Twin Cities PBS Introduces Relish Presents: A New Three-Part Series Celebrating Minnesota's Culinary Storytellers

Documentary-style food series premieres August 22 on broadcast, streaming, and YouTube

SAINT PAUL, Minn., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Twin Cities PBS invites audiences to experience Minnesota's vibrant food community through a new lens with Relish Presents, a three-part series featuring six prominent Minnesota chefs, premiering Saturday, August 22, at 10:30 am across Twin Cities PBS broadcast and digital channels.

From the acclaimed Twin Cities PBS producers of the Daytime Emmy^®-nominated and James Beard Media Award-winning series Relish, Relish Presents is a new collection of documentary-style short films that spotlight the chefs, makers, and stories shaping Minnesota's food culture. Each story offers an intimate portrait of a chef whose passion, creativity, and personal journey are helping shape the future of food in our state.

Relish Presents explores the conversations, traditions, and connections that food inspires. Each film invites audiences to discover the people, cultures, and communities that make Minnesota's culinary landscape so distinctive.

"Food has a remarkable way of bringing people together and opening the door to meaningful conversations," said co-producers Amy Melin and Brittany Shrimpton. "Relish Presents celebrates the individuals whose stories remind us that food is about much more than what's on the plate — it's about community, heritage, creativity, and connection."
