This is one of the few instances that it is better to just watch the Television show. The TV Show is amazing, but the book was nothing that you couldn't get from watching the show.

First off -- I love Andrew Zimmern. If I have a chance to watch a show he is on, I will. I love his open heart, his ability to learn and grow in a public sphere, his childlike sense of adventure, and his smile. Most of the things he is known for eating are things that I would never try. Even the pricey food in world renowned restaurants. But I will watch him do it and learn something. I consider him a friend of sorts, the same sort of everyman relationship that Tom Hanks evokes because he is who he appears to be even though we have never met. He is also in many ways the reverse side of the coin from the late great Anthony Bourdain, who was his friends. Both traveled the world and taught us to connect with and love our fellow people through the lens of food. Both battled mental health demons and addictions. Sadly, we lost Tony. I hope Andrew sticks around for a very long time.

This book is very similar to the show, but you get to paint the picture in your head. :)

While I love Andrew Zimmern dearly, if you watch the show at all this book will merely be a text version of many episodes. I would recommend this book to those who enjoy travel writing but haven't watched the show. Andrew's natural enthusiasm shines through just as it does on screen.
