  • Andrew Zimmern is a chef, restaurateur, author, and Emmy Award-winning food TV pioneer. You can catch his latest series, Family Dinner with Andrew Zimmern, Sunday nights on Magnolia Network, and Wild Game Kitchen is coming later this year to Outdoor Channel. But how is he with spicy food? Zimmern may have traveled the globe eating chilies in Northern Thailand and mala hot pot in Chengdu, but he's never faced hot sauces like Da Bomb and The Last Dab Apollo. Watch him check "Hot Ones" off his bucket list and share wisdom on everything from the cultural significance of supermarkets, to how birria tacos took over social media.

    Many years ago Andrew went to Indian, Alaska to Indian Valley meats to try “moose nose jelly” made by my grandfather and the happiness it brought him for Andrew and the show to come see him was unimaginable. He couldn’t wipe a smile off his face for months. He died in 2020 while I was on my way to Afghanistan and if he went through some of his happiest moments in his life as he took his last breath, I would bet that his time with Andrew was pretty up there. Thank you Andrew

I lived near a lot of dairys and it used to anger me to see gallons and gallons of milk dumped because farmers have to continue milking their cows, but the state told them they could only sell so much of it to keep prices where they wanted it.

    This is the first Hot Ones that actually made ME cry. It seems so bonkers to me that we as a species follow the example of some of the most disconnected, self-aggrandizing, arrogant and entitled people when there're thoughtful solutions to real problems presented by wise and caring people. I can hear in Andrew's voice a sort of resigned acceptance that people won't internalize the information he's giving, that he sees what's coming and knows we won't fix it, but he and many like him are going to keep giving us the tools. I admire him and the ways in which he uses his energy, time and passion. I hope more people start following his example.

    • @jmanswat2457
      @jmanswat2457 Год назад +2

      There's definitely room for improvement. But I don't see a good solution if we want our food "globalized." What the food industry has become is because "WE" demanded it. Our favorite foods EVERYWHERE, ANYTIME, and AFFORDABLE. It's an impossible task any way you slice and try to fix it.
      You make it "healthy and organic" and now it costs to much and isn't plentiful enough. You make it cheap and available and now it's GMO'd and "not healthy" for you etc etc.

Great questions, fantastic answers, and more insight actually than what we have gotten in a long time from what the sauces and the flavors behind them taste like. Also, one of most wholesome and heartfelt episodes to date. Outstanding and well done. I know he isn't the biggest celebrity on the planet but man I hope a lot of people catch this episode.

Never went there, because I know that it’s so calorie inducing… But I agree with him that shake shack is one of the best fast foods although pricey, I cannot wait to go try culvers.

    This man’s love for Culver’s and the background music as he was explaining it was so wholesome. I love how intelligent he is with food and describing it.

      if for no other reason I would say that's how you know he is a chef that loves his craft.

      That was quite an endorsement. EVERY time I drive by my Culvers, the drive thru is packed. So they added a second line and it's STILL jam packed. Turtle sundaes... mmmmmm.

    This was a great episode! Andrew is such a genius in his own right. Opinions will be but he's so well spoken and colorful! He has some things to teach others, not learn. That's the type of ppl I try to surround myself with. Awesome. He did great BUT we all know the star of the show, SEAN!!!!
