Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern-San Francisco Episode

San Francisco certainly has a reputation for being different, but bizarre? Only if you find dumpster-diving, foie gras ice cream, or bugs for dinner bizarre. Around here we tend to think of these things as simply unusual, and not necessarily too weird to try.

Some of San Francisco's strangest eatables were featured on Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern on March 1st. While this episode doesn't reflect the typical eating habits of most locals, it does give a nice overview of the creative, inventive, and yes maybe even a little bizarre, foodie subcultures that thrive in this unconventional city.

You can read Andrew Zimmern's blog entry on San Francisco here. Below is a short trailer showing Andrew's experience with SF's gourmet food trucks.

Try to catch a rerun of this episode if you missed it the first time. The variety of perspectives it offers does a good job of highlighting the diversity of San Franciscans, plus it might inspire you to try something new. Prosciutto ice cream......mmmmmm.

Why?

This blog aims to give tourists, newbies, and expats alike a sense of what this town is really about, in the hopes that they too can appreciate this unique place that I call home. Part of this goal is educating the uninitiated in the ways of the native San Franciscan which, admittedly, can be a rather illusive and contradictory creature. Yes we pride ourselves on being progressive but will fight tooth-and-nail over the smallest change. We also love diversity and yet have little tolerance for those who don't share our values.

Once you get over our quirks, however, you are likely to find an open and laid-back community that is always willing to share the joys of this great city with those who were not lucky enough to have been born here. That is, of course, as long as you follow the countless unwritten rules of San Francisco etiquette, the first of which is...Don't Call It Frisco!
