Munchies: Andrew Zimmern

You might know Andrew Zimmern from his Travel Channel show Bizarre Foods in which he wolfs down unsightly things halfway across the world. Maybe you've wondered what he eats when he's out with friends in New York. For this episode of Munchies, Andrew chose to start at Osteria Morini, where the most bizarre food on the table was an amazing rib-eye carpaccio that had been aged for 120 days. Then they headed to Marc Forgione for one of the more interesting meals we've ever seen. We ended up at the kitchen of Barbuto, where Zimmern made Chinese chicken drumsticks for the legendary chef Jonathan Waxman. Enjoy.

I loved how Andrew Zimmern was respectful and humble to his fellow chefs. He truly shows that he is the really nice, cool guy that you see on his show.

Such an interesting guy, especially in the eyes of a 9 year old me. Watching him on TLC after school was part of my childhood.

Why in the fuck did i watch this, its 3 am, the cafeteria is closed, an exam at 8, and i am fucking hungry now...

I think ill dream that my ramen noodles are some sort of roast prime rib... No... Im screwed

[headknocker]

I really love Andrew and his show, such a friendly and genuine guy

[Horus]

I love how honest Andrew is. You can tell when he's speaking that its almost stream of consciousness. He seems like a very cool dude.

[ESPNGenius]

Zimmern has shown that the world, different cultures, can come together through food. Utmost respect.

"You don't know how to make dinner, dude? I'll make dinner." For some reason, that made me lol. 

[shaneslaine]

Andrew is the coolest person i ever met. So down to earth and genuine.

[CyclonexxxIce]

Why so many haters? Andrew is awesome. I guess people will bitch about anything.

There's an old saying, "when you're young your first vice is alcohol, then drugs, and then as you age, food."

[FINSuojeluskunta]

I LOVE Zimmern. He has so much passion and so much respect for other people. He seems very real as well

Andrew Zimmern and Vice. Two of my fav things combined.

I love Andrew Zimmern. He really taught me how to describe food properly when i'm either judging it or describing it to others. I would love to have him over for dinner to have my taco's or my fettuccine alfredo and have his opinion on it.

My cooking is no flash, no flare, and presentation isn't big. But it's good. Plus eating in my home, is like a party for every meal. We celebrate food and good times. Cheers!

One of my favorites, his show takes me around the world, its the best.

[FREEBASS]

I love this guy he's always so cheerful and happy, As a matter of fact right before even knowing he lived in MN i was going to guess so because of his minnesota nice spirit.

Thanks Vice for bringing this back - there was a large gap where no Munchies episodes where happening.

[chortlesinthecorner]

Great episode! Loved getting the background info on Zimmern, and the other chefs. So cool.

[KuntaKinteToby]

Good Munchies EP, Andrew's love for food always makes anything he does worth watching.

[ifilmforfood]

Super glad that he sticks to the roots of Minnesota with the term, "tater-tot hotdish".

[tepobori]

I go back to this video now and again, I just love his view of the world, and he seems like a great guy.
