I was gonna say the same thing...i haven't watched the show in a few years but thought it was funny that of all the bizarre things I have seen him eat the one he couldn't handle was a fruit. I assumed that video was already on here but I could not find it...so here it is.

His second least favorite is Durian, then perhaps stinky tofu his third lol

Sounds like he's suffering from some sort of Food Aversion to walnuts. Maybe ate them when he was sick.


My list is 1) cheesecake and 2) ceaser salad. Not because I ate them when I was sick, but I ate so much of them and then got sick.

It's an acquired scent, but definitely tastes much differently than it smells and does taste pretty delectable. Shakes are pretty tasty but nothing beats the raw fruit. (Just don't overindulge; it's very high in fat.)

I think there's just a gene in some people that smell and taste it worse (sort of how the smell of asparagus pee cannot be detected by people missing a certain gene). It's pretty unbelievable that Andrew Zimmern of the show Bizarre Foods on Travel Channel, who has eaten every strange and disgusting thing on earth, cannot stomach the taste of durian.

I've actually seen parts of this kitchen on Andrew Zimmern's show once. Looked more like a laboratory than an actual kitchen.

Food looked very odd, and portions incredibly small. If you like comfort food and comfort atmosphere, you wouldn't like this place.

They're known for cutting-edge skills and wall-breaking innovation, but personally I wouldn't consider it 'number one restaurant' in any ways. After all, it has to be a restaurant first.
