Andrew Zimmern is likely best known to the general public for his Travel Channel shows “Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern” and his Emmy-winning “The Zimmern List” But that’s just scratching the surface. He’s a renowned chef with bestselling books, media companies, shows, retail products, a retail food line and so much more.
On February 13, Zimmern is set to speak at the Addiction and Recovery Lecture Series at Horry-Georgetown Technical College. He’s been sober since 1992 and remains active in the recovery and mental health communities. He serves on the boards of several recovery organizations.
Roger has been covering series founder and organizer Casey King for many years and on various platforms. We also spoke to him on this podcast. The 2025 Addiction and Recovery Lecture series is installment number 18. Unfortunately, this will be the last. Casey’s wrapping things up and will also be retiring next year.
