Town and Country: Hitting The Heights -
weekends with yankee

This week on Weekends with Yankee, senior food editor Amy Traverso visits Worcester, Massachusetts, where she meets the husband-and-wife duo running the doughnut shop Glazy Susan, followed by a trip to American Vinegar Works, where she picks up some artisanal vinegar. With that in hand, she heads to the restaurant Deadhorse Hill, where executive chef Jared Forman shows how to cook pork katsu curry. Then, it's off to southern New Hampshire for adventurer Richard Wiese's journey up famed Mount Monadnock. Joined on the trek by Everest climber Paul Giorgio, Richard highlights everything you should pack in your backpack for a climb such as this, particularly in winter, and along the way we get a glimpse at the different types of people who take on a challenge such as this one. Finally, we make our way to Bethlehem, New Hampshire, to meet the owners of Wozz! Kitchen Creations and explore the flavors and techniques that make their spreads and sauces so special.

About Weekends with Yankee:

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE is a 13-part travel and lifestyle series named for the long-running publication enjoyed by readers across America for more than 80 years.

With New England among the nation's top tourist destinations, the magazine-style program takes viewers on an insider's exploration of the cities, countryside locales and far-flung places in the quaint and scenic region.

The series is hosted by Richard Wiese, (Born to Explore) , an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, author and explorer who has traveled to all seven continents, participated in two expeditions to Antarctica, and cross-country skied to the North Pole.

Amy Traverso, a senior food editor at Yankee magazine who has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and the Food Network's Throwdown with Bobby Flay, joins Richard as co-host.

She highlights recipes, local flavors and the sense of community that make up the regions' food and dining scene.

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE offers an "all-access" behind-the-scenes pass to the unique attractions that define the region, and the hidden New England that only locals know.
