TV One serves up a new culinary travelogue this Thursday with the premiere of “Savor the City.” Hosted by Chef Jernard Wells, the series kicks off with a trip to Napa Valley, but this isn’t your typical wine-country tour. “Savor the City” adds a dash of history to the mix, exploring the often-overlooked contributions of Black culinary figures to the region.
From the tasting room at Brown Estate to an elevated food and wine pairing experience at “Vin En Noir,” Chef Wells guides viewers through a delicious itinerary, uncovering hidden gems and sharing stories that go beyond the usual tourist fare. He’ll also stop by Stateline Road Smokehouse for a hearty dose of barbecue, and along the way, Angela McRae will offer her expert take on Sonoma wines.
The series plans to visit several cities across the country, with each episode highlighting the unsung heroes of Black culinary history and their influence on local flavors. So, whether you’re a serious foodie or just looking for some tasty escapism, “Savor the City” aims to deliver a satisfying blend of history, culture, and good eats. The series premieres Thursday, April 3rd at 8:00 PM on TV One.
