UPDATE: Find your local PBS station and airtime here. Watch Season 1 online here.
Gourmet's Diary of a Foodie Season 2 premieres this weekend on PBS in the US! The first four episodes will be "Southern India: The Spice of Life", "New Zealand: The Rugged Land", "Bread: The Foundation of a Meal", and "Hidden Hong Kong". I can't wait to see Gourmet's Bangalore correspondent, Shoba Narayan, and my dear friend and South China Morning Post Food Editor, Susan Jung. And watch what happens when Steven Kaplan, Cornell professor and baguette expert, wields his bread knife in France!
I was on location in France and the US Midwest again, so yes, you'll see me in episodes throughout the season. This year there's an entire show devoted to France - and to bloggers. You may have seen Clotilde's beautiful post about her shoot with Sadaharu Aoki. (I love you too Clo) Look for David and a few other beloved bloggers too.
Please note that most PBS stations do not repeat episodes so you have but one chance to watch or record.
International friends, the series will again air as Chic Eats, but this year on the National Geographic Channel.
And not only did Season 1 win the James Beard award, but we just heard that we won the CINE Golden Eagle too! Thank you Gourmet, Zero Point Zero (who also produce a little show with Bourdain), and WGBH!
I've compiled a comprehensive list of PBS stations with Foodies currently on their schedules. Sadly it's not playing in all markets - and this season that includes my hometown Chicago. If you find that I've missed your local station, please let me know and I'll update the list. Thanks!
