Comedian Zane Lamprey hosts a humorous trip around the world, sampling the local well-known (and little-known) food and drink, while also engaging in local alcohol-related customs. In each episode, Lamprey samples various drinks and food in addition to learning about the customs and libations of that area, and then experiences the local hangover cure. The series is produced by Screaming Flea Productions.
The Format:
Each episode begins with an overview of the places Zane will visit on his trip. Typically over the course of the episode, Zane will introduce different local alcoholic beverages and frequently spend some time with either a bartender or alcohol-maker to learn more about the drinks discussed. Many times when a new term or item is introduced, a note will appear on the screen to provide further information or help with pronunciation.
A number of recurring segments and gags surface in almost every episode. A voice-over feature starring “The Professor” will occasionally appear to introduce an in-depth history or description of something culturally significant, a locale, or the science behind a particular drink. Zane also often refers to his drinking buddy, a stuffed monkey named Pleepleus, who appears at random points in the show.
