Travel shows may be the best genre of episodic entertainment on modern television. These shows have come a long way since the early days of broadcasting. It is almost more enjoyable to watch these shows than to actually travel to an exotic locale. Viewers get all the upside of learning about different cultures and none of the downsides that come from things like lost baggage and the like.
My favorite travel show that is currently on television is Bizarre Foods, which I watch on DirectTV packages. This show is fantastic because of its wonderful and engaging host. His name is Andrew Zimmern, and he is a culinary explorer. Before hosting Bizarre Foods, Zimmern was a food writer and accomplished chef. Â This is a man who has an oddly steadfast taste that craves everything that is peculiar and exotic. Â The show follows him through various countries, where he showcases the most authentic and unusual dishes anyone has ever seen. Â He will eat anything, and it is very fun to watch. Â He has tried insects, cow’s blood, fermented vegetables, and all sorts of other unusual things. Â However, he does not just have courage. Â He is also very intelligent and versatile.
Bizarre Foods is the best travel show on television. There is nothing else like it. Anyone who has any interest in exotic foods or traveling and learning about different cultures should give this show a chance.
