Culinary icon Andrew Zimmern talks about being a birthday week person and what he feels will define the next decade of his life. He shares why he is optimistic about the ever-evolving world and the importance of elevating others to create equity before responding to a statement about being a human food encyclopedia and why he somewhat disagrees with it. He talks through his childhood in New York City and how fear, trauma and too much freedom shaped his perspective. Andrew reminisces on memories traveling the world with his late father and the myriad of cultural experiences he owes to him. He reveals the duplicitous journey to finally pitching a show and panicking to come up with thirty episodes on the spot for Bizarre Foods. Andrew describes the personal premise of his new program, Family Dinner, and why a lifelong desire to be a part of a family drove him to create it. Andrew talks about the mythical, magical power of food to bring people together before settling the great debate - is a hotdog a sandwich?
