June 14 - 20, 2020 WHATS UP! T7 BY MICHELLE ROSE TV Media A nother exciting season of "Top Chef" wraps this Thursday, June 18, on Bravo. But if the grand finale's Italian locale leaves you craving more food- meets-travel programming, let "Top Chef" host/judge Padma Lakshmi be your guide. Beginning this week, Lakshmi will be flying solo with a new project that's close to her heart. A Hulu original series, "Taste the Nation with Padma Laksh- mi" launches Friday, June 19, on the streamer. When "Taste the Nation" was first announced last summer, Hulu described it as "a living cookbook made up more from people and culture than reci- pes." And that's a perfectly apt description for this 10-city jour- ney, which looks at how diverse food cultures and immigration have shaped and redefined American food today. It could be a family recipe or a restaurant staple, but a single dish serves as the starting point for each half-hour episode. By tracing its history and place in the community, Lakshmi ulti- mately tells the story of how that community evolved or laid down roots in America. Per Hulu's series description: "From indigenous communities to recent immigrant arrivals, Padma breaks bread with Amer- icans across the nation to uncov- er the roots and relationship be- tween our food, our humanity and our history — ultimately re- vealing stories that challenge notions of identity, belonging and what it means to be Ameri- can." The first episode is set in El Paso, Texas — Sun City — where Lakshmi speaks with cooks who commute daily from Mexico. She'll step into kitchens to im- merse herself in the local food culture, which is heavily influ- enced by communities and agri- cultural traditions on both sides of the border. In an Instagram post, the In- dia-born model/author/actress described "Taste the Nation" as "a project I've spent years devel- oping." Lakshmi further elaborated in an interview with Time maga- zine, stating that she had come up with the show's concept a few years ago. Her willingness to broach the divisive subject of immigration policy likely ex- plains why several networks ini- tially passed on the show. But Hulu liked the pitch, and filming began late last year. Luckily, filming was complet- ed before the industry-wide production shutdown, and all 10 episodes of "Taste the Nation" will be available to stream be- ginning this Friday, June 19, on Hulu.
