Heyo from Food Works HQs. Many of you have asked me if I “eat all that weird stuff that Andrew does.” Sometimes I do, and recently I found myself keeping up with the boss man during an impressive food day in Minneapolis. Whenever you’re out to eat with Andrew, he takes the reigns. I arrived to our lunch meeting at Victory 44 with an open mind and an empty stomach (he always orders enough for the group x 3). Seven of us were at lunch. Here’s what arrived at our table:
2 orders of bacon fries– regular fries with a squirt of bacon fat, pinch of rosemary salt, Parmesean cheese, and house-made bacon powder (that stuff should be illegal.)
2 orders of artichoke flatbread with white anchovies
2 orders of Devils on Horse Back, aka bacon-wrapped dates with bleu cheese whiz
2 charcuterie plates, complete with headcheese, bacon-wrapped liverwurst, chicken pate with cherries and walnuts, chicken galantine, sous vide cow tongue, and beef liver mousse
7 (!) Foie dogs with kimchee cukes
2 orders of fried chicken in a biscuit
2 orders of Korean bbq pork
2 orders of coconut sorbet with tapioca
2 orders of nectarine cream cake with pickled vanilla and tomato sorbet
I’m fairly certain we ordered more than this, but I can only recall these dishes. I loved nearly everything– the chicken pate, artichoke flatbread, fried chicken and bbq pork were insane. The tomato sorbet was insane as well, but in a completely different way. It’s my least favorite fruit/vegetable (?), and as a dessert? Ah, nice try but no thanks. I was stuffed by the end of lunch.
***
But wait! There’s more! Next we headed down the street to Travail where Andrew was to film a segment for Bizarre Foods: MN. Not 45 minutes later, I was made to eat the following:
Fried duck nuts! (terrible pic, but you get the idea)
A burger made with extra beef fat!
The organ grinder sandwich (liverwurst, rabbit mortadella, beef tongue and sweet bread terrine, duck liver mousse, cucumber, cornichon, radish, and dijon truffle sherry vin emulsion)!
I also tried a durian doughnut. And guess what… I LOVED it!
***
You’re probably thinking that by this point I’d be ready to explode, barf, or worse. Well you, my friend, are 100 percent correct. But wait… there is still more.
That very same evening, I had a romantic dinner date with my sweetheart at Piccolo (yet another restaurant to be featured on Bizarre Foods: MN). We’d had the reservation for 3 weeks. It was for my birthday. I couldn’t dip on this one, so here’s what I had for dinner:
Compressed butter lettuce with olio verde, pistachios and anchovy jus
Burrata with frozen peas, house cured shad botarga and crispy artichokes
English cucumber with blue crab, shaved asparagus and Japanese mayonnaise
Broiled swordfish belly with yuba knot, hon shimeji mushrooms, spring onion and tofu puree
Scrambled brown eggs with pickled pig’s feet, truffle butter and Parmigiano
Monterey Bay squid stuffed with salt cod, papas bravas and chorizo
Callister Farm chicken with artichokes, locally milled polenta and batter fried fig
Veal chuck roast with king crab, fava beans and spinach
Strawberry and rhubarb trifle with graham cracker pastry and Chantilly cream
***
So how does a girl like me feel after eating 2 kinds of crab, chicken 4 ways, duck nuts, 9 kinds of offal, 2 kinds of beef tongue, 5 kinds of fish, and who knows what else? Equal parts disgusted with myself, impressed by Andrew’s ability to do this on a regular basis, and happy to check “eating something from every cage in the zoo” off my bucket list.
What’s your most outrageous eating day?

In his beautifully written article in the final issue of Gourmet magazine published in 2009, Adam Gollner wrote about a trip up north, 11 hours by train, to go hunt and fish with Fred Morin and David McMillan of the famous Joe Beef restaurant in Montreal. This passage became my inspiration for the Montreal shoot of Bizarre Foods. Gollner put it perfectly…
“Most of Montreal’s finest restaurants tap into the mythology of the well-fed outdoorsman, whether it’s the “man-sized French Canadian cooking” of Martin Picard’s Au Pied de Cochon or of Old Montreal’s Le Club Chasse et Pêche, named after northern sporting lodges and decorated in kind. These restaurants, like the institutions they revere, are temples of hedonism. It’s as though overindulgence became a way of compensating for—or obliterating the memory of—the hardships endured by the coureurs de bois. As early as the 19th Century, sporting periodicals were already describing larders bulging with baskets of Champagne, magnums of claret, a “fair allowance” of dry Sherry, barrels of India Pale Ale, and cases of “eau de vie pale et vieille for medicinal purposes.”
