In his show, cookbook author and culinary adventurer, Bob Blumer chases a wheel of cheese down an English hill, flips a world record number of pancakes and lives only on pints of Guinness for a whole week. Find out how goat farts can kill, what stinky cheese is worth dying for and ultimately, why Bob is such a Glutton for Punishment.
Why do you make it so hard for yourself? Why are you such a glutton for punishment?
Because it's way more exciting. Every time we do an episode, the crew and I meet interesting people and we're thrown into an environment that is really exciting and stimulating. We all have a great time. We work really hard but it is an amazing way to see the world.
What was the episode that had you wondering what the heck you were doing?
There are certain episodes were the possibility of dying actually exists like the Fugu episode [where Bob had to learn how to properly slice a poisonous blowfish and then eat its raw flesh]. I wasn't expecting the possibility of dying in the scuba diving episode [where Bob had to harvest the most number of sea urchins on a single tank of air] until it happened. It never really occurred to me. And here is goat flatulence [during a Pennsylvania goat milking competition]–that can be dangerous too.
