Andrew Zimmern Plugs Cherry Pepto And Visits Maine

Makes sense, I guess, that Andrew Zimmern should be chosen as a spokesperson for Cherry Pepto. It would be tough to come up with a better match, aside from the likes of something like Imodium. If you can't get enough of Andrew on Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern then have a look at the Taste Adventure Guides listed here. 

Speaking of Bizarre Foods, the current season is still underway, with Andrew slated to visit Maine next. Along for the ride this time - the elder Zimmern, Andrew's father. Highlights to include beaver chili and stinging nettles soup.

Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern: Spain & Gulf Coast

Thanks to the magic of the digital video recorder, I finally caught up on recent episodes of Bizarre Foods, in which host Zimmern headed to two more continents in his search for weird eats.

In Spain, he visited Madrid's Casa Botin, which has been around since 1725 and is said to be the world's oldest restaurant. Treats here included suckling pig (Zimmern, true to form, devoured the head), a pricey portion of baby eels and squid braised in its own ink.
