Plot Synopsis

Baron Ambrosia, the alter ego of Bronx-based underground filmmaker Justin Fornal, travels across the United States to find America's unsung heroes of culinary excellence, while getting tangled in stories of mystery, comedy and intrigue. The self-proclaimed 'Culinary Ambassador to the Bronx' journies to: Bridgeport, CT, where he finds a treasure map hidden in a haunted carousel and, in search of P.T. Barnum's treasure, he samples Peruvian ceviche, Haitian oxtail and Jamaican jerk chicken; Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, where he battles recipe thief Burgomiester Burger and tries to woo Tsarina, Maiden of the Sea, while tasting Georgian lamb stew, Uzbek noodle soup and Russian meat pie; Bethlehem, PA, where he learns evil witch Dona Sofrito has cursed the town, facing her in the ultimate showdown, armed only with his wit, stew burgers, and a very powerful cheese; Baltimore, MD, where JW, the jealous ex-boyfriend of Baron's girl, get out of jail, searches out the lovebirds as they enjoy Ethiopian specialties and Korean soup, ending in a game of crab roulette of love; Compton, CA, where Baron takes a tea break during a Compton Cricket Club match to enjoy deep fried turkey soul tacos, Indonesian curry and Samoan taro; Oakland, CA, where he solves a crime with his friend, Private Investigator John Law, while enjoying Laotian meat salad, and killer soul food and pie more than the hunt for the killer; Phoenix, AZ, where Baron (aka 'Eats Like a Bear') asks Navajo Chief Spotted Eagle for his daughter's hand in marriage, but first must find food to convince a skinwalker to leave the village -- Swedish fried elk and Native American fry bread; and many more off-the-beaten-path cities and offbeat adventures. Cooking Channel aired a 30-minute special, "The Culinary Adventures of Baron Ambrosia," on Sunday, November 6, 2011 at 10:30pm ET.
