The wealth of Iron Chef adjudicator Andrew Zimmern

Supposedly, he earned $35,000 per episode of Bizarre Foods. Zimmern, who was reared in a Jewish household, began formal culinary training at age 14.

After graduating from Vassar College, he worked as an executive chef or general manager at the finest restaurants in New York City.

He began his career as a chef de cuisine at Cafe Un Deux Trois in the Foshay Tower in Minneapolis. After four and a half years of service, he resigned in 1997.

His café cuisine was lauded by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, Minnesota Monthly, and Mpls.St.Paul Magazine. After quitting the eatery, he moved on to other eateries and food-related activities.

He joined Food Works, Inc., a company that produced food-related content, in 1997. In addition, it “manages collaborations such as public appearances, sponsorships, and charitable initiatives.”

In 2012, Zimmern launched his food truck, AZ Canteen, with the following items on the menu:

“From dulce de leche shaved ice from Nicaragua to Cabrito sausage grinders made with an all-natural ruminant blend by Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors.”

The chef is also the author of a novel. The Bizarre Truth: Culinary Misadventures Around the Globe, Andrew Zimmern’s Bizarre World of Food: Brains, Bugs, and Blood Sausage, and Andrew Zimmern’s Field Guide to Exceptionally Bizarre, Wild are among his many works.

Zimmern also sells spice mixes and seasonings, including, among others, Moroccan Moon, Mexican Fiesta, and Mediterranean Magic. His merchandise is manufactured and distributed by Badia Spices. In November 2018, he founded Lucky Cricket in St. Louis Park, Minnesota.
