Prepping for the Foodie Experience

andrew zimmernIt's almost here. The third Foodie Experience at the Hippodrome Theatre happens Saturday. There's still time to get tickets.

Andrew Zimmern, pictured, who recently won a James Beard Award for his Bizarre Foods show on the Travel Channel, will be the guest speaker. He's on a national tour, and if you'd like to find out what he told foodrepublic.com after his appearance at the Austin Food and Wine Festival, you can watch the video here.

I don't know if he'll cover the same topics: Anthony Bourdain and No Reservations, baseball (not the O's), and bizarre foods, of course, but it's worth checking out.

Zimmern will go on stage at 6 p.m. tomorrow. Before that, dozens of Baltimore's top restaurants and food trucks will be feeding ticket holders, starting at 3 p.m.

The weather should be gorgeous for this food fest. Wear expandable clothing or your fat jeans. I plan to. See you there.
