Andrew Zimmern: Tofu Fail

[hawver7765]

HE LIED TO MRS. CHEW HE SAID IT WAS GOOD AND IT WASNT.

[TheItalianAce89]

ahaha i love this Fail is really LOL :'D

[seanster321]

stinky tofu can actually be pretty good, if you go to the right place... but this is crazy... the stinkiest in the world? why would you do that to yourself. and as for the eggs. those are actually really good. and as for the name, it's just an exaggeration. the eggs have just been fermented for a bit.

[TheVinoThunderbird]

Now I wanna try it. I have had bean curd that tasted like a burnt eraser soaked in ammonia but nothing like what he is describing. Never a dull moment eating food with labels you cant read. He should have tried one of the eggs. That didn't go well for me either.

[MengoMango]

mmm i'm always looking for stinkier stinky tofu, would love to visit that shop some day.

[zdohan]

asians eat the shittest food. Basically she served him the equivalent of shit and called it food. Anyone can do that. Asians need to learn to distinguish between whats food and whats garbage.

[FruityDC]

@zdohan People like you are extremely ignorant. You should see the world before you even open up your mouth. What your narrow culture doesn't consume doesn't mean other culture is wrong. Besides, when you imply the term Asians, you're also including Indians, Chinese, Phillipinos, Thai's, etc and each have a very different distinct culture.

People like you should be shot and barred to procreate.

[zdohan]

@FruityDC sorry and allow me to be more specific in saying SE asia has the shittest food. Im not saying none of it is good but when it comes to foods at the lower end of the taste spectrum they have the ability to blow all other strange cultures' food out of the water. I dont understand how i am ignorant when i say that she served him rotting garbage. That is what she served him and if u want to eat shit like that everyday of the week for the rest of your life, please be my guest and fall ill.

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

@zdohan just fuck off and die, its an acquired taste, your probably one of those babies that think Jcak Daniels is too strong and bitch about it, if you dont like it then dont eat it, but dont go making general remarks about an entire region, little baby

[ardaatalay10]

wtf is tofu man

[rinieusebio]

@ardaatalay10 soy

[loregonbatan]

sometimes he is lieing, im a pro chef and 1000 years egg are not rotten and doesnt taste like rotten, he is always overreacting, and im not the only one saying this!!!

[raeannt]

@loregonbatan He wasn't talking about the 1000 year old eggs. He was talking about the stinky tofu. I don't think he even got to the eggs.

[FireBlueGreenLeafToo]

What's the name of the restaurant, I want to go!

[YeuLaKho]

i can't handle stinky tofu either......... damn like sewage smell

[kimbothebimbo805]

Same here camera man did what I would've done

[triondrummer]

I love how the Camera-Man is pissing himself with Laughter! :D

[plagueking777]

@triondrummer he it made even more funnier

[xhardcorechicx]

I love tofu.

[mastervinh94]

i love sticky tofu

[triondrummer]

@mastervinh94 it´s "stinky tofu".....

[MoreAznThenU]

@ChevalierAguila Rocky Mountain Oysters :D

[aaron19840904]

it looks so good though

[MengoMango]

My favorite foods are durian, stinky tofu, and century eggs... And he managed to drink cow piss!

[ag081506]

i love his show i would not necessary agree with everything he eats but i like to watch him eat

[smartypantzTwak]

tht's like saying "ur food sucked"

[triondrummer]

@smartypantzTwak Taste is a Personal Thing ;-)

[DirtySaltyBug]

I've experienced this. Thumbs up to Andy for doing seconds :p

[Polaf3456]

What a disgrace. If those japanese guys heard him say it tastes rotten he would have gotten his ass kamikazied...

[akuorekelate]

im not impressed because he cant eat DURIAN!!

[sm753]

In fairness, if you watched the whole episode - this is some hardcore stinky tofu...not the stuff you buy off the streets. I love the kind you can buy from street vendors or the kind that come in soup with chili oil...but I don't think I could stomach the stinky tofu he had in that "specialty" shop.

[ben790924]

stinky tofu is very dilicious for me

but creats lots acnes

very high col

[seymourbbest]

Yeah TreeFuzz I bet he's worried to death about losing credibility with some anonymous internet troll.

[boomaga]

I've seen him eat guts and grubs and rotten things and testicles and vesicles and guts and glops and worms and rotten putrid fermented uric-acid-soaked harkarl and raw beating frog hearts and praise them to high heaven, yet THIS stinky tofu is the one thing he can't choke down.

[IBelongToKPOP]

Century eggs . They are just soaked to the bones with preservatives .

[TheChicagoChef]

Hey Andrew, didn't your mother tell you to shut your mouth when you eat? Your a disgusting PIG!

Can someone tell Andrew that the noise that he makes while he is eating is digusting.

THREE WORDS

FAT GROSS PIG!

[ryanruns]

@TheChicagoChef You don't have to watch his show if you don't like how he chews.

