Show Notes
You know him from his voyages around the world, showcasing (and eating) staples from every culture on the planet, and now Andrew Zimmern is here in South Beach demonstrating the kind of open heart it takes to do that work.
From childhood hardship, to devastating addiction, into incredible ambition and drive, Andrew describes his journey and the presence of food along his way. He details the start of Bizarre Foods, his experience traveling and learning… and of course Andrew talks about his friendship with Anthony Bourdain, their shared mission through their shows, and Anthony’s legacy. In the past, Andrew has been open about the depths of his addiction, but with Dan, he explains in new light the lengths he went to support it. Andrew also explains why he’s so vocal about his journey and the incredible benefits sober life has given him since he got clean.
