Three-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, writer and teacher Andrew Zimmern prowls for unique tastes and brilliant edible ideas to star on his Travel Channel “Bizarre Foods” shows. We’ve caught a video of him in an out-of-the-bizarre-box moment, showing off grilling skills in That Moment When Andrew Zimmern Uses a KUDU At Home. The multitasking KUDU Grill handily manages rack of lamb (which Zimmern admits can be daunting to grill) alongside eggplant and leeks. Zimmern pulls the swift cooking veggies, converting them into a Mediterranean salad while the lamb sizzles its way to succulent perfection. Who knows what Zimmern will grill, sauté, sear, fry, boil, steam, roast or smoke next on his open-fire KUDU. The intuitive and straightforward cooking process is simple to master, and the grill packs and sets up effortlessly so you can take it with you to barbecues, tailgate parties or into your own backyard.

On a mission to find the best chicken and waffles in
Atlanta, Travel Channel’s Chow
Master hosts, chef Sam Demarco and director Frank Coraci,
headed to 10th
& Piedmont. Coming hot out the kitchen was
executive chef Javier Viera’s spin on the dish. Paired with a dipping trio of
hot sauce, powdered sugar and North Georgia sorghum syrup, Viera marinated
chicken breast on a stick, wrapped it in applewood smoked bacon, submerged the entire thing
into homemade waffle batter and then fried it to a perfect golden crisp. After
competing against some of the best, 10th and Piedmont took home the title for
tastiest fried chicken in Atlanta and won the $10,000 prize! Catch the Chow
Masters Hotlanta Chicken episode and then head to
10th and Piedmont and try the winning dish available on the lunch, dinner and weekend brunch menus!
