Endless Feast
“Endless Feast” travels the continent, bringing together local farmers and food artisans, food lovers and star chefs, as it explores the connection between the earth and the food we eat, one incredible feast at a time. Each episode introduces a different region and features a gorgeous feast staged in a stunning outdoor location, from farm fields to vineyards to urban community gardens, celebrating food at the source.
One evening we might dine on an Oregon island. It’s twilight and the heat of the day is gently receding. The diners stroll through farm fields colored by bright flowers and succulent vegetables. Among the verdant rows lies a long linen-draped table adorned with shells and fresh blossoms. Flickering lanterns swing gently from sticks gathered along the nearby river. The diners take their seats as the guest chef, from one of Portland’s finest restaurants, puts the finishing touches on the first course in the impromptu kitchen. As the camera settles on the vintner pouring his new release, we venture out to his boutique winery and explore the winemaker’s unique crop of grapes, and the cellar that has been turning out remarkable wines for almost a decade. Back at the dinner table, an appetizer of smoked salmon is served on buckwheat blinis. The camera settles on a local fisherman whose family has been fishing these waters for three generations. We are immediately transported into his world, as we ride along on a salmon hunt and discover the old smoking huts that still cure the delicate fish.
