A. Video: Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern (Chengdu)
Bizarre Foods is a documentary-styled travel and cuisine program hosted by Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel. Bizarre Foods focuses on regional cuisine from around the world which is typically perceived by the American masses as being gross, unique, or, of course, bizarre. In each episode, Zimmern focuses on the cuisine of a particular country or region. He typically shows how the food is procured, where it is served, and, usually without hesitation, eats it.
Andrew goes to Chengdu China, the epicenter of tongue-numbing, spicy Sichuan cuisine. From pig brains dunked in the boiling chili oil of the Chengdu Hot Pot to mind-blowing spicy rabbit heads to heart attack noodles, Andrew finds out just how much heat he can stand.
