by Zimmern, Andrew
Broadway, 2009. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x1x9. First edition. An exceptional copy. 2009 Hard Cover. Andrew Zimmern, the host of The Travel Channelâs hit series Bizarre Foods, has an extraordinarily well-earned reputation for traveling far and wide to seek out and sample anything and everything thatâs consumed as food globally, from cow vein stew in Bolivia and giant flying ants in Uganda to raw camel kidneys in Ethiopia, putrefied shark in blood pudding in Iceland and Wolfgang Puck's Hunan style rooster balls in Los Angeles. For Zimmern, local cuisine â bizarre, gross or downright stomach turning as it may be to us -- is not simply whatâs served at mealtime. It is a primary avenue to discovering what is most authentic â the bizarre truth â about cultures everywhere. Having eaten his way around the world over the course of four seasons of Bizarre Foods, Zimmern has now launched Bizarre Worlds, a new series on the Travel Channel, and this, his first book, a chronicle of his journeys as he not only tastes the âtaboo treatsâ of the world, but delves deep into the cultures and lifestyles of far-flung locales and seeks the most prized of the modern travelerâs goals: The Authentic Experience.
