Host seems quite ignorant on dining or wining, no idea what he brings to the program. Little charisma, poor presentation, not quite sure why he was selected to host the program.

He seems to have rather superficial food knowledge and his conversations add little for the viewer; seemingly even less knowledge on wine. For example, on a visit to Napa Valley, at quite an exclusive vineyard, host does not even know how to hold a wine glass and seem to not know the basics of wine tasting.

Program itself visits some interesting locations but seemed rushed, with average camera work. Not sure who the program is meant to appeal too, perhaps those very, very new and novice foodies?

The presenter has no charisma whatsoever (he looks like he works at an insurance company as financial analyst), shows no real knowledge of food and the overall format is flawed.

It's not clear why they only visit an area to have food for a couple of minutes, and then leave. We end up learning nothing of substance.

They invite completely uninteresting locals who tell us nothing. What is the positioning of this show?
