Taste Of America

Taste of America is a humorous and informative look at the American obsession with food. Hosted by comedian Mark DeCarlo, this program examines food history and food culture in the United States. Each episode focuses on a different area of the country and examines the foods made famous by each. DeCarlo samples Kentucky bourbon, attends a tomato festival in California, tries paw paw in Ohio and enjoys a lentil festival in Washington. He travels to Rhode Island for a clam bake, tries out frozen bananas on Balboa Island and reports from the Shuck Festival in Iowa. Food lovers and travel buffs will love Taste of America and its endearingly fearless host, who is game for anything and loves to try new foods. Over the past twenty years, American foodies have drastically widened their culinary horizons and are now cooking with a variety of international ingredients that were until recently unavailable in the United States. However, many of these gourmands have remained woefully unaware of America's own rich culinary traditions. Taste of America is a highly enjoyable remedy for this that will leave viewers hungry for more! MORE
