i've found that i really enjoy documenting journeys of any kind...whether it's through the pastry program i'm in or the road to culinary school. but i was surprised to find my excitement at documenting "weird eats". i'm a fan of andrew zimmern's bizarre food adventures on the travel channel...and though i know i could never replicate the breadth and depth of his experience, i do like to think of myself as a fairly adventurous eater.
you've read about the "monster" experience, stay tuned for more exploratories in the exotic, the odd, and the downright scary. this will be a test for me as well, because there are certain things i've said i'd never try (like much of the dried fish product in chinatown nyc) but now i'm second guessing that decision given the stakes have been raised.
it feels good to test the limits...but be sure to pack some tums and some benadryl.
a fabulous premise for an exciting blog!
