S2E1 Cambodia

May 09, 2011 Season 2 Episode 1 Reality, Documentary

Gordon ventures off the usual path to explore Cambodia, a nation that has rebuilt itself after the devastation of the Khmer Rouge and civil war. Today, the country is on the mend, and its culinary scene is thriving. He searches for traditional recipes that date back before the Khmer Rouge era. Using a helicopter, he flies deep into the jungle, where he uncovers a dessert worthy of fine dining. Embracing his inner hunter-gatherer, he wades through snake-infested waters in pursuit of a local favorite—frog—and sets out to find Cambodia's most unusual treat—tarantula!
