“Bizarre Foods” host Andrew Zimmern has been axed from prime time on the Travel Channel amid the controversy over his assertion that Chinese food in the Midwest is being served in “horses--t restaurants.”

The celebrity chef’s “Bizarre Foods” juggernaut franchise and sister show, “The Zimmern List,” have been bumped by network owner Discovery, Inc. into a graveyard rotation slot on Saturday mornings to run their course, Page Six has confirmed.

Filming has stopped on both shows midseason, sources tell us, and is not expected to continue further.

The move comes after the James Beard Award-winning chef offended the Asian-American community in comments to promote his Midwestern Chinese restaurant chain by saying: “I think I’m saving the souls of all the people from having to dine at these horses--t restaurants masquerading as Chinese food that are in the Midwest.”

His comments sparked outrage, with Ruth Tam writing in the Washington Post, “[He] has the noble cause of ‘saving’ white people from eating bad Chinese food. When Chinese people make Americanized Chinese food for white people, Zimmern calls it ‘horses--t.’ But when he does it, it’s ‘unique.’”

Eater also fumed, “Zimmern simultaneously denigrates Philip Chiang ... and elevates himself to the position of being the person capable of opening middle America’s eyes to the myriad regional cuisines of a vast, diverse culture.”

Eating humble pie, Zimmern responded, “I am completely responsible for what I said and I want to apologize to anyone who was offended.”

A Travel Channel rep insisted Zimmern wasn’t given the chop because of his insensitive comments, but admitted his remaining episodes have been relegated, saying, “The shows, along with other food content on Travel, will no longer air on prime time, but on Saturday mornings in rotation. This decision came before Andrew’s comments were made.”

It is believed Zimmern’s shows on the Cooking Channel and the Food Network will continue as scheduled.

His rep didn’t get back to us.

A New York based food personality wouldn't have gotten in the same trouble, the reason he's in this situation is that, despite being from NYC, he's been living in Minnesota for the last 30-some years, has a lot of longstanding relationships with Minnesota restaurant owners, and got help and advice for his new venture FROM the same group of people he just shat on.

It's one thing to fling shit at people you've never seen before but he threw shit in his friend's faces and was too oblivious to understand how his comments would be received.

On top of which, his new restaurant is by his own admission an Asian Fusion joint, so he's actually doing the exact same thing that he derided when Chinese people did it 50 years ago.

>>11679097
You should read the interviews with the Chinese restauranteurs in his community, they said they have no problem with him running a restaurant, they just felt that his comments were out of line and disrespectful.

>>11679105

Some guy tried it in Shitcago and ended up committing suicide, I forgot the name.

Also, there have been attempts in Minnesota but they've always been shut down almost immediately. Aquavit comes to mind, in downtown Minneapolis. There was also a New Nordic joint that they tried to run in the Linden Hills area, that was closed within a year because the food was too weird and the wine list wasn't just battle-axe Napa cabernets recommended by Robert Parker.

There actually is decent quality Americhinese food, much like there's good quality Indian food and good quality blueberry wine.

The problem is the target audiences for these products are usually broke alcoholics, so it's not particularly common to actually encounter them in the field. At the higher end for food and beverage, the target audience needs to be reminded that they're not eating "like those other people" so stuff like General Tso's is simply not on the menu at all. Or in the case of the blueberry wine, they switch to grapes and it's estate bottled and has a nice old timey label and the wine expresses "varietal character" as codified by some chateau 7000 miles away.

How many people have literally lost jobs over comments like these? Is that really justice? You can't express yourself honestly without offending someone, it will just happen at some point or another.

> the reactions to Zimmern's comments are more reserved, a mixture of forgiveness, frustration and the kind of resignation that comes, perhaps, from hearing one too many authenticity hounds bad-mouth your menu. At David Fong's, a Chinese American landmark in Bloomington, third-generation restaurateur Edward Fong says Zimmern was simply trying to distance Lucky Cricket from previous generations' efforts to integrate Chinese cooking into their communities. Fong views Zimmern's remarks as little more than self-interested, poorly conceived marketing.

>“I think he understands that he didn’t just insult Chinese independent restaurants like ourselves,” Fong says, “but he really insulted people who like to come to our restaurants, which is a lot of people.” Then he allows himself a good laugh, perhaps a last one.

So I guess white people can't talk back when another white person disparages their own taste in food? Imagine being this fragile.

Now you're just being silly. There are a number of classic pairings that date back to the days before restaurants in the modern sense were even a thing.
>Getting pretentious about a scam is silly.
This explains everything. It's pretentious to you, which means you can't afford going out and having wine with dinner, so doing so would be a pretentious gesture for you. That's fine, but you have to remember there are plenty of folks out there for whom it's an indulgence, but not the least bit pretentious. For those folks it's not a scam at all. It's just accepting the markup of drinking wine out, and appreciating the fact that many of the better places where you can have someone who curates the wine list and the staff can make intelligent recommendations when it comes to pairing the list with the menu.

I understand that in parts of the country that have been traditionally beer drinking wine has not only been traditionally associated with either snobs or bums, but more recently it's been a symbol of something people who have newly arrived in the part of the middle class that likes to think of itself of the upper middle class drink. So those drinking it for aspirational reasons are pretentious, but those drinking it to celebrate the fact they have arrived are not.

I remember back in the late 80's through the 90's there were awesome Chinese restaurants, small independently owned places, that, sure, had some "Americanized" items, but each place was different and had actual Chinese people working there.

About 10 years ago the best Chinese restaurant in my hometown, the immigrant owners retired and turned the place over to their U.S. citizen daughter (that lives out in Nevada) who's turned the place into just another McChinese food place staffed by Mexican't shits.

Experience stay where it is, or stay close to home. Out in the Midwest and where ever else there arent as many Chinese and contrary to popular belief not every Chinese can do Americanized Chinese Food.

Zimmerman sounds a like faggot and has manner that of a faggot as well; this is just his true fagotry nature exposed to the world to see. Most likely nothing aint gonna happen cause Asian dont chimpout over trivial shit. It'll die down in a a week or so, and The Food Network will just reinstate his stupid ass back. Now, if this was some sacred niggery taboo shit then he would end up like Paula Deen.

Oh and PF Chang is dogshit; I'd rather eat at Panda Express. At least Panda doesnt pretend to be upscale monkey shit. Even then Panda Express is still pretty shit.

>Thinking he wouldnt have gotten away with it if say he was asian and said that about other asian restaurants

Its completely about identity politics you fucking idiot. His only saving grace is he's jewish. If he were less theyd throw his ass out and people would jave implied it was racially motivated.

Shut the fuck up. "It has nothing to with with his race but everything to do with calling their food shit." Like hell it doesnt. Discovery moved him to cover their own ass so they dont have deal with a leftist identitarian shitfit.

>His comments sparked outrage, with Ruth Tam writing in the Washington Post, “[He] has the noble cause of ‘saving’ white people from eating bad Chinese food. When Chinese people make Americanized Chinese food for white people, Zimmern calls it ‘horses--t.’ But when he does it, it’s ‘unique.’”

Just another example of Midwestern whities getting assblasted because they have a terrible food culture.
