This show has promise just as the amazing show Somebody Feed Phil has promise. Only, unlike Phil, Ainsley is just not a lovable guy. This show doesn't live up to its potential because Ainsley goes on a search for street food with the uptight snobbery of a 5 Star chef in a big city. He is quick to insult the workers (on tv I might add) thus giving them bad press for their generosity. Likewise, he tends to constantly customize the dishes to his own creation and then feed his renditions to the shop owners in a sense that implies he can do the traditional foods better than the ones within the cultures he visits. The food is the only reason to watch, but I would suggest watching Somebody Feed Phil instead.
