Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations

Delicious Destinations is a series of "B" roll footage and other footage created by people not otherwise associated with Andrew Zimmern which is actually "hosted" by Andrew Zimmern. In reality it's just Andrew Zimmern on a green screen doing voice over for repackaged stock footage of places where he's not there. The production values are low, (especially the green screen), the content is barely watchable and it's more like something that the local Chamber of Commerce put together. In many ways, it's far more Bizarre than anything the good Mr. Zimmern has otherwise done. If you wanted to make it even more Bizarre, Andrew you should probably dress up or use costume props for the places you're supposedly visiting. At least, it'd let everyone else in on the joke.

this series is a total waste of time.

it's all just clips from other travel channel shows. nothing new; he doesn't go there, and most of the times the clips are years old. there was a skyline shot of Atlanta that was not even from this decade.

calling it a "new series" is just an insult. travel channel just isn't trying with this one. if you watched any previous bizarre foods episodes you will spot every clip in this rehashed excuse for a show. should be legally called "bizarre foods - you've seen all this already."

he's just standing there reading lines. doesn't even go to the "delicious destinations."

Good idea and it is interesting to learn about these top foods.

However, it looks very much like Andrew never actually travels to these locations but shoots a couple of green screen scenes in front of famous eateries & his crew then interview people about their experiences.

Cheap production but still worth watching to learn about the food.

Recycled and informative if you are traveling to other destinations. One let down. I went to Reykjavik Iceland which is a culinary destination in itself and Andrew never did a episode about it.

Disappointing. I really like Zimmern and admire him, but standing in front of a green screen and reading the narration is really cheesy, and not in a good way. Did they think no one would notice?

The content is pleasant enough, but lacks the interaction of Zimmern with the locals and there is nothing "bizarre" in evidence here. Some of the comments by the locals are so inane (I like this, it is good.) that it's hard to believe that this is not a parody.

I also happen to listen to musical soundtracks and hearing Hungarian gypsy and Russian music as background on the Warsaw show just drives home the cheap production values here.

Come on, Andy, your fans really expect something better from you.
