Feasting on Asphalt is a television series starring Alton Brown of the Food Network programs Good Eats and Iron Chef America.

In the first two seasons, Brown and his crew seek "good eats" across the country, via Brown's BMW motorcycle. "As far as I’m concerned, there’s no better way to experience the road than from the back of a bike," says Brown.

star 4.2Of all the remarkable events of this century perhaps the most fascinating has been the spontaneous growth, flowering and then decay of a handful of great cities. These cities were places where art, culture and political liberties co-mingled with corruption, brutality and decadence. Everything and just about anyone could be bought and sold. The immigrant would struggle beside the artist. Gamblers, thieves and prostitutes co-habited with soul-savers, the rich and the powerful. The exhilarating combination of the seamy with the sublime made these places a magnet for all the lost souls and refugees of the world. Pushing the limits of tolerance and freedom, they defined the social, political and sexual culture of the 20th century. Their names ring out: Paris of the '20s, Berlin of the '20s and '30s and Shanghai of the '30s.Människans lustgårdar

2012
The Silk Road, a road full of legends, has made many contributions to the progress of human civilization and created a group of Silk Road figures who overcame numerous difficulties and obstacles with courage and perseverance, and have been passed down through the ages. Their goals may not be the same, envoys for peace, soldiers for war, monks for truth, merchants for profit, but they all have to go through the test of long journeys to achieve their goals. It is because of their perseverance that they can leave behind stories that have been passed down through the ages, and that the Silk Road, which has declined, is still desirable and fascinating today.Shakespeare In Italy
