Watch Daufuskie Island's Sallie Ann Robinson on the Travel Channel Monday Daufuskie Island's Sallie Ann Robinson on the Travel Channel Monday ByJustin Paprocki The Island Packet HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC Copyright 2012 The Island Packet / The Beaufort Gazette. Andrew Zimmern was in the Savannah area a few months ago to film an episode of his show, Bizarre Foods. As part of that, he caught up with Gullah chef Sallie Ann Robinson on her native Daufuskie Island. She cooked him barbecued raccoon. Judge for yourself how bizarre that is. (According to Sallie, it tastes just like beef.) The episode airs 9 p.m. Monday (March 12) on the Travel Channel. Check out a few clips here. Andrew also spent some time in Savannah with the Lady Chablis and eats at the excellent Angel's BBQ. Oh, and in case barbecue raccoon whets your appetite, get the recipe here.
