FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - PHILADELPHIA – August 24th, 2021

A Taste of History is a 15-time Emmy Award winning television series that recreates culinary heritage by cooking spectacular historic recipes at original locations across the globe. The show is one-part cooking, one-part history with a dash of humor and a whole lot of personality and appeals to cooks, history lovers, travelers and anyone who loves watching an adventure. The show airs on PBS, Amazon Prime, and the Hungry Channel on Apple TV and Roku streaming devices.

Our 12th Season of production brings us to Bent’s Old Fort along the Santa Fe Trail where the show’s host, Chef Walter Staib, discovers what life was like for a pioneer travelling the Santa Fe trail and cooks some of the recipes that kept them nourished for their 900 mile journey. Season 12 is expected to premiere in the Spring of 2022.

About Chef Walter Staib: a third-generation restaurateur with over 50 years’ experience. In 1989 he founded Concepts by Staib, Ltd. which is a globally operating restaurant management and hospitality consulting firm. Staib has been instrumental in opening more than 650 restaurants worldwide and served as proprietor of the City Tavern in Philadelphia for over 26 years. In addition to his seven cookbooks, Staib has made numerous appearances on local and national cooking shows, such as 60 Minutes, the Today show and the Food Network’s “Best Thing I Ever Ate” and “Iron Chef.”

About Bent’s Old Fort:

This fur-trading post along the Santa Fe Trail was once the only building seen for hundreds of miles in any direction. Travelers from Missouri and the east, traders from Mexico, and Native Americans came to this adobe castle on the Plains to sell their manufactured goods to a diverse mix of customers. But it would also play a critical role in the “Army of the West’s” advancement on Santa Fe that would change the landscape of our country, forever.

A Taste of History will be filming at Bent’s Old Fort on Monday, August 30th and Tuesday, August 31st.
