I probably didn't give this series a proper chance but who wants to watch a food and travel series hosted by a novice who won't eat raw food and spits out raw oysters?
He seems to be too American (and I'm American) because he is too picky and uncomfortable with foreign, unknown environments.
He didn't appear to be well-cultured... he was asked to dinner by a famous actress and didn't even bring her flowers!
Pass on this! Give me Anthony Bourdain any day!
