The Savers of Flavor

With every growing season, the South risks losing ingredients that shaped its flavor, history, and culture. Chef Kevin Mitchell and food historian David Shields race to find and rescue them before they vanish. Part documentary, travelogue, and cooking show, The Savers of Flavor traces history from fields to fine dining, from humble tables to celebrated restaurants, coast to foothills and between.
