‘BIZARRE FOODS’ WITH ANDREW ZIMMERN RETURNS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 23 AT 9 P.M. ET/PT WITH A LARGER-THAN-LIFE TREK DOWN THE PAUL BUNYAN TRAIL

Andrew Zimmern, host of Travel Channel’s “Bizarre Foods” gets in touch with his inner Paul Bunyan in his adopted home state of Minnesota.

Andrew Zimmern embarks on an epicurean exploration to reveal the food and stories behind notable characters, cultures and mythology in the new season of Travel Channel’s “Bizarre Foods” with Andrew Zimmern. Premiering on Tuesday, January 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the seven-episode season is a celebration of Zimmern’s boundless appetite for culinary history and its cultural impact on a location. From episode to episode, he plunges into the history of the Aztecs in Mexico; traces Napoleon’s march through Poland; and examines the folklore behind North America’s most storied personalities including Don Juan De Onate, Jesse James and Paul Bunyan.

“This season’s adventures proved to be some of our most epic,” says Zimmern, “to follow in Napoleon’s footsteps through Poland allows for cultural and culinary discoveries you would never have any other way. From the North Woods of the fabled Paul Bunyan to the Mexico City of the Aztecs, this is one of the most exciting seasons we’ve ever made.”

In the season premiere, Zimmern explores his adopted home state of Minnesota by following along the Paul Bunyan Trail. As he discovers more about the larger-than-life logger, he samples the beloved food of Bunyan’s northern Minnesota – including muskrat with gravy, duck stew and bear pastrami. Zimmern also partakes in a horseradish harvest, a traditional crockpot-filled potluck party that celebrates Minnesotan culture and a crayfish boil that proves to be a delicious solution to the state’s crustacean invasion.

A four-time James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, writer and teacher, Andrew Zimmern is regarded as one of the most versatile and knowledgeable personalities in the food world.

Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas to Launch Eat With Six Senses

An approach to food where guests leave feeling better than when they arrived

BANGKOK – December 14, 2017 – Pick up your forks and rejoice. Eating and holidays go hand in hand, and now guests can enjoy both without derailing their health goals thanks to fresh whole food that is nutritious and delicious.

Eat With Six Senses represents another pillar of the Six Senses Integrated Wellness philosophy focusing on food and drink. It is based on the guiding principles of natural ingredients, local and sustainable, and less is more, helping guests to reconnect with food safe in the knowledge that it’s good for them, and good for the world around them.

Natural ingredients
Six Senses chooses a cleaner and simpler approach to preparation, focusing on quality, balance and fresh whole food made from scratch. Chefs indulge their love for hearty and healthy menus full of color, taste and joy, while unapologetically avoiding the bad stuff (flavor enhancers, lectins, lactose, gluten and sugar). Instead they choose the ingredients and preparation methods that promote a healthy microbiome (the trillions of tiny gut buddies living in the body) to offer better digestion and absorption of nutrients while boosting the immune system. Glucose is out, fermenting is in!

Local and sustainable
It is essential to know what’s in food and where it’s from, and each Six Senses resort is reinforcing its relationships with local farmers, producers and suppliers, who are committed to responsible sourcing and seasonality. Imported seafood could be farm raised with antibiotics and growth hormones. By working closely with local producers, Six Senses is assuring that ethical practices in raising animals and avoiding at-risk species are adhered to.

Even closer to home, each Six Senses resort cultivates its own organic vegetable garden, one property already has its own free-range chicken farm to supply fresh eggs and two resorts have established mushroom huts.

Less is more
Produce that has traveled a long distance is often gassed, irradiated and preserved with wax or exposed to toxic packaging. At Six Senses, the energy footprint of importing branded drinking water has been eliminated with each resort having its own reverse osmosis plant to produce top quality still and sparkling mineralized water, which is provided to guests in reusable glass bottles.

As deep as people want to go
Guests who typically vacation at Six Senses tend to eat healthier by default. For guests who are curious about Eat With Six Senses and want to discover more about the food and beverage offerings, fitness and wellness activities, they will have the basics for making life changes. While guests who opt for the full Integrated Wellness, including a personalized wellness screening, will reap the total immersion benefits: from fitness plans to Sleep With Six Senses, the wellness experience can be integrated into every aspect of their stay.

Six Senses Integrated Wellness was developed in collaboration with Dr. Steven Gundry, Dr. Michael Breus, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Patrick Wahlberg, members of Six Senses Wellness Board, highly respected doctors and leading wellness professionals.

According to Dr. Steven Gundry, American cardiac surgeon and founder of The Center for Restorative Medicine, “With the introduction of Eat With Six Senses, guests not only eat well, they feel better. They are also supported with valuable tools and information to help them make positive lasting life adjustments. To put it in a nutshell, Six Senses want guests to leave feeling better than when they arrived.”

Eat With Six Senses will also have a positive outcome for the resort’s hosts, as the philosophy will be implemented in all employee dining outlets. It will create an internal culture of health and wellness through healthier meal choices as well as provide knowledge to support the well-being of hosts and their families.

Eat With Six Senses will have a positive effect on guests, hosts and Mother Nature alike.

Kamiesha Garbadawala (b. 1977, Westmoreland, Jamaica) worked as a designer at fashion houses Ralph Lauren, Celine, Henri Bendel, and launched a celebrated line of handbags with Barneys, before she was compelled by a set of personal tragedies to begin anew. Garbadawala’s creative passion has reemerged and flourishes as the energetic and gestural works resulting from her meditative, stream-of-consciousness paintings, which she says:

“Explore the emotions which ebb and flow within [my] day-to-day as a wife, mother and creative. Amidst the constant noise that is New York City living, there is security found within a world created and controlled by my own hand.”

The Parsons graduate has exhibited as a part of SVA’s Summer Residency and Open Studios and Creative Mischief by the National Academy Museum, and has garnered praise and awards from ArtSlant (Showcase Winner) as well as Bombay Sapphire Artisan Series (Semi-Finalist, “Eden”). She was recently selected for a solo exhibition in New York City to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Garbadawala’s work can be found in private collections across the country and, most recently, at SCOPE Art Basel Miami Beach with ArtePonte (Booth B33).
