After 3 years exploring the Americas, Europe and Asia, we just arrived in Africa for the first time. And even though we’re spending our entire 18-day trip in the country of South Africa, we really wanna get a taste of the cultures that span the continent. So to kick things off, we’re leaving Melrose Arch—one of the nicest neighborhoods in Johannesburg—and heading to Yeoville—one of the poorest. It may be notorious for its high levels of crime and poverty, but it also boasts a diverse pan-African culture that’ll provide an eclectic backdrop to our first real experience in the city.

This week we’re in the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, known as a mecca for soaring skyscrapers, big-budget Hollywood films, and one of the most colorful cultures we’ve encountered in the past 3 years. No place captures the flavor of that culture more than the streets of the city, so we’re braving the humidity, dodging the afternoon showers, and heading out in search of the top sites and bites.

From huge barbecued squid to tiny fried crabs, we’re about to devour another iconic Asian city. On our current trip’s last full day in Southeast Asia, we’re exploring the food, culture, and people of Indonesia at the annual, month-long Jakarta Fair. This IS the Indonesian capital AND the most populous island in the world, so we’re searching for the most highly-recommended sites and bites that represent the vibrant flavor profile of this captivating city. Let’s get to it.

Tokyo is home to some of the most fascinating spectacles in existence and one of those is here at Tsukiji: the largest fish market in the world. In the wee morning hours you can find individual tuna selling for as much as $3 million. But we’re not that hungry or that rich, so we’re in search of other delicacies, like the famous fugu fish, which, with a toxin 1000 times more deadly than cyanid, can kill you just by touch. Will our gastro-adventurous family risk eating it just for bragging rights?

After a few great days amongst the historic charm of Kyoto, we've traveled 50km southwest to the bustling Japanese metropolis of Osaka. Known as "Japan's Kitchen," it's no wonder this city's famous for its fantastic food scene. So we're tightening our shoelaces, loosening our waistbands and spending the entire day walking from bite to bite to see which parts live up to the hype.

We’re now halfway across the Pacific on the island of Oahu. It’s our first time here together but after Phil flew out last month to free dive with sharks for Reagan’s 16th birthday, we knew we had to bring the entire family back to see what makes this Hawaiian jewel such a treasure.

For the final stop in our 2-week tour of India, we're exploring the city of Dreams: Mumbai. er... Bombay? Anyway, we're wrapping our trip up here because it's unique combination of art, history, food, theater, and nightlife is said to be the metropolitan equivalent of the ultimate masala spice mix: it has a little bit of everything.

After our second trip to Southeast Asia and a quick jaunt to Hawaii to free dive with sharks for Reagan’s 16th birthday, we’re spending the next 2 weeks exploring the birthplace of chess, yoga, and four major religions: India.

As we continue making our way through Southeast Asia, we’re visiting Vietnam for the first time. Our first stop is Hanoi, where we were scheduled for an Old Quarter street food tour. Unfortunately, the tour guide canceled because of the Tet holiday and now Colt is sick…

After spending last night experiencing some very adventurous street foods on the busy streets of downtown Bangkok, we’re heading just outside of the city for a full day of authentic Thai culture. We’re also turning this excursion into a little impromptu scavenger hunt because there are 4 specific things we’re after: a souvenir Buddha for my high school friend, an oyster plucked straight from water and down the hatch, the freshest mango on earth, and some hungry primates to play with our little monkeys.

After just a couple of months away, we're now back in Southeast Asia, in what's a brand new city and country for us: Bangkok, Thailand. With big appetites and a little big of jet lag, we're kicking things off with a nighttime street food tour of the city's Chinatown. Live squid, dead scorpions, and a lot in between.

Today, we’re back in Florence, Italy and we’re meeting our past guide and current friend, Silvia Ponticelli, to give her a tour of our 600-year-old palazzo on the Arno river—and for her to walk us through the history of Florentine Fashion. Florence was named the most beautiful city in the world by Forbes magazine—we’re gonna show you why.

We’re still here in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, the hotspot that Travel and Leisure calls the best city in the world. Today, we’re taking you on a tour of some of the city’s top eateries. And if you’re expecting a standard collection of Mexican restaurants, you’re in for a tasty surprise. In a city that’s long been a haven for ex-pats—where about 1 out of 5 residents isn’t even Mexican—the food scene here is just as diverse. So, to truly experience the flavor of SMA means embracing the varied cuisines that help put this city on the global culinary map.

We’re still here in the best city in the world (according to Travel & Leisure) and part of what makes San Miguel so cool is its eclectic food scene. So we’re taking a little break from filming our upscale restaurant tour to search out the great eats that were most recommended by locals. These bites may not be as adventurous as some of the street foods we just tried in Cebu City, but they’re bound to be every bit as delicious.

By and large, the food we’ve encountered in the Philippines so far has been relatively tame. But that all changes today because we’re on a munching mission and Cebu City offers the most colorful collection of culinary kicks in the country. From fishballs to horse balls, blood to intestines, and eel babies to duck embryos.

Singapore is a relatively young city-state that’s about 74% Chinese, 14% Malay, and 9% Indian. That means they have no single official language and very little in the way of official national symbols. But because the culture of this area goes back at least a thousand years, the one thing you’ll find that is purely Singaporean is its food. And our family is out to sample the full range, from authentic food stalls to Michelin starred dishes.

In this episode, we’re back in the birthplace of the Renaissance: Florence, Italy. And we’ve hired a local guide to take us on a walking food tour around the place that Forbes calls the most beautiful city in the world.
