What’s Happening:

At the TCA Summer Press Tour, National Geographic Content president Courteney Monroe made several announcements, which included a new series, Appetite for Adventure.
The show will follow award-winning BBQ Pitmaster and former U.S. Navy veteran Big Moe Cason as he travels the world searching for the rarest flavors.
Venturing from the American South, Cason will travel to far-flung places around the world to learn how to make new dishes over an open flame, all with a theme of bringing families together.
Big Moe’s own culinary interests started with his grandmother, making this a personal experience for the decorated pitmaster.

Executive producers include Rob Shaftel and Lauren Thompson.
