Going Down Easy

The Well-Seasoned Traveler, a food series on the A&E network, goes to the source for enlightenment: Italy for pasta, France for truffle hunting, Tokyo for sushi, Switzerland for chocolate. Doug Duda (MBA 1985), the show’s host, is the guy who keeps the ingredients simple: “We set out to do a show that would really talk about the authentic food ways, the things that were kind of in danger of being trampled and lost as we move toward larger scale food,” Duda explained to the New Orleans Times-Picayune (July 21, 2003). A July show on New Orleans cuisine, for example, took up the finer points of roux preparation and crawfish boiling.
The Well-Seasoned Traveler has been praised for what the Times-Picayune called its “patient, thoughtful, and literally tasteful tone.” Duda, the so-called Charles Kuralt of foodie television, noted that the show (Sundays at 4:30 p.m.) shuns an “overheated” approach. “It doesn’t constantly remind people what a good idea it is to be watching this television show.”
