What’s the most bizarre food that andrewzimmern has tried? What’s a cuisine Americans should seek out more? The ‘Bizarre Foods’ chef discussed his taste, spice line, the best financial advice he has received and more with CharlesPassy.
There’s more to Andrew Zimmern than his penchant for feasting on fermented sheep’s head or bamboo rats.
A New York City native and experienced chef who now calls Minneapolis home, Zimmern, 61 years old, hasn’t always had it so easy. In his younger days, he was an alcoholic and drug addict and was homeless for a period. He’s been sober for 30 years, but he still speaks candidly about the struggles he faced and the need for rethinking addiction treatment in America.
Zimmern: Oh gosh. I think it’s more of a problem than it is a solution. I tend to say yes to everything, because so many things interest me. I’m sure I am in some way psychologically making up for my lost decade of the 1980s, where I was a very active drug addict and alcoholic. So in some ways I’m making up for that and I’m involved in too many things, but I find it really hard to say no to things that sound fun and fascinating. I like making TV. I like making books.Zimmern: Again, making.
