1,000 Ways to Dine

Food lovers know that the best dining experiences are supposed to stimulate all the senses. In this episode, host Michael Yo takes viewers on five mind blowing dining adventures that push the limits of imagination and exceed all culinary expectations! From a Texas restaurant kitchen with more gear than a NASA lab, to a New York City eatery that serves blindfolds with your drinks, a mysterious multi-course meal with no way out, a Chicago menu that will make you feel like a kid again, and a 50-course mind-blowing culinary performance served with a side of social commentary.

Sometimes the best meals are kept locked behind closed doors, but in this episode host Michael Yo has the keys to some of the most special and secret dining spaces around. Follow Michael's lead and you might just get into a New Mexico speakeasy fit for even the slyest of gangsters or a pawn shop in San Francisco where the valuables are the tapas. Head to Brazil for an intimate five course dinner in a chef's home, Washington. D.C. for an underground tasting menu, and finally to Hollywood, where if you manage to score a coveted invitation, you'll experience pure magic, both on and off the dinner table.

Dining without cell service might be too much for some people, but for anyone wanting to unleash their "wild side," join host Michael Yo for a journey to some "far out" places to eat. Snowshoe through the backwoods for bison and duck, duck, goose; climb to the treetops of Costa Rica for local fare and coffee on a steak medium rare. Swing on over to the jungle in Mexico for some medicinal Mayan classics, hop on a camel for a ride through the deserts of Dubai for a romantic dinner for two, and take a swim to Aruba for the freshest seafood... on the table and at your feet.

Is this place really a restaurant? Tune is as host Michael Yo takes us to places set to satisfy the palate, while also challenging the definition of a dining experience. Our first stop is at a sushi bar-slash-game show in an NYC eatery that also doubles as a speakeasy. Next, journey to Argentina for dinner in an authentic NYC subway before jetting off to a pub in Texas where patrons can clean their plates... and their laundry! Then a trip to Thailand for the chance to share your table with 10,000 carp, before a final visit to Taipei eatery where the spaghetti flows from a toilet bowl?!
