#ICYMI, Thursday, on Instagram, host Taylor Hicks helped INSP unveil the nine states featured in the debut season of the network’s latest Original Series—State Plate.
That’s right! American Idol winner, singer, musician, entertainer, and owner of, as he puts it, his own “barbecue joint,” adds “host” to his repertoire, as he tastes his way across America sampling some of the states’ most symbolic and popular foods. From appetizers to main course to dessert, Taylor piles his plate high with delectable delights.
So set a reminder, set your DVR, mark your calendar (if you want to rock it old school!), but do what you have to do to catch the State Plate premiere October 21st at 9p ET.
With a flare and charm only Hicks can provide, and a few iconic state props, INSP rolled out the debut season states announcement on Thursday, August 18, 2016 exclusively on INSP’s Instagram channel over the course of the day. Oh! The suspense!
But now you can see the locations all in one place! Is your state part of Taylor’s tour this season? Check out the list below!
