Watch Glutton for Punishment online: Episode 1 Waiter's Race

In the world of food and wine, waiters are the true unsung heroes. Working the front lines between picky diners and primadonna chefs, they are the foot soldiers of fine dining. Come along for the fun as Glutton for Punishment host Bob Blumer runs off his feet at a busy brasserie in New York City, training in the classic French style. Once he's mastered it, Bob prepares to compete against the city's finest in NYC's annual Waiter's Race -- held, appropriately, on Bastille Day! His challenge is to run three blocks and back carrying a tray, two wine glasses and a carafe of water, without spilling a drop. And his reward is to prove that he can take the heat...in and out of the kitchen.