Montreal has always inspired some of my most deeply resonant lost weekends. There is no city on earth better geared for a weekend of madly obsessive chowing than the Quebecois pleasure dome of Montreal. And its not just Montreals finest eateries that plug into the aestehtica of indulgence, the casual joints do as well. From Abu Elias butcher shop and café to Schwartz’s Deli, nothing is small and light in Montreal. And the star of the show? Meat. I love this town.
We ate terrine and offal at DNA where chef Derrick Damman is crushing it, serving truly inspired food that loudly screams its Canadian provenance, we destroyed 70# of BBQ with Fred on the back porch of Joe Beef with the crew from Fleisher’s Meats in NYC, we mowed down 6 courses at Au Pied de Cochon, 3 at La Banquise, 4 at Brome Lake Duck, 12 at Abu Elias, dozens at Jean Talon and Atwater Markets, 9 at Martin Picard’s Cabin Sucre, and the list goes on. I only at two courses at Schwartz’s, but it was a BBQ duck and a monster of a smoked meat sandwich and I was playing it cool because I was trying to impress the insanely sexy and divinely funny wing-woman I had accompany that day, Nadia Giosa of Bitchin’ Kitchen fame.
Best moment not seen on camera: we ate all day at Atwater market and all night at Joe Beef with Fred and stopped in to shoot some b-roll at APDC and I was going to eat a maple pudding for show. I was stuffed and deliriously full. I was hallucinating on an overdose of pork fat and oysters, butter and lard, potatoes and grilled smoked boiled braised sauteed roasted meat of all types. I was swaying like a drunken fat girl at prom. It was ugly. So I am at the table eating, Chef Emily and manager Marc taking good care of me because Martin was up north at Cabin Sucre where he retreats in Spring to get away from the headaches of being Martin Picard. Well, all of a sudden course after course start arriving, beef tartare cones, marrow bones with foie gras and truffle butter, roasted pork cheek confit with foie gras, curried whole pork shoulder (yes I said whole!) and more…I look up, and who is pulling the strings, trying to crush me as any chef would to any other they see in their dining room…Martin. He had driven in from the country just to make sure I was buried alive under an avalanche of the best food in town. I still haven’t recovered and that was in March!
Enjoy the show, it’s one of the best we ever created. And more importantly you need to spend more time in Montreal, its where my step-dad lives and I get there often, but it’s never enough. Catch the full episode Tuesday, July 12 at 9pm ET/PT on Travel Channel.

We loved Fez…the medina, the hills, the ‘new’ city. And the riads. Best thing I can tell you is to walk the medina daily, and when you see construction, linger. Wait a few minutes and when the inevitable thrice hourly delivery arrives, ask to peek around.
Everyone is friendly, they love to show you how the local artisans restore thousand year old homes, oases of tranquility, serving the best foods in the city. Check out Riad Laaroussa’s website, it’s my choice for where to stay, and the food is superb. Watch the show, the bistilla was made in their kitchen.
Here is an amazingly easy and simple fish dish that reminds me of the best of Moroccan cuisine. Fez is not on the coast, and fish is virtually unseen at mealtimes, but this should make a nice dinner for you while you watch our show. The foods of Fez are extraordinary, with insane layers of flavor created by marrying smart cooking with the best ingredients. That’s true of most North African cuisine… You can use this technique on any fish, big or small, even a walleye from the lake or a porgy from the channel. Enjoy, and watch the new Bizarre Foods: Morocco show tonight at 9pm E/P on Travel Channel.
Grilled Sardines with Almond Chermoula
12 fresh sardines, cleaned, heads on…if sardines are not available, try small red mullet, mackerel or trout.
