Epic Food Journeys with Mark Wiens
Mark Wiens crosses six countries to find the dishes that define a culture - from 24-hour street food marathons to foraging in remote countryside kitchens.
Epic Food Journeys with Mark Wiens is a National Geographic YouTube Original that follows the world’s most-watched food traveller as he chases the dishes that define a place. No studio kitchens, no scripts - just Mark, the people who cook, and the cultures their food carries.
Produced by CreatorsLab from commission to delivery in under three months, the six-episode first season became one of National Geographic’s highest-performing series on YouTube, earning a Webby Award honour and a Shorty Awards nomination along the way.
