The Mix

S1, E1: With the help of local chefs, artists, and activists, award-winning journalist Lisa Ling's cross-country road trip begins with the Filipino American community in the bayous of Southern Louisiana. While there, Lisa tries halo halo for the first time, and is invited to both a cajun shrimp boil and kamayan at the home of a local chef. Along the way, Lisa is surprised to learn about the Filipino community's long history in the United States, the impact of the culture on New Orleans-style cuisine, and the future of its multifaceted food scene.
