in the US. The first season began on Monday, February 6, 2007, at 9pm ET/PT. ''Bizarre Foods'' focuses on regional cuisine from around the world which is typically perceived as being disgusting, exotic or bizarre. In each episode, Zimmern focuses on the cuisine of a particular country or region. He typically shows how the food is procured, where it is served and, usually without hesitation, eats it. Originally a one-hour documentary titled ''Bizarre Foods of Asia'', repeated showings on the Travel Channel drew consistent, considerable audiences. In late 2006, TLC decided to turn the documentary into a weekly, one-hour show with the same premise and with Zimmern as the host. In 2009, Zimmern took a break from ''Bizarre Foods'' to work on one season of the spin-off '' Bizarre World''.
