Anyone else watching this new show with Marcus Samuelsson exploring the food of various US cities? I’ve seen the first two and have enjoyed them. And please, I don’t want to compare it to Tony Bourdain’s shows - two very different styles.
I have watched the first two episodes using the PBS app. I like the show so far but I wish the host would ask more questions about the food while conveying life in that specific neighborhood.
The first six (I think) episodes are available on PBS. I watched the first two. Just not my thing. The host is pretentious, talks down to his audience, and clearly has a political agenda. The first episode was off-putting. The second one was a real trial that I sat through to see if there was any value to me at all.
I won’t watch any more. It’s just too painful for too little value. Guy Fieri for public television - all show and no meat.
How did I miss this? Within the last year my city got split between the PBS SF Bay area and the PBS Sacto valley. I LOVED it when we got both. Very different sensibilities.
I haven’t watched this yet, but mad props to Marcus who I think has made some awkward and difficult choices.
