"What's Eating America" new MSNBC show with

Andrew Zimmern.

https://www.msnbc.com/whatseatingamerica

"In each episode, Andrew Zimmern travels the country to see first-hand the impact these critical issues– immigration, climate change, addiction, voting rights and healthcare– have on food and the everyday lives of Americans. What’s Eating America premieres Sunday, February 16 at 9PM ET on MSNBC with a special two-hour long episode featuring fellow award-winning chef and humanitarian José Andrés."

I read Zimmern's political statements along with his cooking demos, etc on his Twitter account and he is a hard core Dem. I'm looking forward to seeing him with Chef Jose too.

would be if a GOP supporter pops up and tries to give their 2 cents.

a few years ago and did nothing with him. I wish they had because he would have been great for the network.

Sounds like he and other chef's are trying to fill the void that Anthony Bourdain left...
And that's a big hole to fill.. Marcus Samuelsson comes to mind. He travels around to different countrys and comments about the people, their struggle and their food... To me he is more in the Bourdain mold than any other of these wanna be's... His last one about the Armenian diaspora ant their genocide was a keeper... Never knew about the Armenian population in Glendale CA...
