Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi (2020)
A full plate of tastiness and thoughtfulness -- more, please!

While this show is uneven -- some episodes are beautiful through and through, some are stiff -- it's a breath of fresh air next to most of the programming on that ubiquitous food channel... it's a shame that there aren't many more shows like this one.
Recently at a food festival in NYC, Padma was on stage and mentioned that it was difficult to get this show green lit -- she said she presented it to at least a half dozen networks and platforms, and everyone passed, until Hulu said "yes." And this shortsightedness by the networks was a decade into her Top Chef fame -- disheartening! But thank you to Hulu for finally seeing the light.
"Burritos on the Border" is a standout episode. Start there, and see if you want to dig in deeper.