3 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1 large handful mint leaves
1/2 cup toasted almonds
3 plump garlic cloves
A few pinches hot ground red chile, don’t be afraid of the heat!
1 cup olive oil
3T lime juice, more or less to taste
1/2 cup raisins, coarsely chopped
1/2t saffron mixed into 2T water
1 small onion minced fine
Place the onion, raisins, saffron and half the almonds into a large bowl and set aside.
Puree the remaining ingredients and cut 3 slashes into both sides of the fish. Do so at a 45 degree angle and don’t go through the spine of the fish.
Take 1/3 of the pureed mixture and rub into the fish slashes and along the length of the fish. Season fish with salt and pepper.
Take the remaining puree and combine with the onion mixture to make the table sauce (chermoula).
Grill (or broil) the fish for several minutes on each side and serve with the chermoula.

Tonight’s episode is all about Suriname, the smallest nation in South America. I visit two villages, hunt in the jungle, and discover foods that were even bizarre to me.
Since I couldn’t come up with a savvy salted piranha recipe for the home chef (next time…), here’s a dish I love in celebration of the first day of summer. We always try to keep a pitcher of gazpacho in our fridge in the warm weather months as a snack and as an easy thing to build a meal around. Keep large batches of this easy and addictive soup on hand throughout the rest of the summer.
Gazpacho (makes 6 servings)
6 c tomato juice
2 t dried oregano
6 fresh basil leaves
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
2 clv fresh gralic, chopped
2 t Crystal brand hot sauce
1 T fresh lemon juice
3 T red wine vinegar
2 T Worchestershire sauce
2 ripe tomatoes, peeled and seeded
2 c cucumbers, shoped, peeled, and seeded
2 c green peppers, chopped
1 red onion, chopped
Place tomato juice in a large work bowl and add oregano, basil, and olive oil. Season with some sea salt and freshly ground white pepper. Set aside.
Place remaining ingredients in work bowl of a food processor and pulse to combine in batches, adding tomato juice mixture in equal proportions as you purée. Do not over-mix. You are looking for an evenly textured purée with some grit to it. The crunch and the pretty visuals will come later from your diced vegetable garnishes.
Chill, taste, and adjust the salt and acid (lemon-vinegar) flavors and serve, garnishing as indicated below.
Garnish
Try any or all of these great “soup accessories” with your next batch of gazpacho.
• Bread cubes, brushed with bruised garlic and pan-fried crisp in olive oil
• Minced pepper, cucumber, tomato, and onion mixed in equal parts
• Minced parsley
• Olive oil drizzles

Eating Feijoada surrounded by half-naked samba dancers in tonight’s Rio episode of Bizarre Foods was a dream come true. We found some unusual hidden gems from deep in the Amazon jungle, I ate an old critter from the sea and I got to tour Rhocina, one of the most notorious slums in the world. We went into the den of the narco-traffickers to taste foods that come from the deep interior of the country, where young people emigrate every day looking for a better start in the big city. They bring their culture with them, including some amazing chow. Watching heavily armed gunmen shake us down and search us prior to entering the heavily militarized area was something I will never forget. Once in, we had an amazing eating day. Some shows are just like that.
Anyway, while sitting around the living room, try this delicious meal in a bowl. It’s a traditional moqueca that has the cashew butter added. To some, this makes it a vatapa, but to me that is splitting hairs. You can make this as varied as there are fish in the sea and many restaurants in Brazil make theirs with cuttlefish, many species of crab/crays/langoustes etc. I can’t guarantee that half naked girls and gangsters will show up, but who knows?
Brazilian Moqueca…Fish, Shrimp and Mussel Soup
Serves 4-6
1# whole shrimp (16 count work great)
1# Mussels… big, fat, plump New Zealand Green Lip mussels or Mediterranean balck mussels work best
1# Halibut, grouper, snapper or cod filets or steaks
2T lime juice, plus more for seasoning
2T vegetable oil
3 Thai bird chiles or 1 habanero chile
6 cloves garlic minced
2 onions, sliced thin
2T tomato paste
1 cup coconut milk
2T cashew nut butter
4T minced cilantro leaves
2 cups shrimp or shellfish stock
Marinate the fish for 1 hour in half the lime juice. Pat dry and lightly brown over high heat in the oil in a large pot. Add the vegetables, herbs and spices. Saute briefly and when glassy add the tomato paste. Stir, and add the shellfish stock and bring to a boil. Remove the fish and let rest on a plate, continue to boil the stock. After stock has reduced by 1/3, add the coconut milk and simmer until soup has thickened. Add the shrimp and cover, cooking for a minute or so to cook shrimp through. Add the fish and mussels back to the pot, cook until mussels have opened. Season with salt and lime juice, swirl in the cashew butter and serve.

