the above! So watch it with me tonight, Tuesday, May 5 @ 10 E/P! Here's a clip of the leg-slappin' banjo-playin' fun, Andrew's gonna be cookin' us tonight!
