Great show, each episode dives into a different theme (burgers, Hot dogs, Ice cream,...), it goes back to where it was created, explains the names and how did it happen.

It shows you the best of, the most expensive, the weirdest in every episode. It's good value for money, over 400+ minutes of material.

Bought this as a birthday present for my brother and he was stoked to receive it. All episodes are included, inside the cover is a brief description of each episode and is a delight to watch.

This 2-DVD set contains 10 seperate segments (over)focusing on a particular food item or location. The first DVD contains segments on Steak, Fried Foods, Burgers, Pizzas, and Hot Dogs. The second disc features segments on Diners, Ice Cream, BBQ, Donuts, and Buffets. Each segment is about 45 minutes.

The segments tend to be light and whimsical. Everyone here is a foodie and the ultimate gluton. Places visited vary from mundane to completely outrageous. For example, in the ice cream segment, there is an ice cream parlor in NY called Serendipity 3 that sells a $1000 sundae! You must reserve ahead 48 hours to enjoy this gold laden sundae(called the GOLDEN OPULANCE SUNDAE).

There's a diner in Baltimore called the Paper Moon that features old cartoon toys as decoration, kinda like walking thru Toontown while have a pork chop. There's a beef restaurant in Denver called the Buckhorn Exchange that sells Beef Testicles. You can get deep fried chocolate at Chip Shop in Brooklyn.

Try BBQ Spaghetti at Interstate BBQ in Lockhart, TX. How about a Brazilian meat carving buffet in Glendale, Ca. Also, some bacon donuts in Portland at the Vodoo Donut. I tend to enjoy watching these light-hearted shows about food(porn) with people over-indulging. Fun and entertaining.

great DVD of some great shows. I am glad to see this on DVD. this way I don't tie up storage on my HD it plays well and seems to be a good recording.

We spent a bitter cold News Years Eve & day watching these. It was extremely interesting and most entertaining, although it often made us hungry! The only negative thing I noticed was that it was a bit polarized. Most of what was reviewed was on the East or West coast or the Gulf states. They visited Chicago for pizza, which was a must, and Tennessee & the Carolina's for Barbecue.
If you are interested in the diversity of the US and it's different cuisines, you will love this video. No gross food here. All in all it was a great buy, especially for a foodie.
