Just announced - they’re heading to…The Carolinas. Mostly Charlotte, NC, but some in Greenville, SC.

Interesting that they’re heading back to that neck of the woods, considering they had a season already in Charleston. Given how long the show’s run, it’s inevitable they will revisit old regions. Still rooting a New England season… 
I wonder if they might tie in some of the rebuilding they’re doing in Asheville.

Well, they DID do Boston. But they could do Maine.
That would be a good thing!

Yeah, and while there were a few fun twists and few strong cheftestants (love Gregory and Melissa!), I didn’t love the Boston season. Katsuji…boooo. I think they missed the chance to showcase more of the cuisine in Boston, without the hokey baseball/sports or pilgrim homages. I loved the idea of doing Thanksgiving dinner, but wish the challenge was more interesting.
I’m the recent resurrection of Portland, ME destinations, I proposed they do a New England episode so they can pluck from a lot more local talent - Portland is an easy one, but also a few of those gems tucked away in VT, RI, and I’m sure there are some ex-NYers ensconced in CT too. I would love for then to try to pull more local talent in. Each location they maybe have 1or 2 chefs. I kind of wish they would try to have more local chefs (but still pass the bar on quality) too.

There are some great places in Portland, but also some great spots in Kennebunkport .
Maine has a lot of good food, and their emphasis on local farm to table or sea to table really is top notch. We are spoiled, being in New England, to be able to hop over to Maine and neighboring states quickly for beautiful locations and great local foods.
