This was the first in a line of Travel Channel spots I worked on in conjunction with Moroch and Brody Howard. In this package, Andrew Zimmern, host of Bizare Foods ate Guinea Pigs, Meal Worms, and Cow Heart (from a vending machine.) That made lunches each day pale in comparison.
BTW, this spot contains the infamous, if you've heard me tell the story, "Head to Butt" fix. I hope you don't see it, but ask me about it sometime.

Andrew looked super anxious to eat a guinea pig. Mustard and saurkraut would be my choice too.
In a bit a of movie making magic, rabbits stood in for guinea pigs in this spot. That did not keep Andrew from biting the face right off of his lunch.
"What's wrong with saurkraut?"
This is the head to butt shot.
