Bourdain's Team Launches New Food Diplomacy Show
1 Jan
Summary
- A new food and travel show, 'The Envoy,' explores culinary diplomacy.
- The series is backed by crew members from Anthony Bourdain's shows.
- The show aims to highlight underrepresented voices through food.
The minds behind Anthony Bourdain's acclaimed series "Parts Unknown" and "No Reservations" are now spearheading a new culinary and travel show titled "The Envoy." This Amazon Prime series, helmed by Anne Marie Hagerty, centers on food's profound ability to shape and influence cultures worldwide.
Each episode of "The Envoy" offers a deep dive into various countries, examining them through the unique lens of culinary diplomacy. The inaugural episode prominently features Senegal, setting the tone for the series' exploration of global food narratives. Hagerty's mission is to amplify the voices of individuals who have historically been marginalized, providing them with a much-deserved spotlight.
The show's creative team comprises seasoned professionals, including an Academy Award-winning director and a seven-time Emmy award-winning showrunner, all drawn from Bourdain's former productions. Hagerty meticulously recruited these talents by researching credits on episodes she admired. The series aims not to replicate Bourdain's legacy but to build upon it, investigating what has transpired in regions he once visited and envisioning future possibilities through the power of food.
