They try other hosts to their credit and the Indian host was fun but I usually skip when they do other countries and new hosts now. They're milking the hell out of this with Harry and Joe and I am all for it. Seeing these two banter and riff off each other is why we are here, at least why I am. These two shooting the shit during food tours is high quality stuff.
