More Scorpion Love from Portland’s KGW

By on August 21, 2008 in Blog

Okay, maybe “love” is an overstatement.

Not long after I filmed the Donghuamen Night Market segment with CBS (but before it aired), I was contacted by KGW, Portland’s NBC affiliate. Stephanie Stricklen, the correspondent, wanted to shoot an odd street food story for the Portland area, and of course, I obliged. (According to an online pole, viewers had insisted she try scorpion.) She was also excited to learn that Jacob is an ex-Oregonian, and thus his appearance in the segment.

This KWG clip which aired on August 19th shows both the Donghuamen Night Market and the slightly less tourisy Wangfujing Snack Street.

    This is very odd but rather interesting segment. She’s really strong to try out a scorpion. KGW is really great and I look forward to more cool features as well!

    I remembered watching that segment and it just made my mouth watered. So delicious,…I want to China again NOW.

    KGW is my favorite news station. I have it running at my office all the time.
