While we're on the theme of food, I've decide to publish a Re-Post from 2008.
When I'm not behind a desk pushing keys and juggling edits, you can find me behind a camera at some of the weirdest places on earth. Take for instance, my experience shooting with the crew of DEPARTURES, a travel show produced by former college roommate and dumb-ass extraordinaire, Steveee White-Boy Bray.(Yes, that is his real name).
Steve's Synopsis of the Show:
Aimed at the adventure seeker, Departures is an action-packed and personal journey about two travelers. Scott Wilson and Justin Lukach leave their lives behind in search of unique experiences through some of the most beautiful and remote places on earth. From epic landscapes and unforgettable culture, to the often trying times that come with international travel, the series chronicles the unforgettable friendships, personal successes and sometimes crushing disappointments that befall them on their journey. Departures showcases the revelations of two travelers who strive to find themselves and new perspectives while trekking across the globe.
Ron's Synopsis of the Show (In five words):
Where The 'F' am I?
Departures is as much about the journey as it is the destination. No prizes, no contests, just real life and real travel. As a former classmate of Justin, Scott, shooter Andre, and producer Steve, my work and experiences with them are truly life changing--to say the least, as you soon will see.
From riding backwards on a donkey to eating snakes and grasshoppers, this lens toting traveler can honestly say he's done some pretty stupid stuff. And sometimes, when we're just having fun, the camera turns to the crew. So, without further adieu, starring yours truly, below are two outtakes from the episode we shot in Cambodia.
Please do not try this at home....for real...I'm serious!
You can catch the show on Outdoor Life Network in Canada and on National Geographic in 45 countries around the world.

How fun!
I'm kinda jealous of you, but not, because I think I'd be too chicken to leave my comfort zone. So, I will live vicariously through you...
:)
Food is one of the greatest pleasures in life, if not the greatest, so why spoil it by eating weird things? It's hardly a neccessary experience.
I loved Cambodia, but can't say that I missed out on too much by not trying the baby duck egg. Did you try snake meat when you were there?
P.S. I used to think that I had the greatest job in the world, but now I think that you do. How did you get to be so lucky?
Also, is it true that your current location is Midland, Michigan? If so, that's really funny because I grew up and just inherited a house in Sanford.
Cheers,
jessie
Ron,
You eat Balut in the dark, not broad daylight! You gotta eat in the dark so you don't see the aborted duck fetus. Hahaha.
I give you props for eating balut with your eyes open.
I tried balut just once and I never again touched it.
I don't feel so good...
I was in danger of hurling *lol*
What exactly did that duck egg taste like?
I think I just threw up in my mouth!
Ugh! Good on ya, but my word...
