To make bread, you need a growing agent like flour, water, salt and usually, like a yeast. To break the bread, CNN Someone is particularly listed – Tony Shalhob.
Broadway And the “monk” star enters the crowded area of celebrity travel, host this fall with “braking bread”, which follows the actor worldwide because he discovers cultures and food through bread lenses.
“It’s about bread, but bread is actually a vehicle, as a ship, to portray history and culture and people, and people to find out and know what they do and what they do,” they say.
The series, which debuts on Sunday night, follows Shalhob as she samples Baglets and Bullabasis in Marselle, France, and takes down the fluffy milk bread and red bean paste buns in Tokyo.
‘Delicious bread’
The first episode is set in the current home of the shalhube New york The city and he eats old -fashioned pumpranikale and rye bread, as well as Irish soda bread scones. He goes to Chintown for black cake and current rolls fried in Brooklyn and Chintown for small Caribbean neighborhood.
“I don’t know how you assured people to make this show. We only get to eat delicious bread,” guest Lin-Manuel Miranda The shalhube tells because he chews everything on the bagel with cream cheese and jam.
Shalhob finds himself in Brazil in the second episode, affects the immigrants of Lebanon, such as the food of Sao Paulo is given to the scene: Flatbrade, Zatar, Pistachna and Kibeh. He visits a cassava farm, learning about fermentation and Ephro-Brazilian heritage in things such as a deep-bored bread ball made of black eye flour.
This can be a show about separate breads, but Shalhob and his team are happy to try various local foods and drinks. “It used to be a show about bread,” he jokingly jokes onscreen after pounding Brazil’s cocktail to a Capirinha. (“Due to the schedule, there is no shortage of day drinking,” he notes in the interview.)
Congested ground
Shalhob is part of a crowded area of Celeb travel hosts, including Rain Wilson, Eugene Levi, Stanley Tuki, Orlando Bloom, Zack Ephron, Jose and Chris Hemsworth, Will Smith, Eva Longoria and Ivan McGregor.
They are all watching late Anthony bordenWhose CNN had the “Parts Unknown” series part travelogue, part history text and part love letter for food.
Amy Antelis, Executive Vice President for Talent, CNN original and creative development for CNN Worldwide, worked on Borden’s show and Greenlight Shalhob.
She says, “We do not try to become a Tony Bordene and no one thinks they are going to be,” she says. “We try to work with people to go on that mission, but to make it.”
Shalhob collected three Amy Awards for his work in eight sessions as passionate-intellectual private detective Adrian monks. After the show ended in 2009, Shalhob earned nominations for three Tony Awards, won for “The Bands Visit” in 2018 and starred by winning another Amy in “The Marvels Mrs. Massel”.
“I don’t want the show to be about me. I feel like I am doing more work as a tour guide, so to speak. I want it to be more about other people – the people I meet, the people I interview, the new places I get to travel,” Shalhobs.
“I don’t know that TV audiences need to see a lot after all these years. I definitely don’t want to see me a lot.”
Bring family
“Breaking bread” is a trip and dining show, but it is also a family case, the oldest children of Shalhob, joining him with Josie, Josie in Marsile because they detect their father’s 1920 trip through the city. His wife, Brooke Adams and daughter Sophie, included him in Iceland, while his siblings and nephews were involved in a visconsin-based episode.
“Bread for me is tied to memory, has been tied since our childhood, our parents and our grandparents are tied to the grandfather and all their contemporaries,” they say. “We are drawing from the past, but it is also something that we want to pass for our grandchildren and forward and further.”
Antelis says that Shalhob’s show is ending in a large part because she has never done anything that is coming in the form of fish-out-quarter, who reveals an open heart wherever goes.
“You receive someone who is really fresh and new to such work, but comes with food and a kind of deep love and passion and journey for people,” she says. “This is Tony behind the actor and I think we are really getting a good understanding of that person.”
But there is a moment that can rank certain original inhabitants of its current hometown. During the New York episode, Shalhob is taken to Jersey City across the river, where he is introduced to “the best pizza in New York”.
The best New York Pizza is in New Jersey? “I am going secret to the rest of my life now,” he jokingly.
