It’s no surprise that San Francisco was chosen as the location for an episode of the Travel Channel show Bizarre Foods. With all the interesting and weird stuff happening here, there’s a lot to highlight. The program featuring our fair city aired yesterday, and you can find some preview clips here. I recommend watching the first of the top five experiences host Andrew Zimmern had while in town.
I was particularly excited about the local spotlight because it features my good friend Rosanna Yau. She runs Minilivestock, an organization that encourages bug eating, or entomophagy. The episode also mentions groups and activities that we’ve covered through our backstories at The Bold Italic.
I was compelled to do a little mashup with clips and photos from Bizarre Foods and Bold Italic stories. Hopefully you’ll find it useful.
If you missed the full episode and don’t have cable (like me!) you can download it from iTunes for $1.99 — so worth it.
Relates to our backstory Taco Belle featuring food trucks: El Tonayense, San Buena, La Palma.
Scavenging for food is featured in Free Falling, which talks about Food not Bombs and Free Farm Stand.
