One-On-One with Andrew Zimmern

Having local food celebrities in town like Andrew Zimmern is a blessing to ambitious food people like me. How so? Because for one thing, Zimmern was kind enough to provide a blurb for my wine book Drink This: Wine Made Simple when he doesn’t even drink! Blurbs like that are critical when it comes to getting the book picked up in bookstores where they’ve never heard of regional names such as mine.

To add gilded sprinkles to the icing on this cake, Zimmern has posted a very long interview with me on his website. Thanks Andrew! Thanks, everyone at Bizarre Foods! Here it is: "5 Qs with Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl."

Shallow, predictable questions. Exactly what one expects from Zimmern.

Always a good read with Dara. I will be trying the Moscato d'Asti very soon.

About This Blog

Dear Dara is the place where Minnesota Monthly readers can interact with our dining critic and senior editor Dara Moskowitz Grumdahl. What makes her so special? She’s been reviewing restaurants and covering food and wine in the Twin Cities since 1995, most notably asCity Pages’ restaurant critic, but also for Gourmet, USA Today, Wine & Spirits, Bon Appetit, and Saveur. She’s been included in five editions of the Best Food Writing anthologies, and been nominated for seven James Beard Awards – though, to tell you the truth, most of the time the medals from her four wins are buried under a pile of chocolate wrappers at the back of her desk. This blog will be where she’ll answer your questions, (though probably not all of them), dish on her latest discoveries, reflect on breaking news, and generally bring the plate to the page.

Send your dining questions to Dara! Email her at dmgrumdahl@minnesotamonthly.com.
