Food is always the first impression you remember when you are in a new country or city. There are great shows that travel all over the world trying traditional foods and customs. Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation explores a country or a city through food. It does not matter how strange the food may be Anthony will eat it from Super Panchos from Chile to eating raw eyeballs. He does not only focus on food although that is his favorite part he also explores drinking culture and the practices of the locals in the area that he visits. Another dare devil with foods is Andrew Zimmern who seeks out the strangest customs and traditions within the food culture no matter how out of date. He is often caught eating organs or live baby octopus while the legs stick to his face, either way he is up to finding the strangest and most usual cuisine around the world.
