Two episodes of my new travel series Brandy Yanchyk Sees the World is out! You can stream the two episodes any time for free on the PBS App. Just put in a US postal code like 90210 and pick a station.
For four weeks a new episode will be released on Mondays.
Public TV stations including PBS are also airing my series across the USA and Canada on their local TV stations.
Here are descriptions of the two episodes from Louisiana that have been released:
1. COOKING & CULTURE IN TANGIPAHOA PARISH, LOUISIANA: CATFISH, TEA, AND SOUTHERN FLAVOURS
Brandy Yanchyk explores the bold flavours and local charm of Tangipahoa Parish. She learns to cook thin fried catfish and hushpuppies at the iconic Middendorf’s, sips Louisiana-grown tea at Fleur De Lis Tea Company, and dives into the smoky BBQ scene at Salty Joe’s BBQ in Hammond.
2. LOUISIANA’S NORTHSHORE AND HAMMOND: HISTORY, GUMBO, JAZZ, CHOCTAW ROOTS & CRAFT BEER
Brandy bikes the scenic Tammany Trace and visits Pat's Rest Awhile in Mandeville and tastes Southern cuisine with local chef Pat Gallagher. She learns about the city’s history through the Explore Historic Mandeville QR Tour and steps inside the legendary Dew Drop Jazz and Social Hall. Brandy connects with Choctaw heritage at the Bayou Lacombe Museum and then has a craft beer tasting at Gnarly Barley Brewing Co. in Hammond.
