STATE PLATE News:
New Mexico will be featured in the new season of INSP’s award-winning original culinary-travel series State Plate, hosted by Entertainer, Restauranteur and former American Idol winner Taylor Hicks.
In State Plate, Hicks tastes his way across the United States on a quest to assemble plates that represent each state’s most historic, famous and tastiest foods. He samples crab cakes in Maryland, chili in Texas, potatoes in Idaho, and other delectable dishes as he travels from coast to coast visiting farms, ranches, markets and festivals in order to uncover the stories and legends behind each state’s unique food traditions.
It’s a heaping helping of America’s most intriguing cuisine, rich in history, folklore, and flavor. After two seasons of State Plate, Hicks will have documented the most popular foods from 36 states in the U.S.
When many think of New Mexico they imagine the magnificent caves of Carlsbad Caverns National Park, the Native American history at the Pecos National Historical Park or the stunning landscape of Valle Vidal in Carson National Forest; but what about the food?
Hicks travels the state discovering all the delectable dishes the state has to offer. He visited Sante Fe and Albuquerque and filled his plate with delicious food from each of these areas.
The New Mexico episode of State Plate will premiere on family-entertainment network INSP at 5:30 p.m. MT, Monday, April 9.
