The recent premiere of the
Travel Channel’s new show, “
Bizarre Foods America,” hosted by local chef Andrew Zimmern, featured a number of outstanding local delicacies.
In his column in
Mpls. St. Paul Magazine, Zimmern
lists some of the distinctive places to which the new show goes, including area farms, streams, and lakes and a Hmong market.
The Minneapolis restaurant
Piccolo offers a “lesson in meat glue 101” from Doug Flicker; a local VFW hall has a hot-dish cook-off, and at
Haute Dish in Minneapolis, Zimmern pitches in with offal hot dish. St. Paul's
The Blue Door Pub also makes it into the show.
Zimmern adds, “I couldn’t be prouder of the show, our local crew, the fans who came out to watch, and the local stars [who] opened up their farms and restaurants to us. “
