Food Channel or Travel Network?
No the title is not a mistake. It was intentionally done. A good friend of mine recently pointed out that the Travel Channel has seemingly become the Food Network with all of their food related programming. Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, Man VS Food, Food Paradises, Food Wars, I think that's all the food related programming that they serve up [no pun intended]. That's a lot for what's supposed to be a channel about travel! Granted, you need to travel to these places to eat, but still I think there's a little too much focus on the food. I know that Keith Famie (best known for being a contestant on Survivor and lesser known for his short lived show Keith Famie's Adventures, which was shown on Food Network) says "you haven't really been there until you've eaten the food" but there is definitely more to a place than just eating! So the question is really, what's with the Travel Channel encroaching into the Food Network's space? Maybe the Food Network should start traveling to difference places and reviewing the non edible attractions!
