Together, they cook a unique meal at the guest’s home and have intimate conversations around the table with friends and family discussing geopolitics, immigration, humor, and love. The first three episodes (20 minutes each) explore cuisines from the Republic of Georgia, Oaxaca, Mexico, and Myanmar.
