Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels

If you enjoy Rachael Ray and her Food Network adventures, then "Tasty Travels" will go down easy. It does kind of feel like "$40 a Day" rehashed and if you've watched all or most of that show, then this one will probably feel overly familiar. On the plus side, Ray is a congenial host, the kind of person you'd want to guide you around a strange city. I actually prefer "Tasty Travels" because Ray is freed from having to seek out the lowest-price alternatives to meet a forty-dollar budget; sometimes it pays to spend a little more... (and although Ray seems like a good egg in real life, the tips she is forced to leave on "$40 a Day" are a little skimpy). So "Tasty Travels" is not exactly revolutionary television, but it is a cute, easygoing travelogue.
