 I'm Alejandra Ramos, host of the new PBS series The Great American Recipe. Oh man, what are you doing there? There is some spice in there. Good. A celebration of food and family traditions. Welcome. This is going to be fun. That's what I like to hear. With a bit of competition to spice it up. Hands up everyone. Time's up. Have you been watching? We're two episodes in and the competition's been heating up. Our chef judges Graham, Leah, and Tiffany have been tasting some fintastic food. You're passionate about flavor and you respect your heritage. I love the kick. Really ties the dish together. The theme for today is if I were a recipe. But it's the stories about the recipes that really stand out. We fell in love with Tony's Korean gochujang chicken tacos. It's very important for me to cook Korean food because it's who I am. I know who you are now. There was also Dan's family favorite spicy calamari. This calamari is popping. And Sylvia's tri-tip tacos with her amazing handmade tortillas. I just enriched my Mexican cooking. These home cooks are incredible and their recipes keep getting better. But we've fairly started and there is so much more to come. This week is all about expressing love through your food. All right, let's get this bacon shaken. I want to be at the top. Remember you guys asking for some funk? We're cooking some pasta over here or it's cooking me. I absolutely love it. I almost forgot about you. I can do it. I can do it. You can watch any time on the PBS app or Fridays on your local PBS station. This is a homage to my mom. I've introduced so many people to this dish and no one's walked away unhappy. I'm Alejandra Ramos. Eat well, stay healthy and don't miss the next episode of The Great American Recipe.
