It's Greek to him

Minnesota's own Andrew Zimmern may have a new show, "Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations," but he's maintaining a bottomless appetite that he fills in Athens, Greece, with a steady diet of deep-fried doughnuts and spanakopita. 8 p.m. Travel

The right path

I'm not a big fan of actors masquerading as journalists, but I'm willing to make an exception for "A Path Appears," in which celebrities such as Mia Farrow, Ashley Judd and Jennifer Garner tag along with esteemed reporters Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn as they explore gender inequality around the world. The big names serve as compassionate but naive pupils studying this critical issue. 9 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2

The horror, the horror

Alfred Hitchcock wasn't only fascinated by fictional horror. "Night Will Fall" examines the acclaimed director's efforts to put together a documentary about survivors in Germany's concentration camps after World War II. 8 p.m. HBO
