“[I think it’s] the shows that forced me to realize how wrong I am about things, or how little I know about things, that challenge my expectations. Saudi Arabia was an eye-opener, and certainly Beirut. Nicaragua, too. The tougher shows [are] where suddenly it’s not just about what people are eating, but what they’re not eating. Shows where I was confronted with my own spectacular ignorance—those are the ones that make the biggest impression on me and are the most pleasurable.”
