Flavor, NC Returns This Month

The wait is over for people who love home-grown North Carolina goodness! Flavor, NC returns to public television this month with an all-new season of trips to great farms, food producers and restaurants from the mountains to the coast and everywhere in between. The series of brand new episodes kicks off on UNC-EX Wednesday, September 19 at 9:00 pm and on UNC-TV Saturday, September 22 at 10:30 am.

What is Flavor, NC? That’s easy. Flavor, NC is more than an address and more than a state of mind.  Flavor, NC is the crossroads where the best of homegrown Tar Heel agricultural specialties meet up with the people and places who nurture that bounty. Rolling out the welcome mat in Flavor, NC is Lisa Prince, a talented, engaging and down to earth food pro on a mission to get North Carolina cooking local again. Flavor, NC savors the tastes of North Carolina and celebrates the farmers and food artisans working to keep Tar Heel agriculture growing.
