Three-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, food writer and culinary explorer Andrew Zimmern believes the best way to explore a city is to get to know the locals and, in Travel Channel’s new series, “Andrew Zimmern’s Driven By Food,” premiering Tuesday, August 16 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, the first local he usually meets is his cab driver. Hosted and executive produced by Zimmern, the new series turns to neighborhood drivers to set the itinerary. Never staying in the backseat for long, Zimmern and his new guide – whether it’s a cab driver in the South, a shikara driver in Kashmir or a gondolier in Venice – take viewers on an entertaining behind-the-scenes, insider’s adventure to check out off-the-grid dives, regional eats and local activities.
