THE SURREAL GOURMET
Episode: Carbilicious(Episode #3026)
Hosted By: Bob Blumer
When Bob isn1t driving his Toastermobile around town, his next favorite mode of transportation is his bicycle. With his Toastermobile as the chase vehicle, Bob and a recreational cycle group head out into the countryside for a day of freewheeling and big-time eating. Following a carbilicious breakfast of banana French toast, Bob and the gang cover lots of ground before stopping for an energy-packed lunch. At the end of the day1s ride, Bob rewards the cyclists with a pasta dinner in a picturesque field.
