Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi (2020)
Not the usual...
Aside from the fact that Padma Lakshmi is gorgeous and i would watch her read the alphabet, this show has a mix that I have not seen before. Her role has expanded beyond the food - its history, its influence in American culture,the people that make the food American from original cultural roots. We as Americans are all immigrants with the exception of Native Americans and this show brings the melting pot into sharp focus and our roles in it. She is smart, has an offhanded comic streak, and is respectful and knowledgeable about the cuisines. I have only seen 2 episodes but I am hooked. Who has Preet Baharra as a guest? This show is perfect in the current climate of immigration fear. Anyone who says "Go back where you came from" - this country is empty.
