Eun Jeong and I are on Arirang Today, um, today. It’s a magazine show on Arirang TV. It’s a bit about the globalization of Korean food. Got a free meal out of it.

Free Bizarre Foods Episodes
Apple and The Travel Channel are running a promotion where you get free TV episodes on iTunes, called “Passport to Spring Break.”
I’m posting this because “Bizarre Foods” and “No Reservations” episodes are on there, and it’s another option for expats in Korea to get their TV fix.
In order to get it, you have to “Become a fan” of Apple Students at this link.
Then click the Travel Channel promotion on the left sidebar. You’ll need an iTunes account for this to work.
Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern in Korea
I asked if you could guess which celebrity chef was in Korea. One of you guessed correctly.
For a couple of weeks, Eun Jeong, a few valuable friends and I have been helping the production of “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” set up locations, food suggestions, research and on-air guides for their shoot in Korea. Eun Jeong herself, along with our friends Eun-hak and Daniel (Seoul Eats) got to be on the show eating “bizarre foods” (what we usually call “lunch”).
We can’t give away what’s going to be on the show yet, but I can say right now that it promises to be the best food show about Korea, even better than the Korea shows done by “The Thirsty Traveler” (“So, This is Soju“) and “Anthony Bourdain No Reservations.” Now, I think both those shows did well, so this is saying a lot.
The episode comes out on the Travel Channel sometime between December and February.
NOTE: For a comprehensive look at the episode, including behind-the-scenes stories, photos, restaurants and info about the foods, click here.
Guess Which Chef Is in Korea?
Been involved with hooking this show up with restaurants, guides and research and suggestions the past few weeks. If you read the other blogs, you know which show this is.
Can’t reveal much more until it airs. There will be some fun behind-the-scenes tales and tons of pics after it broadcasts.
Note to Jennifer L.: Yes, that’s your man on the right.
