Each episode of United Tastes of America focuses on one iconic food staple, such as donuts, burgers and pizza – and explores it from every angle. The history, process, science and pop-culture significance of each item are examined, along with a look at how today’s hottest chefs are reinterpreting them in unexpected ways.
Premiering Tuesday, November 16 at 9:30pm ET/6:30pm ET, pizza is the first food on the menu at United Tastes of America. In addition to the ultimate New York street slice and the hearty deep-dish style of Chicago, the episode explores what happens when pizza goes upscale and collides with international influences – resulting in unexpected Indian-curry and sushi pizzas.
