Bob Blumer Biography

Bob Blumer is a professional gastronaut with an adrenaline addiction. He has created and hosted three award-winning TV series that have aired in over 20 countries, written six acclaimed cookbooks, and broken eight food-related Guinness World Records.

In his books and appearances around the globe, Blumer transforms ordinary ingredients into wow-inspiring dishes through simple cooking methods and whimsical presentations that have become his culinary trademark.

Blumer’s first series, "Surreal Gourmet," was a pioneering Food Network instructional show. It featured his signature recipes and was anchored by his iconic Toaster mobile — an Airstream trailer tricked out with a professional kitchen and topped with two eight-foot-long slices of toast. In his genre-pushing competition series, "Glutton for Punishment," Blumer had five days to train for a physically daunting, food-related challenge, then had to compete against highly trained professionals with his newfound skill.

Blumer is an ambassador for Second Harvest in Toronto. He has personally raised over $250,000 to help alleviate hunger for the perishable food bank, and several other noble causes. When he is not traveling for work or pleasure—which is most of the time—the transplanted Canadian cycles daily in the canyons near his home under the “D” of the Hollywood sign, doing his best to stay in shape for his next big adventure.
