The show will be hosted by Joe Bastianich, a familiar face to TV8 audiences, renowned for his deep culinary expertise and engaging on-screen presence. Each episode of Foodish features a celebrity guest—an expert on the city or the specific dish at the heart of the episode—who joins Bastianich to explore and evaluate the best versions of iconic regional recipe, with the aim to claim the prestigious Foodish apron, a symbol of culinary excellence that recognizes the best interpretation of a dish in a given city. With each episode dedicated to a specific Italian specialty—ranging from the perfect risotto in Milan to the most authentic carbonara in Rome—contestants must impress both Bastianich and the celebrity guest to advance and win.
