About Episode In this episode of Repertoire with Chef Sammy Monsour, I travel to Saint Louis Park, Minnesota—just outside Minneapolis—to sit down with Andrew Zimmern, the Emmy and four-time James Beard Award–winning chef, writer, television host, and global advocate whose work has redefined how we talk about food. Andrew’s career spans continents and decades: creator and host of Bizarre Foods, What’s Eating America, and Family Dinner; founding member of the Independent Restaurant Coalition and the Coalition for Sustainable Aquaculture (which I’m proud to have co-founded alongside him); and one of the most influential voices using food to foster cultural understanding and social change. We dive into: His new cookbook, The Blue Food Cookbook, coauthored with Barton Seaver, and how aquaculture can help feed a growing planet. The complexities of U.S. seafood policy—from the MARA Act to the future of the blue economy. Why chefs are uniquely positioned to lead conversations about climate, labor, and equity. Lessons from decades of global travel, from artisanal fishing villages in Africa to Indigenous food systems in Alaska. The evolution of food media—from PBS and the early days of Bizarre Foods to the digital storytelling era. His personal Mount Rushmore of culinary icons—Bourdain, Emeril, and Martin Yan among them. And a few unforgettable adventures from the road: maggot cheese in Sardinia, giant scallops in Samoa, and the rare foods that tell stories of place and time. Andrew and I explore food as both joy and justice—a bridge between people, cultures, and the planet itself. Watch the full episode on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
