Relish Season 4 PREMIERE: December 8, 2021
DESCRIPTION For four seasons, Relish has shared stories of cultural heritage in Twin Cities communities through the universal language of food. In October 2022, PBS Food acquired 13 episodes of Relish to share exclusively on its YouTube channel. Since launch, these episodes have been viewed more than 50,000 times by viewers across the country. In each episode, host Yia Vang (Union Hmong Kitchen, Vinai) takes viewers inside the kitchen with local chefs as they serve up an ingredient or dish that has personal and cultural meaning to them. Relish invites viewers to celebrate the cuisines and cultures of our diverse neighbors through videos, articles, and recipes they can make at home, inspiring them to explore their world in a whole new way. The most recent season of the digital series dives even more in depth into history, culture, and food, and features eight guest chefs from the Twin Cities. IMPACT Relish puts diverse local communities in the spotlight through educational and engaging content. Videos and articles document and preserve food traditions and practices. In each multimedia showcase, community members share their culture, cuisine, and their own personal history. Viewers learn firsthand about the many diverse communities that make the Twin Cities a vibrant place, and seek out experiences with and in the featured community. Provided recipes also give viewers the chance to make dishes in their own homes. Relish gives featured participants a voice and increases exposure for their cuisine, their business, and/or their community.
EDUCATION In April of 2022 robust education guides were uploaded to PBSLM. The guides included show summaries, video clips, classroom activities and dozens of recipes. Since launch, more than 1,800 users have accessed the content, to the tune of nearly 4,000 page views. Curriculum: 31 episodes from seasons 1-4 were uploaded to the Relish collection of videos and resources on PBSLM.

Legacy survey respondents provided feedback about Relish’s impact:
“ Relish has spiked my curiosity about the various restaurants and the cultures that they represent in the Twin Cities and surrounding area. Yia Vang is an excellent host and makes me feel my own cultural roots are recognized along with everyone else’s here in MN.” “This programming makes things more accessible. Time is a commodity – and I may not be able to travel all over the state to learn about things. TV brings them directly to me. Relish is a great example of learning about the rich cultures in MN through food ways.”
