The Travel Channel is coming to Tucson to tape an episode of Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre World at El Charro's downtown location at 311 N. Court Ave.

The taping will take place at 11 a.m., Thursday, Nov. 5, and will focus on the eatery's carne seca, the sun-dried beef cured in the swinging cage above the restaurant. The show will also touch on the restaurant's use of nopales—pads of the prickly pear cactus—to make nopalitos

Tucson is certainly starting to strut its stuff in the national food scene. Man V. Food was here at the end of September to visit Lindy's on Fourth and El Guero Canelo. What do we have to do to get Anthony Bourdain and Guy Fieri to stop by?
