Andrew Zimmern: TV Chef on the Psychology of Food, Flavors, and Cultural Tolerance Through Food

In episode # 26 of podcast Get Psyched! with Dr. Seth, psychologist Dr. Seth Meyers sits down with Emmy-winning and four-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef and food advocate Andrew Zimmern. Together, they discuss the psychology behind food preferences and flavors, the fine line between craft and art in cooking, and why chefs are becoming powerful voices for social change. Dr. Seth asks whether the reputation of chefs as mercurial personalities is fair and what sense Zimmern makes of the label “artisanal” being slapped these days on seemingly every product at the supermarket. Zimmern discusses the science of supertasters, how our approach to food reflects our openness to the world, and why the language we use around food truly matters. Whether you're a curious eater or a culinary connoisseur, this episode will leave you inspired to think—and taste—differently.
