Season 2, which premieres May 27, 2016, continues a global approach to its selection of culinary artists, traveling from Brazil to Slovenia to Thailand. Following that, a four-episode “French Installment” set for later in 2016, will focus on the grand tradition of cuisine francois, followed by a six-episode Season 4 in 2017.