[TreeFuzz]

He just lost credibility with me whenever he talks about something tasting disgusting because stinky tofu is like nothing...

[doel89]

@TreeFuzz he did compare it to smelly tofu in shanghai but than again taiwans and hongkong tofu arent that bad. the black smelly tofu in china is really the bad one

[Terralxd]

Thank you soo much my ass

[dorkiesanman]

i like the song in the background

[PitPat23]

I just tried some of this today at a Taiwanese place (seattle) my friend and i are still tasting it. we agreed that is was the worst tasting/smelling (even worse) food we have ever tried. to me it smelled like my grandmother's room in the nursing home.

[kasou01]

is a thousand year old egg, really is a thousand year old?

[MaryRoseSaffron]

MMM thousand yearold egg! ; )

[quantumdude]

Those fucking chinks man, theyll fucking kill ya with their maggot infested food. Best way to contract hepatitis, eat anything chinese.

[SweetMillefeuille]

@quantumdude screw you, who are you to direspect them?

[quantumdude]

@SweetMillefeuille Je t'emmerde toi et ton millefeuille.

[MaryRoseSaffron]

@quantumdude

I've eaten Chinese food all my life, i'm now fine. Don't be racist.

[copypacercopypacer]

@quantumdude fuck u u stupid beaner

[gapedhok]

And this from a man who licks scrotums.....

[hotleafjuice1410]

guys, maybe THIS PARTICULAR CHEF can't fix stinky tofu. If you watch the entire show, you will see that he liked the stinky tofu served on the streets. No comments on how you think he's nuts cuz he doesnt like stinky tofu.

[selamawitee]

lmao i shouldnt watch this while eating... bleh

[tsnowice]

At least this from Taiwan, not from China, the way they made was pretty disgusting.

[xBBOYx9OHx]

brother, i dun blame u....

im originally from TW nd i still cant handle tht shit at all!!!

[emilyemily7921]

Mmm the tofu with thousand year old eggs looks delish

I love Taiwan.

[my89tube]

ROFL the camera man laughing is awesome!!!!!!

and the lady didnt even know what the hell he was taling about at the end lmao

[my89tube]

LMAO I love how the play the serious music.

[kaylasweet180]

why are ppl having to explain what thousand year-old eggs are when it says it in the video???

[newyawker123]

@kaylasweet180

cuz people are dumb

[simsotexsublimation]

Todofu...is really hard to eat steamed instead of fried. It is definitely an acquired taste, but it is delicious once you get past the smell! Also, I'm really surprised this was Zimmerman's downfall...of all the things. Besides city of industry, does anyone have any other good stinky tofu spots in southern california? I've heard of an almost mythical warehouse of this stuff that only sell on the weekends? Is this true? Or just a rumor?

[Gylfi0]

it's awesome because Andrew tries hard to be professional and the camera is like a jackass.

[Gylfi0]

this is incredible. I mean the lady uuuh fermented her cheese inside decomposed stuff.

It's EXACTLY like seasoning your fish by sticking it in the garbage bin. unbelievable

[shuea1992]

the egg is not a thousand year old.. its just a name for it.. its actually some egg preserved for a few weeks with clay, ash and lime.. comparing to balut (half fertilized duck egg=embryo stage) its way better..

[gut197]

1000 year old eggs????

who keeps them for that long

[xxbeaststormxx]

@gut197 its not really thousand years old mate its just fermented for a long time .

[emilyemily7921]

@gut197 its freaking delicious! lol

[Bullzeye95]

Oh and I've been told the street vendors in China always fry their stinky tofu and they don't ferment it for as long, sometimes only 3-4 days. This place is in Taipei and is called "Dai's House of Unique Stink", and they fermented it for 14 days. The raw stinky tofu/century egg salad strikes me as more of a gross out than anything. Raw 14-day old stinky tofu is literally rotten mush. Can't say I blame poor Andrew. He should go back to the Philippines and eat some tasty balut eggs.

[Bullzeye95]

There's no real consistency among stinky tofu because there's no standards for the marinade or the fermenting time.

Thus, the line between "stinky because it's strongly marinaded, fermented soybeans, like soy sauce" and

"stinky because the marinade was made incorrectly or inattentively and the tofu is rotting from hundreds of different strains of random wild bacteria, like a piece of roadkill".

The point of fermentation is it's supposed to be controlled and limited to non-harmful bacteria.

[kickiniitbak]

i've ate stinky tofu from the street vendors in china, its actually quite good. a little stinky but good. and its usually fried anyways. but like he said that is nothing compared to wat he just ate. so i can only imagine. and this man can eat ANYTHING. and if he cant down it then thats some serious food right there.

[ObscurelyNyappy]

Your laugh made it funnier then it is.

lmfao

[XcPromise]

Poor Zimmern ahaha.... I feel terrible for him.

[HyperfastMalmsteen]

when andrew can´t eat who can?..CHUCK NORRIS

[legija83]

what's wrong with these people, can' t they get fresh food at their china-mart?

[bboytha]

how the hell he cant eat that.. its sooo dam good.. but he can eat bull balls.

[aziziekam]

at least he can put it in his mouth & still make comments, he puked immediately when he ate the durian fruit.

[takadi]

lol those flailing arm and hand gestures he makes is fucking hilarious

[jeremytay273]

Being Chinese, wonder if she took that as a compliment or insult when he said it beat him.

[milvipes]

This is not you garden variety stinky tofu. This ultra-potent version will revolt many bona fide Chinese as well.

[hedgehogamy300]

This is his version of fear factor XD

[thatsamiam]

he should suck it up and go home...plus he needs to learn to pronounce things better

[szchoedee]

hi Andrew, you were beaten by a lady named aaahmyeye, here in you tube :) nice try Dude

[DAsoulRK]

Its an aquired taste. :)

[junweila]

well i have ta tell ya. it tastes good

[tylercrane]

look at that huge baby. damn his teeth look like shit. good thing its just his baby teeth

[JulioInMusicalLand]

Its just a century egg,and its definitely not thousand years old -_-"

[hotleafjuice1014]

maybe it's just THAT stinky tofu..if you watch the entire episode, he tried stinky tofu earlier and went back for seconds....maybe the house of stink can't cook!!!

[arcthelad209]

I tried stinky tofu recently. it's definitely the worse food i've ever had in my life. It taste far worse than it smells. I don't understand the appeal of it AT all.

[seeaeytch]

people say the same thing with spicy peppers.. it must be the ability to suppress gag reflex? maybe it prepares you for a life of feasting on cockroaches in a post apocalyptic world, i dunno either.

[astrangeone]

I agreed. Some people love it, my mother ended up chasing down a taxi to catch a stinky tofu vending cart.

To me, it tastes like foot. It's just the smell that gets me.

[AzranZala]

Same with the DURIAN fruit, He failed !

[DmanEyes]

Oh what - the macho, I can eat anything (because I have to prove something) guy - cant eat stinky tofu?!

I have seen vids on YouTube of little kids eating it.

He's a pretender - and the fact that he approaches TOFU with more prejudice and antipathy than any living creature that has been mutilated for his pleasure shows me he is not the big man he wants to be. Big men aren't afraid of vegetables!

[tofuspud]

that's why i dislike andrew zimmern's show. he goes around eating parts of dead animals, but can't handle natural plant based foods.

(no wonder he looks like patrick star from spongebob-pink, bald, chubby and silly)

[theuglykwan]

If you watch the whole episode he can handle normal stinky tofu. The stuff in this segment by that woman is in a different league, she marinades it in this toxic grey soup. To me that would be the equivalent of eating well rotted meat and for the record i love tofu, just not stinky.

[sageeagle]

Why don't you Try some then :)

[MrTennesseeVols]

@DmanEyes I prefer meat to vegetables,I see no problem with that!

[iota1962]

i remebered he also failed with durian

[TheKHUE]

lol he can eat worms but not tofu!

[Inuyashalover4ever]

I guess it's a acquired taste, i've tasted it before it's okau

[ChevalierAguila]

He might eat it with some bull testicles.

[coolestdudeisUS]

and a side of fried bees and hissing cockroaches

LOL

[quadrupleplay]

Do not forget that he loved the griddled stinky tofu. This appears to be a bit different.

I've never eaten this, but it's on my list of interesting stuff to try.

[AenemaToology]

lol you have a list of interesting stuff to try.

[goose003]

thats awesome wen u hea the cameraman laugh shows it even that real jejejejjeje funny stuff

[szchoedee]

wahahaha You're RIGHT dbrillianto... Andrew was beated by Kahliya I think From Morocco, A durian from Thailand and now a Stinky tofu from Taiwan

[iota1962]

at least he swallowed the mysterious meat in morocco but the tofu equals the durian, bwahaha

[MGSFan1317]

"You make the only food that beat me"

LMAO

That has to be just plain disgusting!

[chewonnwong]

I just love to watch his exotic food. He just eat anything without any fear. I guess Misstwink is jeolous. Maybe he/she should try to enjoy eating as Chinese used to say "eating is heaven".

[misstwink]

my god i hate this fat fuck. why do they give a fat person a job where all he does is eat?? like he needs to get any fatter???? he needs to get on a treadmill, not eat. and the worst part is.... he goes to third world countries, like ethiopia, that can't afford to feed their own people... and what does he do? he goes there to be a fat ass and eat all their food like there is enough of it to go around!!!

[Wolliom]

Cry more skinny.

[QueenIsLove39]

waa waa waaa. give me a fucking break

[chrisconnell]

OMG, Iäm loving this guy more everyday. He´s got balls trying all these foods from around the world.

[dbrillianto]

I thought durian was his kryptonite. So, for Andrew, is stinky tofu a supercharged kryptonite?
