SNOWSHOE, W.Va. -- Andrew Zimmern has traveled the world in search of strange delicacies, but now he's trying something that many West Virginians won't think is so exotic: squirrel.
Zimmern, host of the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods,'' is coming to Snowshoe on Friday for a traditional squirrel hunt with restaurateur Brian Ball.
Ball owns the Ember restaurant at Snowshoe Mountain Ski Resort, and plans to serve the TV host a meal of squirrel brains after the hunt.
Squirrel season began on Oct. 11 and runs through the end of January. Hunting squirrels is a popular diversion during deer season, although the TV crew shouldn't get too attached to the cuisine: there's a daily bag limit of six bushytails per hunter.