Tonight I make a crazy tour of Washington DC’s Embassy Row. Amongst other things, I finally taste something made with durian that I like. I also visit the residence of the Moroccan Ambassador and I get to taste many of my favorite foods, but not the grilled sardines listed below. So that’s what I am making tonight while I watch the show. I adore this dish and you can make it with small mackerel, lake fish, just about anything. I even made it with a whole salmon.
We shot tonight’s show over a few trips last year to DC and I think it provides a great reminder about why our food world is so amazing. Just check out the hospitality we experience everywhere we go, especially from smallest country we feature. And yes, the French Embassy is indeed as amazing as it looks, and we didn’t even show you the best parts. Privacy issues are rampant in Washington, sorry about that.
Grilled Sardines with Almond Chermoula
Serves 4
12 fresh sardines, cleaned, heads on…if sardines are not available, try small red mullet, mackerel or trout.
3 cups fresh cilantro leaves
1 large handful or mint leaves
1/2 cup toasted almonds
3 plump garlic cloves
pinch or two red pepper flakes
1 1/4 cups olive oil
Lime juice to taste
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 teaspoon saffron mixed into 2T water
1 small minced onion
Place the onion, raisins, saffron and half the almonds into a large bowl and set aside.
Pulse the remaining ingredients in a food processor and cut 3 lateral slashes into both sides of the fish making sure to avoid cutting through the spine.
Take a third of the pureed mixture and rub into the fish slashes.
Take the remaining puree and combine with the onion mixture.
Grill (or broil) the fish for several minutes on each side and serve with the rest of the chermoula.

So Andrew’s new season of Bizarre Foods kicked off on Tuesday in his old stomping grounds– the kitchens of NYC. Andrew says it’s one of his favorite episodes to date. I loved watching him get worked in the Marea kitchen, and the Ron Jeremy porn ‘stache was hysterical.
But I gotta be honest. I’m not sure the new show was the Food Works HQs highlight of the week. For the past year and a half, we’ve been unsuccessfully jamming leftovers and water bottles into a crappy mini fridge. This thing only holds a few sodas, freezes all produce, and melts all frozen things. We finally bucked up and brought a big person fridge. This was a big deal around here. I caught Andrew standing in front of this appliance, marveling at it’s beauty, 2-3 times this week. It’s now stuffed with leftover Szechuan food, condiments o’plenty, and lots of ice cold beverages. Have perishable food product you’d like AZ to try? Send away as we finally have a place to put it!
Ahhh… It’s the little things. What’s in your fridge?

I’m fully aware that this is the “Bizarre Foods Blog” and all of you are a lot more interested in what AZ– not me– is up to, but I just got back from the best trip to Vegas and had to share. I was with a few girlfriends for a bachelorette party. As per usual, we burned the candle at both ends, which means I have lots of places to tell you about.
If you haven’t been since The Cosmopolitan opened in December, all I can say is wowza. I kept referring to it as our own personal cruise ship in the middle of the desert. Seriously, in three days, we left one time! You’ll see why– easily the best room I’ve ever had in Vegas, plus great pools, shopping and food.
We stayed in a terrace one bedroom pseudo-suite, complete with over-sized couch, dressing area (loved the wallpapered closet… I am doing that at my next house!), kitchenette, loads of coffee table books, a gigantic Japanese soaking tub with views of the Strip.
A slick pocket door divides the living room and bedroom if need be. I’m a dum-dum and didn’t get a photo of the room before our suitcases exploded, so here’s a shot from later in the weekend of Kelly, Corinne (who you may recognize from the NBC series The Event), bachelorette Bethany, and I in a “I swear we didn’t know this photo was being taken” pose.
