'Andrew Zimmern, the James Beard Award-winning TV personality, chef, food writer and food advocate, has joined Babson as entrepreneur-in-residence. Zimmern, whose hit television show Bizarre Foods has explored food cultures in more than 32 countries, has hands-on experience working with food innovators and food entrepreneurs across the globe, which will inform his work with Babson students. Zimmern will work directly with the Lewis Institute\'s Social Innovation Lab at Babson as well as the Lab\'s Food Sol, an \'action tank\' focused on innovation in the food system. The Lewis Institute for Social Innovation is the GPS for navigating social innovation and redefining expectations for business by moving from social responsibility to social relevance. Through action research, case development, webinars, convening working sessions with business leaders, and collaborating throughout the Babson community -- particularly with the Babson Social Innovation Lab -- the Lewis Institute serves as an integrated, objective, and accessible resource of ideas, perspective, and practical knowledge for how to make social innovation work.
