Todd Newton - CHUG & CHOW

Award-winning media personality and author Todd Newton doesn’t follow the crowds—he goes where the stories are.

Past the tourist traps and polished brochures, he finds the soul of a place in its dive bars, backstreet kitchens, and forgotten neighborhoods. From Bangkok speakeasies to remote Mexican villages, this is where locals gather, traditions hold, and nothing’s put on for show.

Each episode is part travel, part storytelling—sharing drinks with Portuguese fishermen, uncovering generations-old recipes, and meeting the kind of characters you won’t find on any itinerary.

For those searching authentic travel, local food, and real cultural experiences—this is your map.

No fluff. No filters. Just honest places, strong drinks, great meals, and stories earned the right way… one sunset at a time.
