Travel and taste buds collide this week on MatadorTV.
Food is such an intimate component of travel that it’s no wonder there are a wealth of travel videos that celebrate food in all its forms.

This week I trawl the Pike Place Market to ask folks ~ “What is the strangest food you have ever eaten?”

PLEASE JOIN ME IN WELCOMING ERIC WARREN AND LINDSAY CLARK TO THE MATADORTV TEAM

In our search for interns for MatadorTV I was impressed by the multitude of qualified and excited travel video ninjas. However, it was Lindsay and Eric that stood out as experienced, charismatic travelers.

Lindsay was one of STA’s travel interns, traveling around the globe and creating killer content with her characteristic charm. She has a YouTube channel chock-full travel videos and keeps her blog, Nomadderwhere.com, going full speed.

Eric Warren, aka Advenjunkie, has been a frequent contributor across the Matador Network and is one of our Montana destination experts. Eric is the model Matador Community member and when he is not snapping photos and shredding on his mountain bike, he blogs at Life’sfast.

TRAVEL VIDEO NINJA

This week’s Travel Video Ninja is Graham Styles whose Brainrotting travel series through Central and South America by motorbike was filmed and edited on the road. Graham’s sardonic wit, guerrilla tactics and persistence to capture his adventure set him apart in the dojo of travel video ninjas.

    Strangest food…..either live conch on the grill in Korea, or that sort of stew with cow hooves in Brazil…or grilled chicken hearts, maybe?

    So cool to see this video in the market – I walk my dog through there two or three times a day! Gotta try a piroshky, the line is always insanely long.

    Great vids! You really get out there, chatting with the public, making it happen. And that vest is dead sexy.

    Worst thing I’ve ever eaten? Surströmming (fermented Baltic herring).

    Strangest thing ingested: fresh pig kidney and pigeon ligaments.

    I feel like a pansy that I didn’t try fruit bat when I had the chance…

    Thanks for the shout-out, Josh! Looking forward to being a part of this!

    I could say dog soup or live octopus, but to be honest, the one that perplexes me the most was a mishmash of dirty pickled-in-a-kitchen-sink-drain-tasting “vegetables” served as part of a tabla in an Irish pub in Esquel, Argentina. That shit was strange, but might not have been food.

    Freshly caught, live conch (backbone) on a small fishing boat in Belize.

    I can’t even remember all the things in China…but I know the dog got me sick.
