Stinky tofu episode around the 5:00 minute mark

Re: Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmerman
 

Yeah, it's not at all "Fear Factor"-ish.

Most of the time he says that things are really good, and most of the time I think he's being honest. There are some times when either I'm picking up on a little dishonesty or something just seems so weird/gross to me that I can't believe he actually likes it. Then there are a couple times when even he, this guy that eats bird embryos feathers and all, runs into something so bad he can't eat it. Those are pretty funny.

Overall an ok show. On Survivor: China last week, they had balut for sure and I think some other things I've seen him eat.

He exemplifies the ugly american. Goes to other countries and talks down to them about their cuisine and acts like a bitch the whole time "this is too spicy that is too raw this is too strong ewww that smells yuck yuck" i'd like to slap that bitch across the face

really? the few episodes ive watched, i thought i remember his being very respectful and accepting of new foods and flavors.

Totally agree.

In fact, I feel like he keeps himself in check to a fault.

Here's me: "No I'm not gonna eat that egg--IT'S GOT A PARTIALLY-FORMED EMBRYONIC CHICKEN INSIDE OF IT WITH FEATHERS AND A BRAIN!! YOU PEOPLE ARE MONSTERS!!"

That's why I don't have a show like that.

Re: Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmerman
 

This job definitely requires an very open mind and an open stomach. Based on some of the clips though, I think he does a pretty good job at judging the food.

Though I wish the guy was a bit better looking and less bald and tubby so that he can represent Americans better. as a I know, coming from an asian family, we are quite judgmental of race and thus reinforcing unfavorable stereotypes (loud, fat, belligerent americans!) certainly doesn't help break them.

Re: Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmerman
 

Usually about once an episode there is something that he doesnt like or doesnt eat. He is very nice to the locals and doesnt like bad mouth the food.
Most of the stuff he eats is like stuff we don't eat in America but are local delicacies or the local dish. He will eat alot of organs and innards from pigs, cows and chickens.
Its alot about the travel aspect

Re: Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmerman
 

He seems legit interested in the food, and I almost get the feeling he would be eating it whether or not there was a camera following him. Love the guy, love the show.

Re: Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmerman
 

Sounds like Anthony Bourdain's show, which is pretty good, imo.
