Andrew Zimmern grew up in New York City, where he learned his love of food from traveling with his parents and spending weekends with his grandmother. He got his first job in a restaurant on Long Island at age 14, and after some difficult years with substance abuse, he eventually moved to Minnesota, where he got sober and gained attention as a chef, radio host, writer, and television personality. In 2006, he started hosting Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel, which earned him four James Beard Awards and made him one of the most successful hosts in the history of Food TV.
