Ali Khan is a gastronomic connoisseur. As a lover of food – from
gourmet meals, to sloppy street tacos wrapped in foil – Ali is always
up for scouting out the most amazing dishes, and he finds them in
some pretty unique places, to boot.
Ali has been “eating fearlessly” since day one, embracing new cuisines
and cultures with open arms and an eager appetite. His passion for
writing was mirrored in his foodie personality, and Ali was on the fast
track to becoming an internet sensation and a social media star.
“Ali lent his writing skills to lifestyle sites such as Urban Daddy and
LA TACO and became a regular contributor to You Gotta Eat This.”
During this time, he also launched Bang for your Burger Buck. Bang
for your Burger Buck is a very successful blog that reviews burgers
of all walks of life, nationwide.
Ali Khan earned his B.A. in Theater Studies at the University of
Southern California, so the gift of performance was with him
as well. His combination of theatrical grace, food knowledge,
and writing skills landed him appearances on Food Network,
including hit series such as Grill It with Bobby Flay and the
Best Thing I Ever Made. Ali also aided in the development of
projects for Jeff Mauro, Alton Brown and Simon Majumdar.
As the host of Cheap Eats on the Cooking Channel,
Ali is right at home taking audiences on an affordable
culinary tour of America. When not cruising the country
for Cheap Eats, Ali spends time at home with his wife
and son in Austin, Texas. In between filming, we had
a chance to get to know Ali Khan a bit more, in this
exclusive interview.
