Taste of the Midwest

Join Dan Kaercher, recently retired Editor-in-Chief of Midwest Living Magazine, as he journeys through 12 states across the Midwest on a "culinary mission." This program highlights some of the heartland's unique places including restaurants, breweries and farms. While traveling 8,207 miles and gaining ten pounds, Dan discovers what delicious foods can be found in the heartland and the one-of-a-kind chefs, bakers, farmers and ranchers that make their versions of home cooking come to life in Taste of the Midwest.

There is a one-hour version of this program and a series of nine half-hour programs.

**Please note: Dan Kaercher personally visited all of the parks, preserves and recreation areas while videotaping these programs in 2005, but circumstances can change. We encourage you to call ahead if you are planning a visit of your own.
