[via press release from Travel Channel] TRAVEL CHANNEL CHECKS OFF A SECOND SEASON OF 'THE ZIMMERN LIST' WITH CULINARY EXPLORER ANDREW ZIMMERN

NEW YORK - (May 7, 2018) - Travel Channel's new hit series, "The Zimmern List," hosted by one of the world's most well-traveled food explorers, Andrew Zimmern, has been picked up for a second season. In the series, Zimmern shares his personal recommendations on the food, and places where, he most loves to eat. With the greenlight of 16 new half-hour episodes, he continues as the ultimate tour guide. Since its premiere in March, "The Zimmern List" is among Travel Channel's highest rated series, posting double digit rating increases year over year. It has been seen by more than 10 million total viewers. Production on the new season begins in June.

"This show is really very personal to me, but also very easy for fans to duplicate," said Zimmern. "It's about being really friendly and making it actionable. When I'm living with an African tribe, traveling by boat, not very many people are able to do that. In 'The Zimmern List,' anyone can go and do what I'm doing."

"While Andrew has been known for years for his adventurous palate, with 'The Zimmern List,' in every scene, viewers experience the food and restaurants he truly loves," said Jane Latman, general manager, Travel Channel. "This series showcases the places and people Andrew seeks out when he wants to enjoy the most delicious food. He is an incredible and wholly entertaining guide."
The freshman season of "The Zimmern List" continues in premiere episodes through June 26 on Tuesday nights at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. On May 8, Zimmern starts his Chicago food tour with Windy City classics like hot dogs and deep-dish pizza. Then he drops by other local hot spots including one of the best barbecue joints and a restaurant with three Michelin stars.

"The Zimmern List" is produced by Intuitive Content for Travel Channel. For Intuitive Content, the executive producers are Patrick Weiland and Andrew Zimmern. For Travel Channel, the executive producer is Charles Nordlander, Jane Latman is general manager and Henry Schleiff is group president of Investigation Discovery, Travel Channel, American Heroes Channel and Destination America.

[via press release from Travel Channel] CULINARY EXPLORER ANDREW ZIMMERN REVEALS HIS PICKS FOR THE ULTIMATE FOOD EXPERIENCES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN TRAVEL CHANNEL'S 'THE ZIMMERN LIST'

Hot Spots in Los Angeles and Austin, Texas Revealed in Back-to-Back Premiere Episodes on Tuesday, March 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT

NEW YORK (Feb.13, 2018) - As one of one of the world's most well-traveled food explorers, Travel Channel host Andrew Zimmern is an expert on all the best things to eat in a city. Now, in the new series "The Zimmern List," premiering with back-to-back episodes on Tuesday, March 13 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, Zimmern is sharing his personal recommendations on the food and places where he most loves to eat. In each of the 18 half-hour episodes, Zimmern literally serves as the viewers guide to each town he visits. While immersed in the unique food culture, he reveals some of his favorite eating experiences. Throw out the guidebooks because Zimmern knows where to picnic with a sandwich from his favorite Italian deli in Boston and where to find the best taco truck for casual late-night dining in Las Vegas.

"This is the most personal show I've ever made, including taking the audience to the restaurant in San Francisco I swore to never reveal for fear of it becoming too popular," said Zimmern. "Hidden gems, cult classics, they're all there."

In the premiere episode, Zimmern spotlights Los Angeles, where a new generation of young chefs are doing some of the best cooking in America right now. Zimmern enjoys extraordinary Thai food at Night + Market Song, and then marvels at a food empire based on the concept of toast at Sqirl. Zimmern also doesn't forget classic dishes like the #19 hot pastrami sandwich at Langer's Deli and the brioche breakfast sandwich at Grand Central Market's Eggslut. He finishes up his trip by checking out one of Los Angeles' hottest restaurants, Kismet, where the chefs put a personal twist on Middle Eastern fare.

The second stop of the night is Austin - home to incredible musicians and makers, and Franklin Barbecue, where they serve up the best barbecue brisket in the world. Next, he's off to Fresa's for its fresh take on Mexican food and to Guero's for live music and great tacos. Austin is home to several food trailer parks and Zimmern makes a stop at one of them - 5000 Burnet - where he tries out a few dishes like the poke bowl at Big Kahuna and chilaquiles from Tita's. Before leaving town, Zimmern checks in at Ramen Tatsu-ya for a hip-hop twist on a Japanese classic and Stubb's Bar-B-Q for the perfect combination of music and meat.
