If our weather holds out and we don't get anything worse than a little wind and maybe a little rain, I am making my first visit to Patty and Franks. Must check out the entire food hall. I have been reading about all of the new food halls opening up in Atlanta. One in Dunwoody ,and another inside Phipps Plaza. They're the nearest to me. but I am doing Krog Street and Ponce City markets perhaps next weekend. But Patty and Franks is my FIRST stop. Can't wait.
Ever since its' debut November 1, 2006 (pilot episodes) then the series episode on Monday, February 6, 2007, at 9pm ET/PT. was a grand day in Culinary television!!! I still watch, set for "series record" voilà... There became a time, when you went from on being at each destination, doing the sampling of bazaar foods... yet somewhere around 2015-16 you stopped being there and you became just a narrator, that's when I thought you might be having health issues???
I watched a lot of travel channel food shows initially, then notice, you were narraying various segment from Food Paradise episodes... eventually I figured you be back in person doing the shows again... 2015-16 not back, 2017 not back, 2018 not back, thus I began to think, "Your not a light eater, and we all watch you indulge, thus perhaps your doctor recommended a food sabbatical...???
It would be tremendous if you did a reboot of Bazaar Foods, call it "Bazaar Foods" Reloaded"... yet I truly enjoy all your shows, Bizarre Foods / Bizarre Foods America / Bizarre Foods Delicious / Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre World +plus The Zimmern List which was terrific!! Watching you interact with others diners, same is true about Family Dinners, heart warming interaction and the remminising, it wonderful... yet Magnolia Network SNAFU'd that moving it from Sundays to Saturdays, idiots... Family Dinners usually is a "Sunday" family affair... I would never thought they'd move-it to Saturdays, mrons...
The Big Food Truck Tip was fabulous, and I'll bet that was one of your favorites show creations... here's a few lesser know or remembered, Andrew Zimmern's Driven by Food, Dining with Death, I've watched them'all, which will always be the case...
The reason I continue to "series record" is because your narration is truly wonderfully colourful and riddled with interesting fact & trivia, +plus your fantastic memories from being there before, or a place very similar trigging other memories... couple that with the fact of your openness & empathetic nature, that why you became one of my mentors, thanks for that...
Someday, if you get sidetracked and end-up in Milwaukee, perhaps we could hoist a couple brews & have the original, genuine Butter Burger @ Solly's Grille, a JB Awarded, "An American Classic" award... I saw your Culver's video tweet... Culver's can barely shine in the light of Solly's...
Love how you write and share, and slip in that "Mom"s cast iron skillet" reference. With the kind of exposure your palate gets, That's Another thing I don't understand How you do - Choosing YOUR fave must have All kinds of parameters we don't know about.
What Exactly is it that makes those Beef Joints stand out so far it is the Most Memorable?
I have resisted posting my opinion because of fear. I adore Andrew and couldn't bring myself to comment on Patty's and Franks. But the sting of my visit is no longer burning so enough time has passed. There wasn't much to love or like there. My double hamburger with cheese was so dry and over cooked the meat was terrible and the swiss cheese between the patties was neither visible or tasty. The caramelized onions were very good. The onion rings were not crisp and when I bit into the hamburger, the onion came out without the shell. The hot dog was a shriveled dog with not a lick of juice in it. The toppings were good but not worth what it costs. Cheaper to go to Skips Chicago Dogs for a lot less and enjoy the snap. No sugar free soda so I bought it elsewhere. All of this for just over $27.00. It is novel now but when everyone has tried it for it for them selves, there would not be much reason to go back.

“I like having hands.” 🤣
Will there be more of the Zimmern List at any point?
Love that I get to watch you be a judge on TOC! And with Guarnascelli and Silverton no less 🤯 I am TEAM SWEET T!

Always best regards,
Dupont Farmers Market is one of my favorite stops in DC....such a tremendous local food scene.
Yes, please don't eat your hands.....they're rather nice.
Today I sat next to some women from MN at lunch....they tell me I should check out the State Fair this year. Where's my girl, Holly??? Let's go!
AND, I had a burger today, which I do maybe twice per year. It was just what I needed.
Glad to see you in DC!! Absolutely loved Bizarre Foods and love what you're doing now!
I love a bison burger. Do you have a certain type of meat you use to make a good burger at home? Would love to see a video!
Hi Andrew
We are a composite of our lives
for me it was an Italian Grandma that
I saw infrequently but her love and
sharing food she made was huge
Another Grandma, Swedish, much more
love time but same ways of making
something out of nothing from depression
times. The common denominator was the
love of family and neighbor that I saw
For me, I see we need to get back to
love, not just of the sustenance that we
crave but for what we can share to bring
love in our community. Doesn't have to
be fancy. Enough of my take!😊
Grateful for your journey and sharing!
