This week, we’re re-airing one of our favorite interviews featured on Heart of the Matter with Elizabeth Vargas. In addition to being a chef and TV host, Andrew Zimmern is also in long-term recovery. In this episode, he discusses how the support from family and friends changed his life, the joys of being in recovery for more than 29 years and “writing his own syllabus for life.” 

If you liked this episode of Heart of the Matter, be sure to subscribe and tune in again in two weeks for Elizabeth’s interview with fellow chef in recovery, Gregory Gourdet.
