I'm about his age (no Brazilian martial-arts wife), retired. Got the time, the money, the miles. No TV show.

Travelling for me, food is my sole interest. I want a guide like he has, some local expert on the best pho restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City, or the best crickets in Zhengdu. That covers the restaurants.

Without having my own show, that will be challenging enough.

But the real holy grail is to get invited into people's homes for the traditional feasts he shares. Fresh-caught barnacles in the Azores, a pig roast in Kentucky. How can I make this happen without cameras rolling? Or do I need to have a fake production team, Argo style? I'll do what it takes. But what exactly will it take?

That's my dream -- travel here, there, everywhere, to eat and drink like my hero.

Suggestion?
Bring 'em!
