Andrew Zimmern knows the best way to experience a new place is to follow the locals. With a cab driver in each city as his guide, he explores off-the-map dives and unique regional spots to find the true heart of a city.

Hyderabad, gateway to south India, is an ancient city with a modern mix of cultures. Following his cabbies' tips, Andrew learns how 400-year-old Sultan recipes mix with new flavors, tries Akhada wrestling and enjoys a family meal.
EPISODE 2
Rio de Janeiro
Three cabbies take Andrew to very different parts of Rio, and he experiences everything from a fun beachside sport to the positive side of a notorious favela. He also eats at a neighborhood institution and treks up Corcovado.
EPISODE 3
Bangkok
Andrew is learning from the locals in Bangkok with the help of two cab drivers. He'll meet a famous shoe designer, check out Bangkok's notorious nightlife, watch the art of Muay Thai fighting and visit a crocodile temple.
