Is it just me, or is the Travel Channel completely worthless?
How many times can one watch World's Best Places to Pig Out, Man vs Food, Extreme Bathrooms or Barbecue Wars? ...... It's such a wasted opportunity.

7. I'd rather eat weird crap than go anywhere with Samantha Brown

Maybe it's me, but I find her to be tremendously shallow.

5. Very tired of Adam Richman
going to every silly restaurant eating challenge in the country.

I love finding and eating at the odd diner but I have NO DESIRE to see every single show about them from morning to night.

I want more travelogues to different places on the globe, not yet one more "undiscovered" spot in the US.

Why isn't anybody replicating Globetrekker? Now, that's a travel show.

8. Bourdain is a good mix

I've gotten to the point where eating is among the top reasons to travel, and Bourdain does both.
