Default Bizzare Foods with Andrew Zimmerman

Anyone else find this TV program utterly disgusting yet funny at the same time?

For those who have never seen it, its about this Bald Porky White Chef guy named Andrew who goes to like foreign/2nd world countries and eats their cusine...

Example : In alaska he ate fermented raw seal flipper ( Seal flipper which is raw and burried in ground for many months to let rot)

I mean I try not to throw up when I watch it but it's so funny how he gives his culinary views on the horrid foods he eats....

Anyone else watch this show? It's on the Travel Channel

I saw a few commercials for it the other day. I don't understand the appeal of this show, though. It's like Fear Factor without the competition.

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

Agreed, I think I only saw the alaska one but he actually made it seem bizarrely tasty.

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.

He's gracious... the show is good overall, but he is kind of a douchebag overall. Does anyone else see this?

solids,

the way the show goes though, he doesn't frame it like "omg, look at this grosssss food im going to eat" and he never shows any puking/gross face reactions, so thats not what its all about.

its actually a pretty interesting show. in reality, not all the food he eats are THAT gross and its more of a travel/food show.
