Spirit Plate

An immersive culinary adventure that takes viewers deep into the heart of Native America, guided by award-winning celebrity Chef Pyet DeSpain (Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation). Each episode drops audiences into a new and breathtaking landscape — deserts, forests, plains, and coastlines — where Chef Pyet joins Indigenous communities to gather, fish, hunt, and cook in the spirit of ancestral tradition.
