Overview

  • The series premieres Sunday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CNN.
  • The first episode is set in New York City, with later stops including Marseille, Tokyo, São Paulo, Iceland and Wisconsin.
  • Shalhoub frames bread as a vehicle to illuminate history and community, while also tasting local dishes and drinks encountered along the way.
  • Family members appear throughout the season, including daughter Josie in Marseille to trace his father’s 1920 journey, wife Brooke Adams and daughter Sophie in Iceland, and relatives in Wisconsin.
  • CNN executive Amy Entelis says the show pursues its own voice in a crowded genre shaped by Anthony Bourdain’s influence, as CNN promotes the launch with a new video of Shalhoub baking with Chef Camari Mick and revealing the original title he pitched.
