Welcome to America’s Front Porch. We celebrate great food, great music and great people.
Through the course of a single episode, Chef Ohlinger visits a farm and talks with the owners about their enterprise. He then picks up fresh ingredients that they offer and heads into the kitchen where he prepares a meal without a net. He doesn’t have any recipes planned. As he said in the pilot episode, “This is jazz, we’re making it up as we go!”
While Chef is cooking, a musical guest plays a song. And then, Chef Ohlinger and the artist(s) have a seat and break bread. He talks about how food and music connect us and has a good old-fashioned conversation with great people.
During the first season we visited West Virginia farms in 8 counties highlighting the work they do and their family legacies.
