Plot Synopsis

Chef Chuck Hayworth survived stomach cancer, which he attributes to eating nothing but locally grown produce, and now he shares his passion for shopping for fresh ingredients, learning about regional and urban farms, and transforming these ingredients into spectacular dishes for friends and family. Even though Chef Chuck primarily shops his home state of North Carolina, he also travels to other locales across the Southeastern United States, highlighting the men and women who grow the food on our tables, while also serving up education, shopping tips, and recipes. Each 30-minute episode highlights a single ingredient, like cherries or potatoes, or features a theme, such as Fall brunch or tailgating -- all with local ingredients and flavors.