The private terrace was the cherry on top! Have you ever had a balcony in Vegas? How ’bout one that looks over the Belagio fountains? Yeah, I hadn’t either. Here’s the bachelorette taking in the sights (the photo at the top is the view at night).
We spent our first day lounging at the Boulevard Pool– one of the hotel’s three options. Here’s the deal: The Bamboo Pool on the 14th floor is fairly quiet– a great place to relax, or maybe quietly nurse back to health after late night shenanigans. The Boulevard Pool is a little livelier– there’s a low-key DJ, lots of day beds (see ours below… it rocked), a couple hot tubs, and guys and gals in swimsuits looking to have a good time.
The third pool is the Marquis Day Club, aka a night club without the added bonus of a soft, dim glow that makes everyone look extra attractive. Let’s just say if you’re into the GTL lifestyle, you can’t miss this party. If you’re not down with GTL or don’t know what GTL means, go to another pool. It’s this photo x 1 million:
A day at a Vegas pool often lends itself to a serious need for food. Specifically, pizza. The Cosmopolitan has a top secret pizza party on the 3rd floor. No name, no sign, just a long hall wedged between Blue Ribbon Sushi and Jaleo that leads to pizza Shangri-La.
You can get ‘za by the slice, or entire pies to bring back to your room. For eight bucks, I got a slice of sausage/mushroom and a Solo party cup of Coke Zero. That ain’t bad for Vegas.
Incognito pizza joint doesn’t have much for seating, so grab a seat in the game room just outside. There’s a pool table if you’re so inclined.
We had a few other dining experiences– take home points: Skip everything at Holstein’s except the protein shake and maybe an order of steak fries. Kinda sad when a burger joint’s best thing is a berry protein shake, but that’s just my opinion. We ate some poolside ceviche and shrimp cocktail (pretty good… but what we REALLY wanted was chips and guac), breakfast at the Henry (slow service. Wish they had breakfast sandwiches at Va Bene, but alas it’s just coffee and pastries). Our shining culinary experience was definitely Scarpetta on Sunday night. There were only three of us left, and it was the perfect atmosphere for unwinding after a fun-filled weekend.
Cozy, well-designed (loved the exposed bulbs everywhere), with lighting that makes everyone and everything look a little sexier. I don’t remember what the music was specifically, but I know I liked it AND it was at the perfect level–loud enough for it to play an actual role in the restaurant’s personality, but not so loud that you couldn’t carry on a conversation. I loved how the seats near the window faced outside toward the spectacular view of the Bellagio fountain. Bravo to the brains at the Cosmo who managed to turn the Bellagio’s huge selling point into a free focal point throughout their own casino/hotel. Smart.
We kicked off dinner with a bottle of pinot noir that sommelier Mike recommended. It was a mouthful– Jermann Red Angel on the Moonlight, but it freaking awesome. Wine’s not my forte, so I’ll sum it up as more full bodied than what you’d expect from a pinot. We needed oomph. It had oomph.
We ordered the roasted sea scallops and our server Garvin steered us toward the raw yellowtail with oliodize nzero & pickled red onion. I’m glad he did. It was my favorite of the night. The menu neglected to mention it’s inclusion of large grains of salt (unless that’s what “oliodize nzero” means, but I doubt it), which added a burst of flavor and crunch.
Next came pasta, and to be honest, I think we were a little over-sold on the plain spaghetti. Based on our servers explanation, we expected to be wowed, but in fact it was kind of just like noodles. With a light tomato sauce.
We also ate this, which I cannot recall what it was for the life of me. Let’s put it this way– creamy, comfy pasta that makes you want to crawl into bed after eating it. This is exactly what we did after dinner.
We tried the pancetta-wrapped veal loin with sweetbreads and winter vegetable ragu. The veal was perfectly cooked, and the sweetbreads were subtle enough to not freak any of my tablemates out– a rarity.
As if we’d pass up dessert. We all opted for sweet and tart over chocolatey, so this take on strawberry shortcake (with rhubarb and balsamic) won.
