Glutton for Punishment

Genre: Cooking, Travel

Premise: Host Bob Blumer is up for pretty much any challenge (some may even say he's a glutton for punishment), sometimes traveling long distances to try his hand in an oyster-shucking contest or to master the knife-juggling art of a Benihana chef in this offbeat hybrid show aimed at armchair travelers, sports buffs and passionate foodies. Some of the more-unique challenges Blumer undertakes are watermelon seed-spitting contest and competing against elite engineering students in an edible-car competition.
