Before the rise of bite-sized content and algorithm-driven storytelling, there were creators who built worlds through patience, curiosity, and craft. In this conversation, award-winning chef and storyteller Andrew Zimmern reflects on his journey from kitchens to global screens, tracing how food became his medium for cultural connection and understanding. Through the lens of Bizarre Foods, he shares what it means to be an “original creator” in a pre-social-media era, the lessons learned from decades of travel and storytelling, and how today’s creators can rediscover depth, empathy, and intention in a world addicted to speed.
