In her bi-weekly column "Dr. Geek", CarrieLynn Reinhard examines how TV series such as Bizarre Foods and No Reservations are helping to spur a "foodie" culture/movement and change perceptions of just what makes for a good meal.
From the article, "Two big names really stick out for having television shows that showcase the food of cultures from around the world — including those in the backyard of our 50 states. Anthony Bourdain (fellow brony) and Andrew Zimmern have had popular series that, while taking different approaches, both followed the foodie mentality and morality of being open to learning about other cultures by sampling their cuisine — even if it is not something you have ever seen and have that kneejerk, gut reaction to not put anywhere near your mouth."
