- Destinations Impossible
E6Destinations ImpossibleHost Michael Yo introduces viewers to dining destinations deemed impossible--but also, delicious! First up, a trip to Thailand to sip high tea in a high tree before jetting off to sample the world's largest prawns at a restaurant balanced on a rock off the coast of Zanzibar. - Mindbending Meals
E7Mindbending MealsGet your head on straight and get ready for host Michael Yo's brain bending journey to five restaurants that are meant to play tricks on your mind. Have an "A-Ha" moment- and a donut- inside a black and white comic book world in Chicago. Step inside a funky forest in Tokyo and watch your food grow right before your eyes, then journey back to reality in the fantasy world of Las Vegas at a "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea " themed tasting. - Lost in America
E8Lost in AmericaGrab your map and appetite, as host Michael Yo sets his sights on the best-off road eats worth the extra mile. Buckle up as we hit the backroads for bison burgers in Alabama to brussel sprouts behind bars in Connecticut. Then it's American fare - with a fun twist - on a grounded airplane in Colorado. And nothing rounds out an American road trip like a two pound hot dog served in a broken down bus, but make sure there's still some gas in the tank to make it to Pie-Town, Arizona for dessert! - Food to Die ForE9
Food to Die ForDining out can be risky business at these five restaurants where life-or-death stakes are served up daily. Host Michael Yo tags along as diners test their fate with a toxic pufferfish in Tokyo before biding time with a potentially poisonous pokeberry-forward multi-course menu in North Carolina. Then it's off to Portland, Oregon for the hottest heat a diner can handle. - Small Space Big TasteE10
Small Space Big TasteThey say big things come in small packages and in this episode host Michael Yo discovers that similarly, big flavors can come in small dining spaces. Squeeze into a four-table pancake house in Amsterdam, shoehorn into an oyster bar in a NYC brownstone, elbow into a ramen shop in Manhattan where you eat in solo dining booths, slide into a hidden hotel suite in Chicago where sushi is served for only six people, and cram into an eight-foot-wide fine dining restaurant in Argentina. - Tables of TerrorE11
Tables of TerrorThe restaurants in this episode might lean a little scary, but they also serve up food that's scary good! Join host Michael Yo on a visit to a Tokyo restaurant dedicated to vampires. Then it's off to Portland for a meal at the former home of a mad scientist before heading to St. Louis for a taco restaurant that pays homage to horror films, death metal music, and vegan food. - Bites of FantasyE12
Bites of FantasyDining out takes flight into the world of fantasy when host Michael Yo shows us that make-believe experiences can be really tasty. First stop is a restaurant in New York City's Financial District where even the drinks grow on trees - with one wave of a magic wand! Then it's across the pond to London for a creative culinary fairy tale.
