JEFF: I do. My daughter, Maya, who's five has been to Mexico, Africa, all around the world. My other daughter, Marina, is only 5 months. We did her first travel experience with her and it wasn't a super amount of fun. She was about two months too young I think. But she'll get there. Maya went on her first trip when she was 7 or 8 months and it really was a good time for her. She basically grew up on the road. I look at her life...she goes out and helps me catch fish. We have mussel beds. We have clam beds. She helps me harvest and haul up the lobster traps. I think it is a great gift to give your children. I think what's really special about this show is I think sometimes we forget where our food comes from. There is a process to making a delicious meal and how that meal is made between family and friends and helps bind relationships.
When you're traveling, do you introduce your daughter to some of the stranger foods?
JEFF: Absolutely. Within reason that is. I want to be careful eating street food in New Delhi. We have that rule, though, that you have to try it once before you say you don't like it. And because of that she'll have friends that come over to spend the night and they're like "You guys are going to eat this?!" You'd be surprised how many little kids don't eat clams. But Maya loves her clams. She was out there digging them. And when we're traveling...absolutely. I took her to Mexico recently and we were eating what the locals were eating. She did quite well with it.
