Plot Synopsis

HAYLIE'S AMERICA is a half-hour series that follows Haylie Duff as she travels across the United States, stopping in a new city in each episode where she makes time for food-filled adventures and reconnecting with friends and family. In each new town, Haylie explores trendy new hot spots, old-school mainstays, and everything tasty in between. Haylie's first stop is Santa Barbara where she meets up with friend Jonathan Bennett. The duo makes a pact to indulge in the culinary wealth of the city for an epic cheat day. After working up an appetite on beach cruiser bikes, they break for brunch at a pop-up eatery where they devour Beer Batter and Cheese-Infused Waffle Sandwiches. Then, they follow the flavors and alluring aromas to a BBQ restaurant for a taste of Smoked Tri Tip Brisket, and a Triple Chop Sandwich. Of course, they saved room for dessert, as the two head to a cupcake shop in the mountains overlooking the city, known for mixing savory and sweet flavors. There, they head to the kitchen and have their very own Cupcake Wars, where Haylie whips up a cupcake that combines chocolate and wine and Jonathan creates a giant cupcake with bourbon frosting. In subsequent episodes, Haylie samples unique gourmet ice cream in Denver with Beverly Mitchell, poke burritos with actress Alanna Masterson in Los Angeles, a pre-concert "Coffee Talk" with Trisha Yearwood in Las Vegas, a Texas-sized homecoming dripping in queso in Austin, and an oyster excursion in New Orleans.
