‘The Zimmern List,’ My New Series on Travel Channel, Starts Production Next Week!

I’ve devoted a lifetime to gathering the best food experiences all over the world. From iconic restaurants to off-the-beaten-path markets and shops, I’m adding to my ‘best of’ list everywhere I go. The new series is about more than just delicious food on the plate. It’s all about the unique and special experience of the city, the restaurant or food stall where that dish is being served, and most importantly, the people. I can’t wait to share these memorable food experiences with you.
