Wine vs. Food. My very own show

This past weekend I had a blast filming my very own show called "Wine vs. Food." If you have ever watched "Man vs. Food" or "Man vs. Wild" then you get the idea.

The way I would like to describe it is imagine trying a mouthful of beautifully steamed chicken feet with a glass of California Chardonnay OR a plate of roast pork over rice with Australia's best Shiraz.

Many people ask me where I got the concept behind this idea and do I actually think it will work. I think there's going to be a lot of "depends" on this or that, but I'm feeling quite confident because we're producing really good and fun content that will put a smile of peoples' faces.

Right above you'll see a pic of the production crew getting their huddle on before 15+ judges and 2 challengers come join me on Wine vs. Food. The concept behind the show is that in China there are more and more wine drinkers, but traditional literature mostly covers wine pairings with western foods like pasta and steak. But in China where we eat noodles, rice, creatures that Americans find adorable and etc, there aren't many good options or at least pointers on wine and chinese food pairings. Wine vs. Food aims to fill this gap and to do it in the most outrageous way possible!

So we thought, why not create a show where we travel on location to a food market, order some local foods, and then challenge 2 wine experts to pair their wines with our foods. Moreover, we would invite everyday people who live in the area (in our case HK) and have them judge for themselves. What we ended up with was a whole bunch of laughs, red faces (from all the mixing and trying of wines), a judge having to eat pigeon head (as a consequence of losing the challenge), and a very good first episode to come.

Stay tuned ya'll. I'm editing with the production team as we speak. Should have something out by December 13th, 2010. If you like it -- hope you can also "like" it on facebook to show the world!
