There are no user reviews yet - Be first to review Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi.
-
Lakshmi’s flirtatious manner, her unquenchable glamour, allow her to Trojan-horse Taste the Nation’s true intentions for viewers who might be expecting a vaguely patriotic travelogue through America’s most iconic meals. What she’s offering instead is one of the most fascinating food series to emerge in recent years: a ruthless indictment of how a nation’s cultural heritage has been constructed out of the people and traditions that it has consistently and brutally rejected.
-
Lakshmi’s life experience often parallels the immigrants she befriends on screen, differentiating Taste the Nation from the surface-level interrogations of its food travel show predecessors.
-
Taste The Nation With Padma Lakshmi won’t make anyone forget about Bourdain and his various shows, but it’s well-shot, Lakshmi is a warm and knowledgeable host, and the food she discovers is both comforting and surprising.
