Andrew, as a kid did you ever eat Spam, baloney sandwiches, vienna sausages, potted meat, or any other cheap food that was forced upon us by our parents that you now hate? My #1 on that list is that canned half pear topped with mayonnaise and cheddar cheese. That thing passed for our desserts about 5 out of 7 days. This might be just a Southern thing, though. PS--I sent you an email with a short story you might like attached.
Thank you for the insightful answer to food trends. Why was I expecting the word “ air fryer” to come up? 😂. As someone who has been battling a serious health issue for years, I’m a carnivore who had to course correct & help heal myself thru food. I have mad respect for those who cook with beautiful produce and let it be the star. So many are still masking veggies in…well…other stuff. I am loving the challenge of cooking not just for pleasure but with intention. Beautiful produce & most anything that pops out of a sea or lake…that’s a trend I’m pretty happy about.
That is so true about people needing to differentiate between the people in various countries and the governments. I’ve always naturally done that. When I was little and in school the teachers kept telling us how terrible the Russians were and I wasn’t buying it. Now my daughter is hearing things about countries that are in the news now and I always tell her that it’s not the people, most people are good, it’s the government
Andrew, we’re planning a return trip to Germany (fingers crossed) in the fall. We usually avoid tours, but are interested in a food experience in a private home. Can you recommend a site or person for us to contact? We will be in Munich, Oberwesel (for the wine festival), and Cologne.
Andrew, as a guy who wants to grow a beard but is unlucky in that respect - keep it!! From someone who is interested in cooking and perhaps dreams of owning a restaurant someday. What would you say to someone looking to improve their skills? Focus on ONE thing and do it to perfection or experiment in as many styles as you can until you're comfortable in almost any situation?
Hi Andrew. Thanks for answering my question last week. Of course, I have another. Your new show, Family Dinner, is one of the best shows I've ever seen that promotes different cultures through their food and I just LOVE it! Will you be doing more of them? Thanks!

2 part ?: When you had no money, what food did you eat that you liked and could afford? Do you still eat it now?

Program idea Travel Channel might go for, "Haunted by Food". Seriously, I preferred when their travel was not inter dimensional.

Where are the best places to eat in Wichita Kansas
Hi, is sous vide just a passing fad? Same question for Instant Pot, air fryers and culinary foams.
If you were to restart Bizarre Foods, where is the first place you would go that you didn't do an episode on in the first run?
Hi Andrew! Julia Child may have informed your love of cooking. What food from that era, do you think needs to make a revival?

Andrew you didn't name the Indian restaurant in Minneapolis
Andrew. Been watching you since the first episode of Bizarre Foods. But please, lose the beard.
