More Information

Originally a one-hour documentary titled Bizarre Foods of Asia, repeated showings on the Travel Channel drew consistent, considerable audiences. In late 2006, it was decided to turn the documentary into a weekly, one-hour show with the same premise and with Andrew Zimmern as the host.

Bizarre Foods draws many parallels to Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, which airs Mondays on the Travel Channel immediately after Bizarre Foods. Whereas No Reservations can be seen more as a mix of travel, unique food, and nightlife, Bizarre Foods focuses more on the ethnic foods and culture of the regions and in particular what Americans see as oddities.

Among the many weird foods sampled by Zimmern in the show, some of the most bizarre include haggis, nutria, balut, goose intestines, coconut grubs, callos (blood sausage and tripe casserole), fruit bats, and a still-beating frog heart, among many other dishes.

Zimmern begins and ends every episode with his line "If it looks good, eat it."
