"Eat the World is more than just a travel or cooking show, it's a heartwarming look at Emeril and his relationship with his friends, as he learns about new foods and cultures," said Conrad Riggs, Head of Unscripted, Amazon Studios. "Prime members will get an inside look at incredible destinations and unbelievable cuisine with one of the world's most respected chefs."
Each 30-minute episode of Eat the World takes viewers on a new adventure to a different country with Lagasse and one of his master chef friends. Throughout these exciting trips, Prime members will get to share these once-in-a-lifetime experiences along with their two intrepid guides. This season Emeril visits:
