 Bizarre Foods is back but this season chef, writer, and culinary explorer Andrew Zimmern is ditching his passport because he’s discovered that some of the strangest foods and most colorful characters in the world are right here in the good old USA. As always, Andrew explores what the locals eat and this season he’ll get a taste of the unique foods and local traditions that can be found in our own backyard.

Bizarre Foods America celebrates the out-of-the-ordinary cuisine and characters that are found all across the United States. From traditional foods passed down by immigrants to modern dishes born and bred by American innovation, the US is a melting pot of cultures both exotic and familiar. Whether it’s whole roasted alligator in Cajun country, shots of chicken blood at a farm outside Seattle or lamb tongue at one of Beantown’s priciest restaurants, America is a treasure trove of bizarre foods and fascinating stories. Who best to explore this red, white and bizarre smorgasbord than Andrew Zimmern, the master of cultural cuisine?

This season,  Bizarre Foods will celebrate its 100th episode as it explores the quirky subcultures, the enduring traditions and the unusual ways we feed ourselves in America. From forward thinking innovators that challenge the way we view food to traditionalists keeping the old ways alive,  Bizarre Foods America will explore the cutting edge and the I-can’t-believe-they-still-do-it-the-old-fashioned-way. So whether it’s pig uterus hot dish in the Twin Cities or muskrat pate in the Motor City, Andrew’s advice remains the same; “If it looks good, eat it!”
