Food in Context!

I love how this show looks at good where it lives. Either in its home country - or - how people interact with it in their daily lives.

And with energy & fun!

Who doesn’t love to eat?

Great show idea, and the host is fun and engaging. Food is life, and I like learning about the diverse dialects of the food language. Super enlightening
