In this series, Padma Lakshmi accompanies the masses on a journey through America, while she leads a range of different missions along the way. Padma is embarking on her journey in order to explore the rich and diverse food culture of various immigrant groups, as she confronts the people who largely shaped what American food is.
By focusing specifically on the immigrant groups that have seen their native dishes appropriated, as well as the ways in which they seek to preserve those original traditions, it inches toward an answer more complex than "fast food."
Taste the Nation wants us all to resist that compartmentalization, to embrace the way food can be a gateway towards better understanding one another, while also showing us how much harder that is to put into practice.
