Back when A Cook's Tour was on Food Network, there was a British (or Australian) guy who came on either before or after it who also did a show similar to Andrew Zimmern's. It's entirely possible you're thinking of him. No idea what his name was or if he had much fame after that.

Ok, let me fix the last post. He was nominated for an Emmy for his Beirut episode because it documented their experience when the Israel-Lebanon conflict happened in 2006. They were filming when the conflict broke out.
No Reservations, season 2, episode 13.
He officially won an Emmy for his Haiti episode about 5 years later.
No Reservations, season 7, episode 1.

No it was Zimmerman , and it was the Travel Channel just thought it was the Food Network for some reason that those shows aired on and I just didnt associate it with the Travel Channel as back then I watched a ton of Food Network shit , like Chopped and Iron Chef and that Alton Brown dude and the various other cooking shows.
I've been a big fan of Anthony Bourdain for the last 5 or 6 years. I've seen a few of his shows over the years, but I wasn't a regular viewer until now. Netflix has the first two seasons of Parts Unknown, and they just added a single season of No Reservations within the last week or two, which I'm watching right now (The Azores).
The great thing about his shows is that it isn't only about cooking and food. That's like a third of the show, but the other two-thirds is culture and politics, and he talks to people of all stripes; poor, rich, middle-class. Each episode gives you a very brief, but very insightful look into places you're likely to never visit.

Last night's episode was pretty great. All about The Bronx and the real origin of Hip Hop.
Yeah that show was literally just them taping their layovers between airports/filming episodes of No Reservations.

So I was browsing through Netflix and found a show called Bar Rescue; a show about a bar consultant who tries to turn around failing bars.
The first though I had when I saw and heard the host Jon Taffer was "Is that Bigfoot from Kitchen Confidential?"
Am I crazy?

It mainly seems like the "Death to America" and stuff is just from the government and the normal citizens just want peace and prosperity.
