Six cultures. Four cities. A world of culinary tradition.

Coming this November 7, season three of our Emmy-winning, James Beard award-nominated series, The Migrant Kitchen returns with all new episodes on KCET/PBS (and streaming online).

Join the journey, from the hectic streets of San Francisco’s Chinatown and San Diego county’s Mexican border, to Los Angeles’ vibrant Thai town and the city’s legendary Jewish delis. Break bread with the Bay Area’s Palestinian community, and step inside new kind of sake brewery. These are the stories of the chefs, farmers and producers risking everything to revive, preserve and reinvent the cuisines of their heritage. Because the stories of cultural survival, of perseverance and humanity, of immigrants and soul, those are the stories of California.