Garvin also brought us dessert from Jaleo– Jose Andres Spanish restaurant next door. It was some sort of salty caramel and chocolate pudding paired with English toffee (my favorite!). Very smooth, Garvin. This pretty much ensures Jaleo is on my to do list for the next Sin City trip.
So that’s the Cosmopolitan in a nutshell. Good for food lovers, sunbathers, and late sleeper-inners, which means I’ll definitely be back.

My pal Ralph Bousfield runs Unchartered Africa and they are the best in the business. You will see him in tosday nights’ Kalahari Bizarre World/Bizarre Foods show that offers some of the best and most amazing work we have done to date. Each night we settled down to eat dinner after sunset, when the Ju/’hoansi would go to bed. We’d sit under the Botswanan skies as the moon rose and stars came out and we would eat like pigs, often it was our only big meal of the day. These are INSANE. Make ‘em, and eat ‘em in front of the TV while you watch the episode.
Tune in tonight, Tuesday, May 3 2 9pm E/P on Travel Channel.
English Bittersweet Lemon Puddings
One night in the Aha Hills our safari camp cook from Unchartered Africa made these impressive puddings. They were demolished in short order, and you will love them.
Makes 6 desserts
1T unsalted butter
3 eggs, separated
1/2 cup super-fine sugar
2 1/2T flour
1T lemon zest (Meyer lemons work great in spring)
1/4 cup fresh conventional (or Meyer lemon) lemon juice
1 cup milk
Pinch of salt
Powdered sugar for garnish
Butter 6 custard cups and place in a baking dish lined with a dish towel.
Whisk egg yolks with the sugar until nice and light, add the flour, zest and juice, then add the milk.
Whips the whites stiff with an electric beater or mixer, fold into milk mixture along with the salt.
Fill cups with batter, pour hot water into baking pan to reach half way up the sides of the cups.
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until lightly browned.
Cool and serve in the cups, dusted with powdered sugar.

Greetings from Food Works. Andrew is out of town today for a speaking gig at Harper College (for those of you in the Chicago area, there are still some tickets available… his talk is at 7pm tonight, 4/28.), and when the boss is away, we like to dig through his stuff.
AZ’s refers to his desk as “organized chaos.” My co-worker Dusti and I think of it more as “chaos,” but I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. Anyhow, he’s got a bunch of very sweet letters from some of his younger fans at his desk. Since we love reading these, I figured the rest of you would, too.
The above letter from Maile arrived with this beautiful drawing of a four-headed animal with bat wings, a sour apple flavored jelly bean body, four legs, and a tail sporting a bow-tie (?). I’m not sure what you’d call this creature, or where it comes from. Only from the mind of a first grader… or Stephen King:
Next, we have this note from Zenett B. from New York City. The nurse from her elementary school sent us the letter– apparently Zenett was sick, but mustered the energy to write this very nice letter– which includes a drawing of Andrew wearing a shirt that says, “I’ll eat anything!” and carrying a suitcase (?) that says “Show me disscasting food!” There’s also a 12-legged centipede.
It’s a little blurry, so…
Andrew Zimmern,
I really like your show easpishly when you went 48 hours in the jungle. Me and my mom love your show. I can’t belive that you ate pigs brains! Wow I hope we can meet.
From,
Zenett B.
your fan
P.S. You are my hero!
The next letter comes from Charlie of Jupiter, Florida.
Dear Andrew Zimmern,
My name is Charlie B. and I’m 9 years old. I love watching your show “Bizzare Foods”. Even though you eat some of the most bizzare foods I ever heard of, I would still eat some of them. I want to ask you, “Can I have an autograph of you eating a bizzare food?” If not, you can just send me a picture of you. Autographed.
Thank you for writing me.
Love, Charlie B.
Oh, and don’t forget, if it looks good, EAT IT!
P.S. I had some beef tongue!
Our last drawing comes from Dusti’s 9-year-old daughter, Hattie, who drew this photo of her with Andrew. AZ loves this one because, as you can see, he has a lot of hair (kind of Donald Trump-like, don’t you think?).
Thanks to all you kids (and parents… and school nurses) who send along these kind notes. We love ‘em.
