Searching for Soul Food

Chef Alisa heads to Oklahoma to meet and eat with Native Americans who are reconnecting to their heritage by restoring and reclaiming their food.

In her first ever trip to The Motherland, Chef Alisa cooks and eats her way through Cape Town, South Africa, a city with a complex culture of food formed by an even more complicated history.

In Jamaica’s Portland parish, Chef leaves the beaches for higher ground to uncover the little-known story of resistance behind one of Jamaica’s most iconic foods.

She’s been around the world and back again, and now Chef Alisa is seeing her own city with new eyes as she returns to the roots of LA food culture to find the source of its soul.
