New Season Premieres Tuesday, June 21 at 9:00 P.M. ET/PT

NEW YORK (May 16, 2016) - Three-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, food writer and culinary explorer Andrew Zimmern is back in the 10th season of Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods" with Andrew Zimmern. Hosted and executive produced by Zimmern, the new season of "Bizarre Foods" features eight all-new, hour-long episodes premiering on Tuesday, June 21 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT. Throughout this season, Zimmern continues his worldwide quest to taste unique foods in every corner of the globe. Whether it's braving the Atlantic seas in an African fishing canoe, deboning poisonous sea snakes or stuffing a pig's appendix, Zimmern knows the best way to explore other cultures is by sharing food.

"Everyone in the world loves to eat," says Andrew Zimmern. "I can also safely say that this season is simply stunning and the finest we've ever made."

In the season premiere, Zimmern travels to Madrid and ventures off the beaten path to discover some new spins on some old classics - snail soup, whole baby pig head, rabbit paella and beef fat bonbon. Madrid is just the first stop on Zimmern's culinary adventure that features a wide range of ethnic cuisine in locations around the world. From sheep's brain in Senegal, smoked herring sperm in Sweden to coconut stew with opossum meat in the Bronx, New York, Zimmern is always game to try what the locals eat.
