“It’s a beautiful adventure to discover our past through the great connector that is food,” said Porowski. “I’m honored to go on this journey of self-discovery with new and old friends alongside National Geographic as we learn together about the ways different cultures celebrate food and experience their traditions.”

Each episode features key dishes that Porowski and his guests learn more about, culminating in a family meal that includes a classic dish from the region that will illuminate the beauty of each culture. Along the way, between traveling via local water taxis and off-roading 4x4s, Porowski and his guests meet local travelers who share their own family stories, connections with food and culture, and newly gained perspectives about their heritage and themselves.
