MUMBAI:
Kevin Brauch appreciates a fine glass of spirits and he will go
to the ends of the earth to sample the best this world has to offer.
From Spain to Sweden and Taiwan to the Carribean, each region has
a specialty drink which, to be truly appreciated, should be toasted
among the people who have helped make it the best. Hosting a new
season of THE THIRSTY TRAVELER, Kevin Brauch invites viewers to
hop on board and tour the world, seeking, sipping and saluting the
best native concoctions.
Have
you ever heard of the ice vodka? Do you know where to find a devil
of a drink? And have you ever followed a wine trail? Kevin Brauch
reveals the history and experiences the culture behind beverages
unique to particular parts of the world in premiere episodes of
THE THIRSTY TRAVELER airing every Thursday at 10:30 pm.
Just
a taste of the experience, THE THIRSTY TRAVELER introduces viewers
to Caribbean liqueurs, the rolling vineyards across the world, and
beer brewers of Wales.
KEVIN
BRAUCH
Host of Thirsty Traveler on Discovery Travel & Living
During
his early days as a bartender in Toronto's trendiest clubs and restaurants
Kevin Brauch served up Cuba Libras, Manhattans, Black Russians,
Irish Coffees and other delicious delights from a global smorgasbord
of spirits to a battalion of loyal customers. Who knew that the
knowledge Kevin garnered during his seven years behind the bar would
come in handy as host of The Thirsty Traveller.
Armed
with a take-no-prisoners attitude, Kevin has become somewhat of
a fixture on national television since graduating from Ryerson University's
Radio and Television Arts program in 1994. His impressive resume
boasts gigs as a radio host, television host, writer, actor and
television producer, just for starters. Today, armed with a backpack
and a terrific thirst for adventure, Kevin holds the title of "best
damn job in the world!" as he travels the planet drinking the
world's finest spirits, wines, beers, and eating the best food imaginable.
But
Kevin's work as The Thirsty Traveller doesn't stop there. Now, midway
through shooting the hugely successful, international hit television
series, Kevin is kept extraordinarily busy doing personal appearances
and touring to support the show's companion cookbook, Thirsty Traveler
- Road Recipes. This well-received tome features some of Kevin's
favourite tales and the recipes he's gathered while traveling the
planet, focusing on how to cook with fine wines, beers and spirits.
