Andrew Zimmern is back in the kitchen, and this time he’s tackling a protein that doesn’t often make it to the average dinner table: bison. On this Saturday’s episode of “Andrew Zimmern’s Wild Game Kitchen” on FYI, the culinary adventurer turns his attention to this lean meat, showing viewers two distinct ways to prepare it.
First up, Zimmern creates a Bolognese sauce, a classic comfort food given a wild game twist with ground bison. It’s a clever use of the meat, suggesting that even familiar dishes can get a flavorful upgrade with a different kind of protein.
Then, he takes the bison in a completely different direction, preparing a taco feast. The twist? A tamarind marinade, which should lend a sweet and sour counterpoint to the richness of the bison. It speaks to Zimmern’s willingness to blend global flavors with traditional ingredients.
If you’re tired of the usual chicken and beef, Zimmern’s focus on uncommon proteins offers plenty of inspiration. This episode, airing Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 9:00 PM ET on FYI, looks set to deliver both creative recipes and Zimmern’s signature passion for unique ingredients.
