Despite its name, "Bizarre Foods America" is not really about Zimmern eating weird food. The show is Zimmern's way of exploring a city through its food culture. That means there's room for the the upscale glossiness of Woodberry Kitchen, where Zimmern and his crew spent hours with Spike Gjerde's crew as they prepared for dinner service. (Kenneth K.

The "Bizarre Foods America with Andrew Zimmern" episode featuring Baltimore will air on Monday, March 25 at 9 p.m. on the Travel Channel.
Here is the episode synopsis from the Travel Channel:
"There's a long line of tradition on the menu when Andrew Zimmern visits Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay. From learning how to skin a muskrat from a local champion, to hauling in pots of fresh eels, to selling produce from a horse-drawn carriage, Zimmern puts in some hard work to get a taste of this part of Maryland. Steamed blue crabs, fresh grilled eel, Korean blood sausage, and barbecued muskrat are just a few of the tasty treats Zimmern gets to try!"
Zimmern came to Baltimore last June with the crew of "Bizarre Foods America," the domestic version of his long-running travelogue series. Zimmern Tweeted out a steady diary of his visit to Baltimore and the Eastern Shore, and openly discussed his itinerary with the local press.
