A NOTE FROM PADMA
Taste The Nation is a show about what connects us as Americans and as human beings. It’s about the undeniable spirit, adaptability and resilience of the immigrants and indigenous communities who shaped this country and what we now know as “American” food.
It’s a project I’ve spent years developing. We traveled across the country visiting indigenous and immigrant communities to hear their stories directly. The process was incredibly emotional and rewarding - a journey I will never forget.
I hope it makes us question our place in the world and the idea of “Who gets to call themselves American?”
I’m so proud of everyone who worked on this with me and I hope you’ll enjoy it, too.
