Hey Andrew, Just wanted to stop by and let you know that we watch your show every Monday! We actually look forward to it, and half of the things you eat, we would try too! Thanks for giving us information about Bizarre places and Bizarra Foods! We Love you!

hello andrew, I have a question for you. Do yo remember that episode where you went to Taipei and you were in the herbal store with steven. You pulled out a pack of medicine you said it was good for the lungs...Please supply me with the name of the store or Steven's phone #. I would like to go to taipei and buyg that medicine. Thanks

Hello Andrew,
I enjoy your show. On your 10/01/07 episode you remarked that you use pepto bismal "to quiet your stomach". I don't have your your exotic tastes but, I too had to rely on pepto bismal, until I discovered this wonderful water technology from Japan. This is not a water filter. The water from this machine will give your stomach relief in 10 minutes. It is anti-acid and an anti-oxidant. Please examine my website:
ph.yourbodyiswater.info. This technology is 34 years old, and now global. Thank you.

Hey, Andrew. You are so brave, eat so much bizarre food. Have you ever got sick?

Mr. Z, what a great show. I am a 26 yr. social work vetran but build houses on the side.I have 6 children, all grown but one. I have found my only creative side to be cooking.
My wife asked my, after watching "The bucket List" what I would do? I could only think to travel the world and eat the worlds foods. ( to experience )
If ever in Toledo, Ohio, it would be my family's pleasure to give you a tast of soul food like you have never had before.
Keep up the good work, you truly have the best job!

Andrew I watch this show every week and I also watch the reruns. You explain the cultures and taste of the world and all the places I don't have the privilidge. Thank you for teaching me about the world outside my own. Keep traveling Ill keep watching wishing I was there tasting the food and seeing the beauty of the land. Kris H.

Andrew, Thank you so much for providing true entertainment in television today. I am a huge food fanatic and I really enjoy watching your show. I have been a food network viewer for a long time, but you have any one of their "personalities" beat hands down. I am traveling to Beijing and Shanghai China in a couple of months and I am looking forward to your adventures and reviews there. Keep up the great work, I am a true fan!

Hello: Hey you should go to Napal ,they great brownies straight from the cows butt ,you should try to eat some . !They do that all the time , That would fix you ! thankyou! BobthHunn

Dear Andrew, I think your Beijing Show was excellent. It rocks !! I jump up and down and called all my friends to watch it with me.

My questions are:
1. How do you get to know those places ? friends ? travel officials ? or just heard from somewhere?
2. Did you really used the herbal you get from the drug store ?
3. Do you need a volunteer for your future show? I would love to volunteer me to go with you sometime.
:-D

Also, the Chinese lady went with you on the male organ resturant she didn't look like enjoy the food much... well, it was origninally wasn't designed for woman... I think it can be added with some more impressive medical info and stories on it.

Really enjoy your show !
Please keep it up ! You rock on what you do!

Hey Andrew, I love watching your show, even the reruns! I am of Asian decent and i cant believe some of the things you eat, pretty impressive =]
but one of the things i was suprised you wouldnt eat was the "forbidden" fruit durian. I am an ABC (American born Chinese) but my parents were from out of the country so they are very informed of exotic asian foods. At a young age, my parents forced me to eat some durian and my initial reaction as most people's are was instant rejection. But then after I was forced a couple more times, I finally ate some and the disgusting looking fruit was pretty good tasting. After the pleasant taste, the horrible smell turned into a pleasant scent. One big difference between my first experience and yours was that I ate frozen and defrosted durian. The one you ate in malaysia was most likely fresh. I know there is a big difference because I have eaten both and fresh durian is much more bitter and the taste is much different because it is warm. I personally like frozen durian alot more. I really hope that you would give durian a second chance because you are really missing out on a delicious fruit. One last thing. One of my favorite ways to eat durian is to blend it with ice cream. durian flavored ice cream is crazy good! Also, there are a lot of Vietnamese restaurants or other kinds of Vietnamese snack stores who sell Durian bubble tea/milkshakes which is one of my favorite drinks. Either that or u can throw some frozen durian, some ice, and some milk into a blender and youve made urself one. As one of your fans, I have great respect for what you do and the king of food should not have to miss out on such a delicious fruit. I kno this is kind of long, but the durian will be worth it =] thanks alot for reading and keep up the good work with your shows.

Hello Andrew, just wanted to say I enjoy your show very much. I thought it would be nasty, but it's not. Very enjoyable and some things I would like to try. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next show on Monday.

Hi Andrew,
I think your show is fabulous and I won't be surprised when you get a cult following, following you around the world eating those bizarre foods! I've been particularly inspired by your Vietnam and Beijing episodes. I only wish you can invite a fan to go on one of your episodes! Come to California, I promise to find you something bizarre to eat!!

hi andrew u should go to nepal

Hi Andrew! My husband and I have watched all your shows and enjoy them so much!We saw your show last night about Russia and we REALLY liked it, so informative!!!! Thanks!!

Hi Andrew,

Thanks so much for your show. What a treat. I had to laugh watching you spit out the durian last night. I first encountered the weird fruit on a trip to Malaysia at age 15. You could smell them a block away. Why anyone would ever eat one, aside from avoiding the Donner Party thing, is beyond me. The smell alone . . . Well, thanks for the show again. I love it.

Hi Andrew,

My husband and I are avid patrons of you and your show. I was extremely excited to discover that you traveled to my hometown Delhi, India. I couldn't resist taking a peek of your travels on the website. Knowing well that you would definitely visit some of my fav. joints. I have to admit that I was rather disappointed to read that you ended up at Jawahar's and not Karims at Jama Masjid. In my opinion, Karims is the most authentic and delicious version of the mughal dynasty heritage left in Delhi. I pretty much can cook most Indian cuisines with the exception of Karims. Which, I most crave for and end up visiting every year we go back. Hope you get a chance to try it one day.

Thanks for listening.

Hi Andrew - love your show....have you ever heard of Wurchwitzer Spinnenkaese? It's a cheese made in the town of Wurchwitz, Germany....and cheese mites are instrumental in the process. The cheese is eaten at the yearly cheese festival - with the mites as well! See more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milbenk%C3%A4se

I would love to try this someday - but if you get there first - I'd love to watch on your show! Best Regards, George

hey Andrew
i love your show. its my favorite of all times. i have a question. I heard that in Cambodia, they eat dogs-is that true? and if it is, when would you do a show about Cambodia. i am very curious.

keep grossing us out!

Hi Andrew,
Just wanted to let you know that you and your team are doing a great job. I really love your show. It is very enlightening and very informative. I love the fact that you are very down to earth and are willing to try different types of food. Thank you for visiting my country, the Philippines. I would have given anything just to have witnessed you eat balut! It's my favorite. I always look forward to hearing you say descriptions such as "nutty taste" or "game-y" or the "textural contrast"...You are adorable and me and my friends love you!!!!!
More power to your show....
