Chef Gerry Garvin, aka 'G.', hits the road again for the third season of Road Trip with G. Garvin, premiering tonight, May 21st at 9pm ET/6pm PT on Cooking Channel. An acclaimed cookbook author and larger-than-life personality, G. Garvin takes viewers on a culinary expedition through 13 episodes exploring some of the best Southern-inspired cuisine the country has to offer. Whether New York or Michigan, Hawaii or Connecticut, G. discovers the hidden gems behind some of the cities' best eats.
"G. is a triple threat. An acclaimed chef, with an adventurous side and a warm and entertaining personality," said Michael Smith, General Manager and Senior
Vice President, Cooking Channel. "All of this makes him the perfect guide to take viewers across the country finding some of the tastiest dishes around, along with getting to know the people behind them."
In the premiere episode G. heads to Connecticut and starts his road trip at The Corner, a breakfast spot in Milford, Conn., that has all the locals buzzing. The restaurant serves up Southern flavors, like the spiced duck tortilla and French toast stuffed with peaches and cream. The next stop is Mama's Boy Southern Table & Refuge in Norwalk, where they put their own fresh spin on traditional Southern classics, including espresso-rubbed short-ribs. The final stop on his tour is Sandra's Next Generation in New Haven, where they are cooking up authentic Deep South staples right on the east coast! Throughout the season G. travels wherever the food and road takes him, including a food truck that prepares a New Orleans style jambalaya in Oahu, Hawaii, and a stop in New York City to find some of the best Southern-inspired food the Empire State has to offer.
G. Garvin has mastered offering a one-size-fits-all approach to cooking sophisticated and simple meals, proving that even the most basic cooking palate can create the most flavorful of dishes. The Atlanta native, who began building his culinary repertoire during childhood, is also a notable TV host and cookbook author, with his first cookbook, the NAACP Image Award nominated "Turn Up the Heat with G. Garvin." Through Garvin's efforts he hopes to aid in breaking down the diversity barriers within not only the cooking industry, but in society as a whole. His down-to-earth approach to cooking, and discovering off-the-beaten path foods, has made him one of the most respected chefs on the culinary scene today.
Road Trip with G. Garvin is produced by Powerhouse Productions.
