Source-derived summary

The Zimmern List is a 2017 Daytime Emmy-winning travel and cuisine television show hosted by Andrew Zimmern on the Travel Channel in the US. The first season debuted on Thursday, September 14, 2017. On May 8, 2018, the series was picked up for a second season.

The Zimmern List finds Andrew visiting a different city, serving as the viewers' guide while he recounts personal food memories, shares the culinary history of each location, and shows what to eat and where to find it.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “The Zimmern List” as uS television program. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2017, 2018—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Zimmern, List and television can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as uS television program. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q54829337. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2017 and 2018.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
