Something’s Burning: Andrew Zimmern and Antonia Lofaso Talk Food, Fame, and Flavor | S7 E2

About this episode

Bert cooks for chefs Andrew Zimmern and Antonia Lofaso while discussing food trends and kitchen experiences.

I’m cooking for two people who actually know what they’re doing in the kitchen, so obviously I make chicken schnitzel with an apple fennel salad and a blue cheese olive tapenade thing that somehow really worked. We get into everything from Food Network and travel shows to burger trends, bread options and Andrew has me fully spiraling about salmonella. This one is chaotic, super food nerdy, and one of my favorite hangs in a while. New episodes of Andrew Zimmern’s Wild Game Kitchen premiere on May 25th during Grill Week on Tastemade. https://www.tastemade.com/shows/wild-game-kitchen Follow Andrew: https://www.instagram.com/chefaz Antonia: https://www.instagram.com/chefantonia Sponsors: Everything420 - https://upf.ai/8l07uvec Magic Spoon - You can get $5 off your next order, including the Protein Pastries, at https://MagicSpoon.com/BURNING.
