“Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” in Korea

Posted by ZenKimchi in Press, Shameless Self Promotion | 3 comments

I asked if you could guess which celebrity chef was in Korea. One of you guessed correctly.

For a couple of weeks, Eun Jeong, a few valuable friends and I have been helping the production of “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” set up locations, food suggestions, research and on-air guides for their shoot in Korea. Eun Jeong herself, along with our friends Eun-hak and Daniel (Seoul Eats) got to be on the show eating “bizarre foods” (what we usually call “lunch”).

We can’t give away what’s going to be on the show yet, but I can say right now that it promises to be the best food show about Korea, even better than the Korea shows done by “The Thirsty Traveler” (“So, This is Soju“) and “Anthony Bourdain No Reservations.” Now, I think both those shows did well, so this is saying a lot.

The episode comes out on the Travel Channel sometime between December and February. If you can’t get the show where you are, you can download it on iTunes like I do.

NOTE: For a comprehensive look at the episode, including behind-the-scenes stories, photos, restaurants and info about the foods, click here.

Joe McPherson is the founding editor of ZenKimchi. He is also dining editor for 10 Magazine and writes and consults for multiple publications. He is the only non-Korean judge for the Korean section of the Miele Guide--but don't ever call him a food critic.
