Join The Round Table at American Food Quest

American Food Quest's Round Table

American Food Quest has added a new feature to their website call The Round Table. It's designed to allow site visitors to become A Food Questant by sharing their own food quests with other visitors of the website.

We want to hear all about your yummiest hidden culinary secrets from homemade stinky cheese to specialty libations and everything in between.

Does your grandma make the best pie you’ve ever had? Tell us all about her and why her pie recipe is so special.

Do you like a special topping on your pizza that’s only available in your area? Share your faves with us. We promise we won’t laugh (we like saur kraut here in Iowa).

Have you ever visited a restaurant in the middle-of-nowhere that attracts people from near and far? We’d love to hear all about it.

Does your town offer homegrown produce or livestock options that put the mass-produced stuff to shame? Tell us where you are!

So put down your fork, wipe that BBQ sauce off your chin, and share your favorite foodie stories and pix at our Round Table.

While you’re at it, be sure to let us know where our next adventure should lead us by Requesting a Quest.

American Food Quest is looking for America's Most Interesting People, Places and Food

American Food Quest

Just another cooking or travel show? I don’t think so. After all, not just any show will take you on a Booze Quest to the banks of the Mississippi where Chef Robert will teach you how to creatively use gin and vodka in recipes shared by a small family-owned distillery.

What’s that? Spirited recipes not your style? Then tag along on a SPAM Quest. That’s SPAM as in pork shoulder and ham (not those nasty emails nobody wants). We find out what’s cooking in Hormel SPAM Town USA in Austin, MN.

Chef Robert and his camera crew (you’ll meet his cameraman, Paul, on many of the quests) are in for endless cooking and travel adventures as they embark on food quests that bring you the most interesting people, places and food across America.

AFQ is a web-based show, so our audience (that’s you) will interact with us through comments, ratings, and the most important interaction of all, the ‘Request A Quest’ where you tell us exactly what you want to see. Do you want to see Chef and Paul go on a quest for the smelliest cheese? No problem. Cooking with the Amish? Hmmm, we’ll look into it. Does your grandma have the best-kept secret family recipe for apple pie (and can you expose her secret on the Internet)? We’re on it. We want to hear it all. We will even let our website audience vote on some of the top suggestions we receive.

What’s The Show Really About?

We are tracking down hometown culinary America. We are searching for America’s best kept cooking secrets, from grandma’s famous apple pie that has been handed down for generations, to that middle-of-nowhere restaurant that people drive hours to get to just for their one specialty.

We’re also after that special ingredient or homegrown produce or livestock that beats the mass-produced grocers hands down. From characters to creations we want to find the unique, the tastiest, the healthiest and the just plain fun foods, places and people across the country.
