Going Where The Fringe Isn't Extreme

I case you weren't aware, Andrew Zimmern, host of Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods" has a new show out. It's called "Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre World". The new show is much like the older one, but even better. Before, one might've wondered why he would wrestle with locals from another country, or bother to show a lot of the adventures he's been taken on during a program about primarily over-the-top foods of different parts of the world.. But not anymore.

“I’ve never been a mainstream kind of guy,” Andrew Zimmern asserts in his new show, “Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre World,” beginning on Tuesday night on the Travel Channel. “I’m into exploring the fringes of a culture.”

So what does he explore in Cuba, the subject of his first episode? Cigars, old American cars, boxing and baseball, rumba and salsa, a May Day parade, and Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner’s honeymoon suite at the Hotel Nacional. If this is the fringe, then “The Godfather: Part II” was science fiction. Click on Andrew to continue..
