@@justarandomname420 Holodomor? The soviet famine or something else? I looked up Holdormort and Google kept changing it to Voldemort. Lol. Anyways, if it's the Soviet famine, it makes sense... the US never officially acknowledged it as a thing. 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.

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

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]

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.

I wanna know what he thinks of gas station hotdogs next. "Ah, that warm comforting char of a burned wiener that has been rolling on metal cylinders since the Clinton administration, gently sauced by a packet of expired and separated mustard, is like a warm kiss from a college girlfriend after she takes a bong hit... What can I say, I'm a romantic"

I grew up with the big 3, RIP to Anthony, they’re responsible for sparking a deeper interest into food and it’s cultural impact around the world. Always a pleasure and a rush of nostalgia to see any of them on a screen. One of the best jobs in the world imo.

To sit share a meal and stories with (RIP) Bourdain or Zimmern would be a memorable Awesome lifetime experience.

I came here to say this. This was the golden years of the Travel Channel for me.

[@dma69nyc]

I remember Bizarre Foods and No Reservations every Saturday on Travel Channel back in the day. Good times. R.I.P. AB

[@CrymsonNite]

Same, I moved on to sorted food and mythical kitchen to inspire my cooking, I've learned so much from chefs on video

[@killaken2000]

Bizarre Foods is my all-time favorite food show. I haven't been lucky enough to see an episode in a while but the ones I have seen really stuck with me. Not only was the show great but Andrew's personality and genuineness brought a certain quality that couldn't be matched by anyone.

[@Snowbabiie]

Andrew truly touched such an important note when talking about our food, farms and sustainability of it all, it’s dire our system changes before it collapses in on us

[@mindseye4914]

Andrew is a personal hero of mine. I had a lot of sick days as a kid for many reasons, and it hips showp always made me smile no matter how bad I felt or how lonely I was.

Andrew took these sauces down like a champ. I knew he was a beast at eating the craziest foods on Earth, but the man can take the heat as well. Great Interview!

[@alexlazzerly3677]

This made me really wish that his fellow traveler Anthony Bourdain was still around for Hot Ones. He would have been a great interview.

Yes!! FINALLY someone appreciates Culver's over In N Out!!! He speaks truth, y'all! I was in GA for a decade & discovered the restaurant through my trucker mom & there is literally no logical comparison. Love me some A.Z. for many reasons!! Great episode.

Hahaha my trucker mom. How deliciously Georgia.

@@LadyGagger yep. And she sold her trucker company to the tune of $50 million. And still prefers Culver’s over In n out.

Andrew Zimmern is the REAL DEAL in decent, kind, caring , compassionate humans. I am a grateful sober alcoholic (3 years next week) and he has never failed to write notes of encouragement to all of us living One Day at a Time. Loved this interview. He is the man! Xoxox :-)

[@thekingghidorah93]

After watching Adam Richman a few years ago, I always wanted Andrew Zimmern to guest on Hot Ones. Finally happy that the day has come. Just a shame that we’ll never get to see Anthony Bourdain on this show. When it comes to travel and food shows, Tony, Adam, and Andrew were the OGs for me.

Andrew Zimmern definitely made a huge difference in the way I eat. I was already an adventurous eater from the time I was little, but watching Bizzare Foods made me more curious and more interested and appreciative of food from other cultures. Thank you Andrew!

[@princesswillow312]

Andrew Zimmern was a comfort to me through my childhood and I hold such a high regard for him. He inspired me to try every food, even if I am convinced I won't like it.

Now that's a quality guest. Knowledge of food, ecology, influence, importance, and so much more. One of the best from Hot Ones.

[@allenstorkel]

Big props to Andrew for many things he says during this interview. Big props to Hot Ones for having such a fun guest and great interview.

[@jetpaq]

Andrew is the reason I discovered fish sauce. And his philosophy of discovering and finding new things has been a part of my life before I new him, and even more so after I watch the show What a class act!

[@E_Don]

Probably the best Hot Ones I've seen. What a class act Zimmern is.

[@meerkat8090]

You know, him being a person who traveled the world and had tasted some of the spiciest food on earth, I’m not the least surprised that he was able to handle the gauntlet so fricken well

This man single handedly started my passion for food and turned me from a picky eater to a open minded one

oh yeah i am way more open minded after seeing Bizarre Foods, i wasnt picky per se but i wouldnt have been as open before seeing him eat those foods and enjoy them. well MOST of them that is.

[@kkkk-wg6je]

As a Wisconsinite it greatly appreciated the nod to Culver’s. I’ve been saying for years that their burgers could go up against anyone. You can have your In-n-out!

[@nicholusbaker2830]

We have them in Colorado also. You're right, definitely better than In n out.

[@carolann811]

I'm from Wisconsin and now live in Kentucky. We have a Culver's about 30 minutes away. When I discovered it I finally felt like I was home. Although there is still nothing like getting Culvers in Wisconsin. Also Kwik-Trip pizza. Described to a T. But the best hot dogs.

[@tinatee6334]

If I could choose one to come into New Hampshire, Culver’s, hands down.

Andrew mentioned Solly's Butter Burgers in Milwaukee. Great place.

I've been a big fan ever since Bizarre Foods first season. I always get the feeling that Bourdain was a bit high class chef / erudite kind of guy, whereas Zimmern is the everyman traveler guide, always down to earth and authentic. I love both but Zimmern doesn't get enough credit nowadays.

[@Krutamuzyka]

I love this man. His show genuinely got me interested in traveling the world - and has led to me having some amazing experiences.

From my Chicagoland heart - bless you for the Culvers praise, I gush about their burgers, custard and curds all the time as a transplant. Andrew, sean evans, and this interview is just fantastic.

[@begonia2]

I met Andrew Zimmern at the "Taste of Cayman" event in early 2020, he was just as nice as he is here. He would explain why to cook the steak the way he was showing us, to achieve the best flavor and you felt the joy he had in teaching. He talked about the struggles small restaurants have as well as hunger in America with passion, intelligence, and kindness in a factual..not confrontational way, which was refreshing. It was an honor to watch him cook and listen to him share his stories. I loved watching him on this episode appreciating and talking about the ingredients.

[@uniqueflowsnake]

I've always loved how positive and polite he is where ever he is and what ever kind of food he's offered.
