Andrew Zimmern is coming home -- in more ways than one. Travel Channel announced Monday that the locally based TV personality will star in "Bizarre Foods America," a new series that's an offshoot of "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern." As the title suggests, Zimmern will tuck away his passport and concentrate on meals here in the USA, starting with the Twin Cities.
Among the adventures in the premiere: Judging a cookoff at a local VFW, going bow fishing for carp, snagging a snapping turtle for a deep-fried dish and trying dishes made with meat glue. Naturally, the Jucy Lucy will also be making a cameo. Zimmern will also be traveling to Austin, Boston, Las Vegas and New Orleans.
The Travel Channel series launches at 8 p.m. Jan. 24.
