“The series launched to tremendous response from our viewers, so Josh Denny is packing up his suitcase and hitting the road to sample more audaciously big, mouthwatering dishes that you will have to see to believe,” said Didi O’Hearn, Senior Vice President Programming, Food Network and Cooking Channel.
