I saw that, and I don't think he's done a new "No Reservations" since then ....
There's another show on Travel Network, "Bizarre Foods." Guy named Andrew Zimmer travels around looking for the odd foodstuffs. He's eaten guinea pig among other things.... not I show I want to watch right after dinner.

My wife does that and I am Japanese American. She doesn't distinguish the two. And we won't even discuss people from the Kuril Islands or Okinawa (where an Uncle is from).

After that episode he did a return trip to moscow to exact revenge from Zamir for that beatdown massage he received in season one, then a season finale in los angeles.
The episode that ended season 2, when he was in lebanon when the fighting broke out...is a must see if you missed it.
And the show is back this summer!
And as if on cue...weird named food on sale!

Oh yeah, delicious!
Balut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A balut ( Trứng vịt lộn or Hột vịt lộn in Vietnamese, Pong tea khon in Cambodian) is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, baluts are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. They are often served with beer. The Filipino and Malay word balut(balot) roughly translates to mean "wrapped", though the Malays have never taken the word to mean "duck foetus".

Eh? Guess I saw them out of order then ... good to know he didn't have to recuperate from something nasty after that show.
I did see the Lebanon show .. seemed sort of surreal, didn't it?

Very. At the end of the day he's a pretty sharp guy...a smart alec wiseguy but sharp. It was interesting seeing someone who isnt a real news person and not used to what goes on in the middle east get rolled up in it, on film.
Sort of a cooking show turned amateur CNN reel turned blair witch project...

How and where we ate balut
It's best to eat it with your eyes closed or in the dark. 
I didn't eat very many balut's but it was a popular snack in the Philippines. My mom would ask the street peddler for the ones with not very-developed chick fetuses. I would mostly eat the yolk and the white parts as a young child but could eat the whole thing when I was older. I haven't had it now for over 20 years.
People in Manila would sneak in snacks like balut into the movie-house. I believe anything was fair game as far as snacks ("baon") in those dark air-conditioned places. (A/C was a rarety and a luxury then.) We'd be watching a movie in the movie theater and we'd suddenly be hit by the aroma of balut or unripe mango and shrimp paste, siopao (pork/chicken dumplings), tamarind candy, pork rinds and vinegar, dried fish, dried squid, hopia (sweet-bean buns), etc.
