Series Synopsis

Season 2 premieres on PBS primetime October 26, 2026! Pati Jinich's life's work has been focused on forging bonds between her two beloved countries - her homeland of Mexico and her new home the United States. In this docuseries, the acclaimed chef and James Beard Award winner expands her lifelong mission to uncover cultural connections throughout the Americas and how they enrich each other. Pati embarks on a journey inspired by the Pan-American Highway, a series of roads and a symbol of connection and collaboration extending from Alaska to Argentina. In Season 1, Pati begins her epic adventure at the top of Alaska and then travels along the Western Hemisphere to southern Alberta. In Season 2, she continues through the Western United States from Montana and Wyoming to Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona to the Mexico border. Along the way, she discovers that much like the roads that weave through our landscapes to connect us, we share more similarities than differences. At our core, we are all longing for home and craving to belong. See more on PBS.org.
