"People around the world are taking ownership of their food again, and The Perennial Plate celebrates, inspires, and speaks to this passion," said Steven Kydd, Tastemade Co-Founder. "We are honored to work with YouTube and such a progressive airline like Virgin America to bring this award-winning series to their flights."

"It's amazing to have our collection of short films about food and travel around the world included in-flight, and they are the perfect match for folks headed out on a trip of their own." said Perennial Plate's Daniel Klein. "It's exciting that online films about sustainability are now being shown side by side with the blockbusters and romantic comedies normally associated with airline entertainment."
