Ainsley Harriott: A taste of Route 66

Route 66 serves up a mouth-watering taste of America, with flavours and influences from around the world. In this episode, Sean Fletcher hits the road with legendary TV chef Ainsley Harriott to explore the people, dishes and stories behind the food of the Mother Road. They chat to Bobby Lee, owner of The Big Texan, about a landmark year as the restaurant celebrates 66 years in business alongside Route 66’s centenary. And in Springfield, Illinois, they meet Josh Waldmire of the Cozy Dog Drive-In to hear the story of his family’s long connection to this legendary roadside institution. Salivation for the nation!
