Zimmern has been part of the food TV world for a while now, and I think this show is his best. It's visual and auditory pace are not overwhelming, they're friendly and grounded. Compared to the negative and caustic attitude that's so prevalent, this show feels like an oasis of happy joy over the eating experience. Not trying to cram as much music and quick cuts as possible in your face, but gliding you along in a sincere and constructive way. Andrew visits many large cities and gives an overview of what he loves feeling like they're carefully plucked out of a colorful panoply that each town offers. It promotes passionate real restaurants and has a loving, accepting, nurturing vibe that leave you feeling good and wanting to go to these cities and visit the kind of restaurants that are on unbiased display. This was a show I looked forward to coming home from a difficult day at work and watching. Lighthearted authentic fun.
