Food Network: Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Most serious foodies have played the game where you beat the other person by describing the most exotic thing you've eaten. Try to beat Jeff Corwin. You're kids know him from his popular wildlife shows on Animal Planet – and now you will too. The Food Network has signed Jeff up to an eight-episode show called Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin that will launch this fall. You may have already caught Jeff's one-hour primetime special also called Extreme Cuisine with Jeff Corwin. That episode was all about Thailand and aired February 21, 2009. This is how The Food Network described it: The adventures begin in Bangkok where Jeff veers off the beaten path for an unusual feast of locusts, grasshoppers and shrimp that literally "dance" into his mouth. Then, he hikes north to a remote mountain region where the indigenous people introduce astonishing delicacies of wasp larvae cut straight from the trees. Jeff will be covering cuisine in Southern Mexico (Yucatan/Oaxaca), Morocco and Greece. Having watched Jeff on The Jeff Corwin Experience, Super Chef knows that there will be an enviromental message behind the munchies. Sounds like a show for the after-school gang and their parents. What better way to get children to eat tame chicken and domesticated broccoli then to watch a naturalist and adventurer eat crunchy grubs or bloody cockles?
