INSP Has Greenlit a 3rd Season of the Taylor Hicks Hosted Culinary-Travel Series State Plate
(Indian Land, SC – March 20, 2018) General entertainment television network INSP has greenlit a 3rd season of its popular original culinary-travel series State Plate, hosted by former American Idol winner, musician, and restauranteur Taylor Hicks. Doug Butts, SVP of Programming for INSP, made the announcement.
“With season 3 we will achieve our original goal of featuring all 50 states,” said Butts. “Beginning with the very first episodes in 2016, reaction from people across the country has been very positive. Viewers took great pride in seeing their state featured, and they enjoyed going on this journey with charismatic host Taylor Hicks, who made learning about the history of regional and local foods interesting and fun.”
In this season of State Plate, Taylor Hicks continues his quest to assemble the perfect state plate – representing their most historic, famous and tastiest dishes. For two years, he has crisscrossed America visiting farms, ranches, markets, and festivals to uncover the stories and legends behind each state’s unique food traditions. This season, he will sample a kalua pig in Hawaii, an ice cream potato in Idaho, an elk filet in Wyoming, and all manner of other items, as he tastes his way through the final 14 states of his epic journey. It’s a heaping helping of America’s most beloved cuisine, rich in history, folklore, and flavor.
The premiere date for the third season of State Plate, which will include 14 episodes, will be announced soon.
State Plate is produced by RIVR Media.
